Umpires love Neale to be fair.
Deserves the 1. Wouldn't be surprised if he got more. There was stranger voting last year

Typically “nice” game by Nick.
30 touches - nothing devastating or inspiring, ….more just…collecting.
He could learn something from some of the other Collingwood hard nuts.

22 kicks, 650 metres gained and 7 score involvements off half back. Hard to argue Daicos wasn't effective in his role tonight (even if his disposals are a bit hit and miss this year compared to 2023).
With Daicos and Noble at half back Collingwood sliced Brisbane up on transition.
Brisbane still smashed Collingwood in midfield and in the territory game but were beaten by efficiency. Placing pressure animals around the ball with Daicos mopping up opposition errors is a better role for him.
6 "contested" possessions, though obviously not too heavily contested or he wouldn't have taken possession.
4 intercept possessions.
20 times he took a kick in or his team-mate who had already won the ball gave it to him, often by going backwards.
1 tackle, lol.
Still only went at 70% disposal efficiency.
And Fadge reckons this is BOG.
It is the only role for him. He is too scared to play anywhere else.

He floats through a game like a cloud - he doesn’t bring a storm - he just floats past.
Looking forward to Nicki leading all awards after the first 4 games for every team

As a supporter do you genuinely believe Nick Daicos was the best player on the ground?
He had 30 touches (4 were kick outs).
Tom Mitchell had 24 possessions with 14 contested (Nick was 6 x CP) and went at 95% DE to Nick’s 70%. 7 tackles to Nick’s 1. 5 clearances to Nick’s 2. 5 inside 50’s to Nick’s 4. 6 x SI to Nick’s 7. 1 x GA each.
Neale’s game easily eclipsed Daicos. More disposals, more CP, more clearances, more tackles, more goals, more score involvements. 20 CP to 6 CP and only slight inferior DE of 68% to 70%
Elliott’s 4 goals when needed ranks him higher.
Naicos is in a group with Bobby Hill, Rayner, McCluggage, Zorko, Noble and most of the Pies defenders in next rung down.
I’ll be very surprised if Naicos is in the top-3 coaches votes. He might get a vote or two.

Apologies … I see on further reading the Naicos thing was a Brownlow discussion … even in the Brownlow I can’t see him getting more than 1 given Neale and Mitchell are proven votegetters and had superior games.

I much prefer Sheezel.
Beautiful moment from the highlights on the AFL website. Go to about 2.10 into the video and you'll see a bit of a scuffle, Naicos comes in and lays a finger on the blokes wrestling, gets a slight nudge and goes catapulting away from the contest. He must've thought the ball was in play and he could win a free kick.

Frampton and Mitchell were both ahead of him for mine, maybe even JDG.
How you read through this pile of shit is pretty bloody amazing. LoL.
Out of curiosity, has he got off the mark yet in relation to contested marks ?6 "contested" possessions, though obviously not too heavily contested or he wouldn't have taken possession.
4 intercept possessions.
20 times he took a kick in or his team-mate who had already won the ball gave it to him, often by going backwards.

When he lots of kicks from half back, he's criticised for not getting enough contested possessions. When he gets contested possessions, he's criticised for not getting enough metres gained. When he gets metres gained, he's criticised for not being stormy enough.

He's just trying to accumulate possessions to make him self look good, it's selfish and embarrassing
