And their averages this year?
Oh, so let's ignore 85% of the data?And their averages this year?
Some people just don't know when to stop.Nick has drastically increased his staging antics the last 12 months. Likely since getting lessons from the biggest stager of all

OK, so I’ve checked the tables just for this year and it does make interesting reading - for despite copping a hard tag weekly, Nick has been awarded just one paltry free for every 18.5 possessions. He needs to learn more from the king of milking frees, Curnow, who (just this year), is still very generously gifted a free for every 10 possessions (in front of goal).And their averages this year?
I dont see that in Nicks game, likewise in Curnows or GAS. At least that sets things straight. You don't like or respect ND as a player so have a bias against him stronger than you would have for most players. Makes it hard to be balanced in your assessments.I don't like him because he's a stager and has a history of squibbing contests. Those other names you mentioned don't take a backwards step and thus I hold them all in high regard as players. Dropping knees and accentuating contact for free kicks is not respectable play imo. It's embarrassing stuff.
Fisher was one of our own who loved dropping his knees and I'm glad we got rid of him. Pies supporters seem to have selective vision when it comes to Nick, seemingly most are incapable of admitting that he's a blatant stager.
Copping a 'hard tag weekly' firstly... He gets tagged like once every 3-4 games because coaches are *******s and want to 'stick to their system'OK, so I’ve checked the tables just for this year and it does make intersecting reading - for despite copping a hard tag weekly, Nick has been awarded just one paltry free for every 18.5 possessions.

And there’s more - Nick is penalised against just as many times as he gets paid a free, whereas the umpires pet, Curnow, gets a remarkable twice as many frees as paid against him.
I can acknowledge him as a gun player, no doubt about that. But yes you are correct, I don't respect him as a player in terms of his status in the game, GOAT debates and all the rest of it. Duckers and divers whether it be Carlton, Collingwood or any other minnow club are particularly repugnant to me.I dont see that in Nicks game, likewise in Curnows or GAS.

You are well out of step with the coaches and experts if you can't at least acknowledge he is a gun of the competition. It would be akin to me saying Charlie isn't the best or if not very close to the best forward in the game today if I didnt like him.
Except.... you've defended Curnow.Duckers and divers whether it be Carlton, Collingwood or any other minnow club are particularly repugnant to me.
Like Owies, Curnow, Motlop and Saad ?Didn't notice it too much, no. Probably the same as Lloyd with his in the back antics, they were mostly overexaggerated, but they weren't as blatant as Daicos, Ginnivan, Weightman, Dylan Moore etc these days. That's my opinion on it.
I have 0 respect for players who blatantly drop their knees and go down like they've been shot in the ass by a sniper every chance they can to draw free kicks. When Nick removes that garbage from his game I'm sure I'll view him in higher standings.
Owies I'd pay, Motlop borderline. Curnow and Saad not even close.Like Owies, Curnow, Motlop and Saad ?
And yet the AFL stats show otherwise - all these players get far more frees per possession than Daicos - in fact Carlton are statistically the most looked after side in the AFL.Owies I'd pay, Motlop borderline. Curnow and Saad not even close.
Duckers, divers and stagers. I think you are getting a bit unbalanced here with the use of these adjectives to describe Nick. Surely would be better to pull out of this thread now if your feelings are so bitter. Not healthy to get fixed on these thoughts.I can acknowledge him as a gun player, no doubt about that.

He forgot dodgers too!Duckers, divers and stagers. I think you are getting a bit unbalanced here with the use of these adjectives to describe Nick. Surely would be better to pull out of this thread now if your feelings are so bitter. Not healthy to get fixed on these thoughts.

Do you like Curnow who stages equally impressive with his diving flops with the softest of contact? Or the player in your user name who has a habit of impersonating an ostrich with his head trying to stage for a free?I don't like him because he's a stager and has a history of squibbing contests.

Love them both, both tough as nails and never seen either blatantly staging for free kicks. But I rest easy knowing poor Nick will likely be runners up to Heeney or Cripps in Fadge's beloved Brownlow award he's been waffling on about for months.Do you like Curnow who stages equally impressive with his diving flops with the softest of contact?

You need to watch Curnow with both eyes, not just the biased Carlton one eye. A known flopper who goes down like a $2 hooker with slightest of contact. Walsh, yes he”s tough but also plays for frees.Love them both, both tough as nails and never seen either blatantly staging for free kicks.

Find me some clips. Daicos has dozens on this site that can be pulled up at a moments notice... Reckon you'd be hard pressed to find any of Curnow that are as embarrassing as some of the crap Nick does. Charlie competes as hard and fairly as anyone in the league, the umpires just seem to love him.You need to watch Curnow with both eyes, not just the biased Carlton one eye.

His first 2 goals against Geelong from frees If he’s supposed to be this big power forward he sure falls over easy. Are his muscles painted on?Find me some clips.
