That's harsh. He could just be a moron.

There's so much tripe written in this thread. Seriously Daicos COULD be the GOAT by the end of his career and on performance's so far suggest that he is improving year on year. People comparing him to Bont, Heeney or even Walsh is crazy considering the age difference.
I don't think he is the best player at the moment but what he's done for a kid is unbelievable. In just his second year he was smashing the brownlow count until he got injured, starred in a premiership and amazed all us Pies supporters.
I don't care if people rate him or not, just happy he's playing for Collingwood and love how he goes about it.

This is what a poster with a brain and self awareness would post.
This thread is unfortunately the result of the opposite.

Somebody explain to us how Biscuit fingers was better than Bontempelli in 2023 and is currently better than Heeney in 2024 using some actual statistics... Not "he was leading an award before he wasn't" or "someone said he was one time on the radio etc"...
Please, entertain us.
Please, entertain us.
Don't let the lack of there being any such award for clear number 1 player or standardized measure to determine who it is get in the way of saying its the guy from my team. I need everyone to say the best words about my team or we gonna settle this the good old fashioned tsunami of subjective and cherry picked statistical supporting evidence arguments for the next few pages, guy.

This is the type of season which would exemplify what most would call 'being the clear best player in the competition'

Lets take a look at Dustin Martin's 2017:
- AFL Players Association MVP (Leigh Matthews trophy)
- The AFL Coaches Association champion player of the year award
- All Australian selection (his second)
- Brownlow medal
- Premiership medal
- Norm Smith medal
- Gary Ayres Medal for best performer in the finals series
When has Nicky done this?

If you look at the things Nick Daicos has done, and base a criteria around them, he ticks all the boxes verrrrry nicely, thank you very much. I'm sure Richmond fans will try to argue that list of encouragement awards somehow stacks up against a different list without lots of those things, which is why I know my girlfriend is hotter than theirs and has huge cannons, losers.

Yes I'm sure Nick Daicos coming runners up in a few awards and being statistically inferior in nearly every way possible to Bontempelli in 2023 ticks a lot of boxes 'verrrrry nicely'.
Unfortunately for Nicky boy there's a big difference between almost being the best and being the best.
Yet in his second season he still got closer than Walsh ever has, and had two finals better than any of Cripps', resulting in a premiership for his club that they were not winning without him last year. Best player in a premiership team, aged 20? Tick.
Salty flogs protest otherwise.
Goddam it. But what if I like the good players on my team more? It's going to feel empty knowing you looked at numbers that were mean to Nick
One person in this exchange has massive insecurities and a chip on their shoulder. One does not. Very simple.Goddam it. But what if I like the good players on my team more? It's going to feel empty knowing you looked at numbers that were mean to Nick

Very insulting to Daics these days to compare him to losers like Spudfoot Walsh and Lookatme Cripps

Assume this also goes for the poster WalshistheGOAT...

The main difference is Martin was 26-27 or so when he did this. Daicos is in his third year and Martin was no where near Daicos at similar stage of their careers.This is the type of season which would exemplify what most would call 'being the clear best player in the competition'

Clearly Daicos hasn't had a year better than what Martin did yet. But on current projections, I have little doubt he will barring some injury.
Walsh was better than Martin in the first years of his career. There isn't a team in the AFL who wouldn't be scrambling for Naicos signature when he's out of contract. Luckily we've locked him away for awhile.

Also need to factor in the fact he wouldn't have been playing at the time had those games not been Preliminary/Grand Finals.Season 2023

Interesting the comparison is with Martin, as we've seen how quickly his performance drops off when he's not 100% fit...

So he made the All Australian team and was part of a premiership team. I'd expect a bit more from the 'clear best player in the competition'.Season 2023

You obviously have trouble reading.
He won the Fadgelow medal.
The keep assuming the brownlow was a certainty even though the pies were apparently playing dead rubbers for the last month

They are still obsessed ! Not sure why Carlton folk are so invested in him as you stated. No other fan base is really in here commenting apart from Carlton.
It has to be jealousy I suppose? No other reason why really ?
Wouldn't be much fun if all the pies supporters in here were circle jerking over their superstar and no one else was here
