Mods need to change the thread title to Nick Daicos - Can he be the biggest squib in history? That is what most of the discussion is about.
It’s possible as most coaches wouldn’t tolerate it in a player and they would be banished to the 2s rather just being sent back to take the kick outs.

Funny how they tried to compare him to KB.
KB had to worry about the drive by sniping, the shirtfronts and sling tackles all while not being able the throw it with the quick hands of todays game. As much as I hated KB as a player at the time, you had to respect
him

And herein lies the issue. I think of the GOAT player as being someone who could slot into any team of the past and have an effect.

Daicos would be the first player to die of fear if he played in years past.
 
Yes yes we know... Jason Castagna is a better player than any current Pie. 3 time premiership player etc...
Which year did Castagna (arguably) perform as the best player in the competition across a full season, or (undisputedly) perform in the top 2 players in the competition across a full season?

Because Daicos has already done that once, after only two years in the system.

Go.
 
Taking the view that their currently isn’t an agreed upon GOAT, that it is a discussion with different philosophies and views on what’s valued.
Let’s compare the brain fart Fadge has had with HalfstepNick with someone who it’s agreed upon, isn’t in the discussion.
Say… Nick Reiwoldt.

..and most likely could have represented Australia as a running athlete at international events like Olympics, World Championships etc if he hadve chosen that sport.
Well this certainly is the thing that will separate the Nicks when we're comparing their AFL careers...

o_Oo_Oo_O
 
What I am saying is that neither you, I, nor any other keyboard warrior is qualified to call any AFL player a squib. I could only imagine that it takes a high degree of courage to play AFL football.

Therefore I would never have the arrogance to accuse any player of lacking intestinal fortitude.
Arrogance, delusion and jealousy.

Good to see you've got your life back in order, Welcher... amazingly coinciding with the start of the footy season.
My life is fine thanks Fudge :)

It is funny that I stopped posting in a footy forum once the footy season stopped - what’s amazing is I started to post again when the footy season started.

An amazing coincidence!

You squibbed the question.

Do you honestly believe Nick Daicos will be a regarded as a better footballer than Nick Riewoldt?

Nick Riewoldt had a fantastic career.

Both Nick's have had exactly one season where they have performed as the best player in the competition - 2003 for N. Riewoldt, 2023 for N. Daicos.

Admittedly, N. Riewoldt had the likes of GAJ, Buddy and Judd during his career (the best three players we have seen since the turn of the century), so that comparison is not necessarily a fair one.

Let's assess their careers once Daicos is done, but you have reminded me of a little update I was going to make to the OP...

…soft
 
In Dylan Shiel's best seasons he was always one of the best clearance players in the league, one of the best center square players at his best.
Yeah well..this is why I self demanded I be banned from the EFC BF board. It’s because of I’ve my absolute disgust with that useless, weak hearted piece of dog doo doo that is D. ****ing Sheila

Most of you are deluded morons who are gay in love with certain players who look like Tarzan but play like Jane.

Dill is the only Tarzen.

Get a grip ffs

If you're banned it's likely because you're a POS and a lot of people know it.

Yeah righto…you know im
Right

You got no response that resembles a comprehensive retort.

You total nimrod you.

I don’t give a dog’s vomit what you dogs-vomit fanboys think of me.

I deal in stark cold reality of where our list is at.

And Dill dilldo is not part of that progression.

I must have missed something . Did Nick win an individual award for this accomplishment ?
