Player Watch Nick Daicos - Can he be the GOAT?

[Chronz]

Oppo seething hard. If he played for any other team there'd be no issue.
Oh, I just loved the part in the granny when the GOAT made a clearance handball out of the middle, rushed forward, another contested handball to JDG for a goal. We also won it.

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Maybe, most coaches reckon the prelims are harder to win. Anyway, I don't even remember whatever handball they are talking about with Naicos . Can't have been up there the toe poke no one talks about the handball for folklore purposes. Must only be collingwood folk

Prelims harder to win? Not touching that one

See post 579 for the handball

Had Daicos polled in some of his clear BoG games he also would have won with missing said games. He had 2x 40 disp games for zip for starters, also kicking goals in both.
The winner on the other hand had some very questionable votes awarded.

More whataboutisms

Sure Fyfe missed votes too then

True but it's a big deal to do great things in a GF, winning moments, it is the hardest game of the year

Jezza's mark gave Carlton belief when they looked absolutely cooked

I refer you to the Dusty real GOAT thread.

According to certain Collingwood and Geelong posters 3 out of 3 BOG's in Grand Finals is no biggy, anyone who was lucky enough to play a certain role in those games could do it.

Anyway come and see us if after Daycare's 3rd Grand Final the 3 opposition teams have outscored him by 8 goals or less. So far Daicos has played 1 and been outscored by 12 goals.

I will say, Nicky is projecting to be an elite player of the competition over his career

But not in GOAT status until he wins more contested ball and shows more courage to put his body on the line

Think of the likely GOAT candidates, they all had the above attributes

You forgot Heaters smother on N.Reiwoldt.

Nick was a bit cocky there and Heaters showed you never give up exactly what you want out of a player never say die. A GF moment that will be replayed for as long as the game is played

Understand why a Carlton supporter would want to erase the Daicos handball from their memory...

Not erased. Not even memorable

 

[Worm4]

What on earth is this comment?

Just when you thought you'd heard it all...

Well, they're harder to win if you are a collingwood supporter you've lost 27 of them so fully understand.
They are pretty easy from a Carlton point of view. Generally when we there, we win them

When Elvis recorded a song, it usually went to #1. Long time ago, though.

Great analogy.



In fact, Elvis has had a #1 hit more recently than Carlton have had a Grand Final appearance...

You do realise that he was our leading contested ball winner in the GF by a fair margin?????????????????

Yeah, I can see why the deaf,dumb and blind would have missed that handball. That makes sense.

Gathered at pace in mid-air and given off before he hit the ground, at the most crucial time, it was the Handball of the Century

Probably more to the point, we were blessed having witnessed Diesel doing miraculous handballs every week, and those moments came and went. We certainly don't kick back and Jiz over one solitary incident that occurred because he may have done once, what diesel did a thousand times before him

I call BS - I never saw Diesel airborne throughout his entire career (though he was the best exponent of the handball I have ever seen).

It's quite extraordinary we're now witnessing a player with the handballing skill/vision of Greg Williams, the kicking skill/vision of Darren Jarman and ability to cover the ground like Robert Harvey.

Wowee.

 

[Fadge]

Jason Horne Francis more of a chance in my opinion.

Really? He'd better get a move on....

By the way, who do we have here?

Diesel was the best handballer I've seen pre-Daicos but he yeah never got more than one inch off the ground

The Daicos handball was a new level of skill under extreme pressure

Not his fault his arse was not much higher than that to start with.

Keep it in your pants please.
2 of those mentioned kicked 5 in a grand final as well.
Your little friend has a lot of ground to make up

Are you seriously suggesting that Nick Daicos is the best exponent of the handball since Diesel , and had taken the craft to a higher skill level since the great man retired ? Man o man
