Player Watch Nick Daicos - Can he be the GOAT?

[BF Tiger]

Many Australian heroes are celebrated due to failure, Cripps just adds to the list

That explains the popularity of the Collingwood Football Club. 29 grand final failures means a lot of celebration over multiple generations.

Even the ANZACs won a few battles before abandoning the peninsula.

Sheezel has had a better 2nd season. And I don't think West Coast would trade Reid for Daicos. So no idea where this GOAT talk came from.

Sheezel having a better second season???


goldfish memory??

As in Sheezels 2nd season is better than Daicos current season.

Think he has just started another purple patch of form. Was running in the last quarter on Saturday like it was an Olympic final, while the Port players looked like Plugger

Issue with the torp was if it was marked by an oppo player in any decent team that turnover would prob lead to a shot on goal down the other end. Bad spot to turn it over. But it worked out nicely.

Some of the extremely skilled modern day players have modern day torpedo's with guidance systems.

The ball landed exactly where young Nick wanted it to land.
If anything, I am a little disappointed in the Collingwood player dropping the mark.

Yep he's about to start another epic run, Harley Reid providing some cover for him now

Reid, Sheezel, Daicos, Ashcroft. What is there not to love about the quality of those guys. All of them assets to their team at such a young age.

Reid - Can win a tough ball
Sheezel - Can win a tough ball
Ashcroft - Can win a tough ball

Daicos - Runs away from contact and has had to be moved back to half back at times this season due to continuous squibbing and a lack of tackling ability

Am I wrong?

 

[Thrawn]

Just a shame Cripps can’t do it when it counts. Let’s look at the biggest games of their lives
Nick Daicos - Grand Final

Possessions - 29
Contested - 11
Score involvements - 8


Patrick Cripps - Preliminary Final

Possessions- 13
Contested - 5
Score Involvements - 6

Cripps goes missing when it counts. I suppose he is not alone. He has plenty of Carlton friends that do the same.

That's okay, if meet each other in the finals Walsh will cream you instead.

Yes, because he has stood up in Grand Finals, not just finals, Grand Finals. Unfortunately, throughout the rest of his career, we will never know.

Grand final(s) - plural ?

0 and never will

 

[Worm4]

0 and never will

You were referring to daicos but in the plural sense.
You seem pretty adamant that Carlton won't play in a grand final any time soon either . Time will tell but I hope you are here to face the music if and when it happens

 

[South of the Yarra]

No, I was referring to Walsh, read the comment I referred to. Why on Earth would I say we will never know if Daicos will win one, when he already has.

Daicos is averaging 1.3 less contested disposals then Walsh is, despite going back to play in the backline
