Unless you use it to strengthen your opinion
I didn't think he was the most impactful player either, to me Pendlebury was the standout
What I find funny though, when Goatie hasn't received the top votes, the commentary has been "but we know the umpires see it differently"
Building well into the season
Yeh, if you want an effective disposal all you need to do is bomb it 50m to a contest or be a Matt Crouch style midfielder that just handballs it to the player next to him. Nick goes for the most damaging option that entails a higher degree of difficulty, sometimes they arent going to come off and nuffies are going to go derp my effective disposal.
Rustin Cohle
Flat Circle
The Luke Ryan special.
And just like that, your limited credibility goes out the window.
When you typed it, I am sure you sat back with your school friends and laughed.
Look mummy, I made a funny.
Being a WC nuffie, I will forgive your obvious limitations and lack of knowledge.

Champion data suck.
The reason they gave for Merrett being 70th best player in the comp was his ball usage.
Same as you above, he cops it for not taking the safe option.
Gonna be good fun in a couple of seasons with Harley and Naicos at the G. Looking forward to it once Harley can run out a full game allegedly and has a couple of pre-seasons and at least 30 games under his belt. Good times ahead for both clubs. Honourable mention to JHF for the Norf fans.

Wowee.
Imagine Harley on ANZAC Day, King's Birthday, 90K crowds when playing against Essendon, Carlton, Richmond and Geelong, and guaranteed to play in a Grand Final once every three years?
You wish!!! But seriously that would be quite the combo. Maybe we need state of origin back. Big V would be going alright with that combo.

It's actually something I've heard.
Harley did say before the draft, "my wish is to be recruited by Collingwood".
Not making this up mate.
Would love to see a Daicos led Collingwood and a Harley led West Coast playing for all the marbles at the G in a 2018 rematch. Juicy.
Yeah I heard that too. We will be doing everything in our power to not lose him. Whatever it takes.

100% I believe that. Just reporting what I hear.
Last bloke to pull this sort of stunt at the Pies was Nathan Buckley. Wanted to get to Collingwood by any means possible.
Not saying it's set in stone.
Just what a few people are saying who I trust. Probably a higher than 50% chance.
Unless you crash to the bottom of the ladder you don't have the capital to get anywhere near a acceptable trade. Took a major failure off field to lose Judd. I am hoping to quote a few of these when he gets to 100 and 200 games. Gonna be great for both fan bases watching Naicos and Harley grow. Good times for both fan bases.

Players always get to the club that they want to play for.
Dunno what is actually going on his head though.
Good time for both fan bases if he chooses to stay. As you say.
Nick is better

Champion data once again proving how useless they are are statistical analysis.
Collecting stats great.
Using stats useless.
Surely your own eyes, the coaches votes (perfect 10) or even looking at other points of data (7 SIs, 14 clearances for basic impact) would allow you to see his game for what it really was instead of 21st best on ground?
I can understand that the amount of people trying to nitpick holes in a 21yo’s game is a direct response to the amount of hype the media has put on him, but at some point you have to use your own brain to see it objectively.
A very young player that is one of the cleanest in the entire league and that regularly takes highly attacking and highly impactful options has one game where he’s less clean but instead does a tremendous inside mid job? That’s not an issue, that’s progress.
Wonder what people will try to argue against him in a few years when he’s rounded out his game. Maybe the lack of speccies or the colour of his boots.
starting mids of daicos, Reid and butters would go alright
Yeah I reckon that would be an unfair advantage to be honest.
