Player Watch Nick Daicos - Can he be the GOAT?

[Sector 7G]

Naicos needs help bloke is carrying the whole side right now and not getting a inch of space at stoppages needs more blocks/support from his teammates.

Play Dgoey as a permanent mid?

You mean like every other mid that plays for a bottom 6 team. GOATs aren't icing on the cake players they are the whole cake. He could try to break a tackle rather than flicking the quick handpass to players in traffic.

Like Sheezel with LDU, Wardlaw, Simpkin, etc.?

Oh wait...

Oh wait...

Or like Pendles, Crisp, De Goey etc. Aren't they premiership players? To blame others for ND not being able to get it done is a cop out. It is not easy to be a mid in a bottom 6 side. The teams are usually there for a reason.

Pendles and De Goey - the players who have missed nearly as many games as they have played this season?

Hold up is Fudgey really trying to blame Nicks poor form on his teammates lmao?? I don't recall GAJ using that one at GCS when he was universally seen as the best player in the league, then again he was actually known for winning a hardball in his day...

GAJ was 27 years old when he went to the Gold Coast.

Let's see how GOATcos is travelling at that age.

Will he have learned to put his head over the ball by 27 you reckon?

 

[ferball]

Like Sheezel with LDU, Wardlaw, Simpkin, etc.?

Oh wait...

When Nicky boy outbodies Cripps and calls the ball back to his hand with sheer willpower, like fricken Yoda in a Star wars movie, then maybe you can mention him in your god forsaken little thread. Till then wait till he actually wins a hard ball in a contest.

Did that once with a premiership on the line

 

[Fadge]

Did that once with a premiership on the line

Except it wasn't Cripps he was competing against.

Cripps doesn't play in Grand Finals.

 

[ferball]

That was great play but not even on a level below that crap Sheezel pulled on the weekend.

 

[Fadge]

That was great play but not even on a level below that crap Sheezel pulled on the weekend.

Looking forward to seeing Sheezel do it with 5 minutes to go in a Grand Final that is on the line.

Nick Daicos - tick.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Cripps doesn't play in Grand Finals.

Neither will Nicky for a long long time unless he leaves that retirement village they call the AIA Centre

 

[Fadge]

Neither will Nicky for a long long time unless he leaves that retirement village they call the AIA Centre

He does play for a club that has played in more than one third of all Grand Finals contested.

I suggest he has a minimum 4 more Grand Finals ahead of him.

 

[HairyO]

How do you know McRae only gave Ginnivan 3 votes on Saturday?

Sicily got a single 5.

MacDonald and Ginnivan either got 4/4 or 5/3

What makes you assume Ginnivan received only 3 from Fly?

Because it is happening all the time with Collingwood votes.

Nick Daicos - tick.

So am I.

At this rate it'll be in 2026.

Since 1960 you lot have played in 15 GFs and won three. Based on that there's every chance Nick plays in those four GFs and loses every one of them.

And because you seem to think that history repeats itself , we will just tick off another 3 of those as grand final losses shall we ?

Pendles and De Goey - the players who have missed nearly as many games as they have played this season?

Pendles has played 15 of 18, De Goey 12.

That's quiet an exaggeration.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Lesson number 1 - never expect Fadges calculations to line up with reality. His abacus is faulty.

Thank you for the invitation. Sweetest moment of 2024. Remember when Nick got 10 votes v Carlton in round 8. Remember when he loses Walsh and kicks a sensational goal to put us 6 points with a minute to go. 51 sec left and another boundary throw on HFF. Carlton need a goal in 51 sec to draw. Walsh has been so badly burned by Nick he doesnt even watch the ball , has his back to it corralling Daicos. Nick loses Walsh in an instant then outbodies Cripps to regain the ball, Cripps goes high, free. Cripper, a gun, lies there for a precious 10 sec, wasting that time cause he is done

The night Carlton got Nicked. You shouldnt have forgotten it, its a great moment for non Carlton viewers. Here it is again

And look where it got the mighty Pies... Sitting in the bottom 6 of the AFL and Nicky is trailing in every major award there is. "BEsT pLayER in tEh ComP!!!"

Bottom six. Is that where Carlton have featured for 75% of the century without the excuse of coming off a premiership?
