You do realise what acts makes up contested stats????
Plus, wasn't in the top 60 for average contested possessions and his contested rate was putrid
Most of Nicky's quick handballs in traffic is due to soiling his shorts

They should just rename it Naicosball.
9:48 the intercept and handball so quick you could barely see it in slow motion.
BTW: so iconic that Im not even sure what youre talking about. Iconic generally means more broadly known than just to the fanatics.

So when he has the highest amount of contested possessions for his team in a Grand Final, the contested possession statistic is meaningless, but then in the very next breath you belittle him for being outside the top 60 players in the comp for contested possessions?
You are one very confused individual....
I never associated his grand final with his other games
But, that's your normal modus operandi
Per possession, Nicky has a low contested rate for the year, fact
His average contested numbers for the year are outside the top 60, fact
Perhaps you should drill down to what acts equate to contested possessions
"Go"
Iconic ? I can show you 100 of them from the 1970 grand final if you like. That was iconic
No fadge, never tied in knots like yourself
I rate most, but not all acts that count as contested possessions
Another deflection from the facts though

Daics has invented a new level of skill with his airborne handballs and handballs over the back of the head
Speed, accuracy and inventiveness
Diesel still leads Daicos in the "30m handball over the shoulder to a ruck-rover running flat out" category but Daics will get there too

All the ones that changed the way the game was played from that moment onwards.
The errors in your "analysis and data" are embarrassing

Lol he would only have to put his infamous Fadge eye test to the task to see Nick Daicos has never won a hard ball in his life.

There is a thing called loose ball gets that are added to contested possessions counts
Young Nicky in clear space, gathers an errant disposal from either side

This is getting quite funny. The Dogs have been throwing the ball like that since 2015.

Ah I love this thread reality check to the over the top Pies fans.
Says the brave boy sitting behind his keyboardoh the irony
Wasn't aware we were judging the capabilities of a supporter group
Like me, all footballer followers know that Nicky is an elite footballer in the making, but they also know he prefers to be outside of congestion
And certainly miles off GOAT conversations

Absolutely!
We're going to get plenty of mileage out of comparing Daicos with the other GOATs over the next dozen years and beyond!
Good to see you're seeing the light.

An uncontested half back flanker that has never won a Brownlow, AFLCA, AFLPA, Norm Smith, Gary Ayres, BnF or Coleman.
I guess Leigh Matthews never won a Rising Star.

Who had the most contested possessions in the 2023 grand final?
