He's home.Daics now hard to stop in the Coaches MVP
Epic achievement for a 3rd year playerCongratulations to Nick Daicos - The 2024 AFLCA Winner.
Just think.... if not for injury last year, he would have gone back to back.Epic achievement for a 3rd year player
How many games has he played?Heeney OUT
Will prob make a vid about the challenges ahead in finals.Wonder if Heeney will make a vid about how disappointing it is that he missed this game and therefore the MVP
The games you choose to 'contrast' are interesting....Personally I put a lot of weight into head to head battles in pivotal moments, which is why I brought up the Bontempelli and Heeney examples. Contrast those games with the Friday night game where a team was trying to help an individual stat-pad, and I believe it highlights just how meaningless the Brownlow is, and how little weight it should carry when determining a player's quality or legacy.
This round? NoneHow many games has he played?
I don't often say this, but you're probably right.Just think... If Heeney hadn't missed 2 games this year he could have won the AFLCA ahead of Nicky!
He got himself suspended and has taken a softie for the last game, no one to blame but himselfI don't often say this, but you're probably right.
Swings and roundabouts - makes up for the 2023 Award that Daicos missed out on due to injury.
On average he might just have more votes than DaicosThis round? None

He was fit all year, no excusesOn average he might just have more votes than Daicos
Id still take Heeney.He was fit all year, no excuses
Id still take Heeney.
JUH would be the first player Id take tbh.Heeney had a better year this year.
But would you seriously prefer to add Heeney rather than Nick to the Freo list?
Were you Freo's list manager in the 90s by any chance?JUH would be the first player Id take tbh.
On a needs basis and the future potential I'd take JUH. We already have Brayshaw, Young and Serong. A Dynamic forward would be huge.Were you Freo's list manager in the 90s by any chance?
All awards are rubbish.
Attempting to argue that one player is better than another on the basis of an award is the surest way for someone to expose they have no clue.
Collingwood players statpadding for Daicos in a dead rubber only further highlights how meaningless awards are in the grand scheme of these debates, and yet people still bleat on about Brownlows in these dumb arguments.
All awards are rubbish?It's an umpire's award with a 3-2-1 voting system. Defenders cannot even win the award because umpires don't rate them.
If you can win an award because your whole team helps pad your stats in a dead rubber, that only further confirms how big of a joke the award is.
When Collingwood played the Bulldogs earlier in the year and the game was on the line in the 4th quarter, the Bont took over the game, took it upon himself to shut down Daicos while getting 10 disposals himself and kicked a big goal. That alone tells me he is clearly a superior player, yet he could lose this laughable award on the back of Daicos statpadding in a dead rubber, and you're trying to convince people that it's some kind of "premier individual award"?
Same applies to Collingwood vs Sydney. Heeney and Warner took it upon themselves to win the game from a significant deficit. That alone says infinitely more than the umpires allocating three votes enough times.
He's no Rachele.Some Elite 1m handballs to finish up his stat boosting season.
Neale can get 3 votes for a 15 disposal nothing game. I have Cripps in front by a vote or two at the end of last round though.Good on Nicky for making Brownlow night interesting. Hopefully Cripps can make the universe happy and prevent Nicky or Neale from winning it but it's going to be a close one
