It stands to reason that having a higher rate of contested possessions will lead to a lower disposal efficiency, because the player is under more pressure.
Nick tries some outlandish things that don't always come off, but when they do, it's sheer genius.
In one of his GOTY nominations there are two examples, and, of course, there is his immortal mid-air handball to Jordy in the GF.
And if he is given time and space he is an assassin of extreme precision.

For those type of plays they have a kick rating and the data must suggest he fluffs his lines enough to be brought down a peg. Most don’t remember that because it’s overshadowed by the memory of him pulling it off. I guarantee Naicos would remember them and be working on it.

Where I land on it and as a punter I think not having Naicos in your AA team is an indicator that the parameters need tweaking. I imagine they’ll sit down and review it at year end because people with brains like his do that type of stuff. Being their livelihood and all they check bias’ unlike on here.

as a photograph, Billy's mark looks better.

I cant split Nick's goals

Elliott for me. Gets extra points for sticking his dick in McKay’s ear hole.

The Suns goal for me. Started behind the centre circle, had three involvements in the play as opposed to forward of the centre circle gather and 2 bounces.

Have you made this criterion known to be AFL so they can announce it on Brownlow night?

One year ago we ...... them ....

Jamie for mine.

Jamie’s is a biblical story. It’s the spectacle of a mismatched one-on-one battle between a 177cm and a 202cm …

… however the 177cm uses all his skill and guile to quickly dominate over the 202cm and cause him to submit.

By contrast Bobby is an alien who has been teleported into a Caravaggio painting. It’s a mass of bodies and underworld figures being scattered to the four points of the compass as Bobby rises triumphantly above them all …

… but him landing deftly on his feet makes it look as if the teleport beam from the mothership has carefully guided him back down to earth.

Well done Kirk

I’ll send off the memo.

Please FU Ginni.
We need you right now.

When did it change?
Because Josh Daicos was robbed when that flog Draper got GOTY.

The Howe mark was even worse, Joe the Goose robbed him

It says after Howe was robbed of the MOTY when awarded to Daniher.

Except Jamie's is real, it actually happened.

LOL - yes his lack of discipline and lack of professionalism would be handy.

Jamie's background is a Where's Wally Puzzle. Find a smiling Bombers supporter. There seems to be only one kid who has anticipated how good this was going to be.

A bit before my time, but I had no idea there were that many Twomeys playing together in that era. Plus the two Roses and Richards. There must have been a lot of brotherly chemistry out there!

My very 1st match - went with father to Glenferrie Oval - Hawthorn supporters () giving it to Mick Twomey for some reason...

I presume you got that from this article?: https://www.collingwoodfc.com.au/news/1442005/teams-premiership-line-ups-history

There's quite a few shockers there, unfortunately!:

Buckely indeed!! There's Gilschrist instead of Gilchrist. Reynold instead of Reynolds. Westcott should be Wescott. Chesswass should be Chesswas, and there's R. Collier when they mean A. Collier.

We had an incredible five Rose brothers play for the club over the years (Colin only played reserves):

At least Bob got to play in a flag even if he was cruelly robbed of a flag as a coach

I'm sure plenty of Pies fans will be happy to know that the Collingwood Forever website is getting a serious (and long-overdue) upgrade, and the site should be relaunched fairly soon. It will be up to date to the end of the 2024 season. The old site is still there, but as some may have noticed, it's not fully operating, with the search function not working. I'm looking forward to the relaunch!
