And you’ve got Daicos on 4 ?
We get it, you don’t like Daicos. It’s ok I forgive you.

No I've got him in the high teens/very early twenties depending on how the umps view a couple of games.
Daicos was one of 2 midfielders with 10 score involvements and 3 goal assists today.
The other was a 19 year old that had it 30 times, kicked 1.1 and had 6 clearances ontop of those numbers.
He also spent 25 minutes less time on the ground than Naicos in getting those numbers. Basically played an entire quarter less.
If anyone gets the 3 votes over Daicos it’s Wardlaw or Hill.

Exactly. Mods - get onto it. This thread has run its race on the main board. If people want to debate and clash then they can do so in this thread in the Bay.
We all wish Carlton had have won that night. It would have been 2019 or 22 all over

To be fair the Bont would be a worthy winner if Nick weren’t to get it
No, it would have been 79 or 81 all over
They wouldn't know this Heeney fella. He doesn't wear the stripes
Very similar %% to investing your money on Carlton to miss the tip 8. Although you said you already have done that....
Because of your outlandish statements and inability to back them up with actual facts. It's all guess work, abacus work, and fadgetheorum and no consideration for anything outside of your eye test which, to me, is merely of black and white goggles
Hows that betting slip going my man still waiting.....
The gap between Heeney and Daicos is smaller than the gap between Daicos and third

Bont was sensational that day but ND was also exceptionally good. Bont 10 and Daics 8 votes by the coaches tell you that

Not sure you are here to have a discussion but the idea that the 2024 Brownlow is a forgone conclusion with teams having 9 or 10 matches to go seems premature. The only one of the big awards we know currently is the AFLCA and Heeney has a nice but not insurmountable lead over Daicos.
If you want to be objective in a thread about GOAT potential and want to discuss the Brownlow look at what is known.
BONT. Will probably end his career as Dogs GOAT and an AFL legend. Career Brownlow votes 169 (10 seasons), 1st 2 seasons 17 votes
HEENEY. Excellent player, some chance to be a HOF contender. Career Brownlow 46 votes (9 seasons), 1st 2 seasons 7 votes
DAICOS . Exceptional career start, as good as just about any first 2 and a bit seasons. Brownlow 39 votes 2 seasons.
Further comparisons
Judd stunning young player and Brownlow prodigy. 12 votes 1st 2 seasons
Walsh another prodigy and the Carlton player i cant help but see as a career champ 14 votes 1st 2 seasons.
Trying to damn Daicos with faint praise seems a waste of time. The objective evidence says its silly not to see an early career of very rare brilliance and even if he just stays at current levels he will be in GOAT discussions at career end.

Few other fun facts with Daicos re the brownlow
1. He is the highest votes per game player of all modern players even after just 2 seasons at 0.93 votes per game
2. Only Haydn Bunton 1.04 and Graham Moss 0.95 rate higher than Daicos
3. By the end of his 3rd season its fairly safe to assume he will join Haydn Bunton as the only player ever to be averaging 1 vote or better per game.
4 On current trajectory he will be on course to be the greatest voter getter in Brownlow history
Daicos got 39 Brownlow votes in his 1st 2 seasons. compare this to what the top 10 Brownlow vote getters in history got in their 1st 2 seasons
1 GAJ 3 votes
2. Danger 0 votes
3. Dempsey 2 votes
4. Mitchell 7 votes
5. Pendles 1 vote
6. Rob Harvey 4 votes
7. Selwood 20 votes
8. Martin 18 votes
9. Judd 12 votes
10. Lethal (current GOAT) 5 votes
Add in Fyfe next best of modern players for votes per game at 0.90 18 votes
Nick Daicos getting 39 votes in his 1st 2 seasons is insane. A Bradman stat.

I was happy with naming him GOATcos, but if you’re suggesting we should also start calling him The Don, then I’m down with that!

Stick Nick into midfield of kerr and cousins at the start of his career and all of a sudden those numbers wouldn't be so high.
The gap between nick and Darcy Cameron ( thats what people in here are suggesting who is currently coming 2nd in your B and F) at pie land is such that the reality is that no one is taking any 3 votes of him per week
Bunton won his 3 brownlows in his first 4 years , add to that 3 sandover medals. Nick has a long long way to go to emulate the statistics of Hadyn Bunton
GoAT conversations are quite laughable even at this stage of his career

What's the difference of you trying to justify his greatness and the rest of us trying to tone it down ? I'm not sure who started the thread, but the premature ejaculation is quite odd to say the least.
Personally, I would have started the thread when he actually won a handful of AFL individual awards and used that as a base guide
