Not to mention "the jig this way then that" to end up in the same spot he startedBOG ordinary. Turnovers and stat padding. Oh, and BT reckons that kick back inside couldn’t have been pulled off by anyone other than Nick

I too think the idea is a little silly because of how premature it is.
Though I disagree with those suggesting there is any reason for him to not be in at least, the conversation of best current players in the league.
We should all be able to agree he is, and my view is if he maintains that sort of form over a 15 year career then he is in the conversation, no?
I’m a Carlton supporter man I should hate everything about the Pies, but I enjoy Daicos as a player, everyone should
No.
The suggestion is absurd.
He's a lovely little player but if you've seen Matthews, Carey, etc. the suggestion is laughable.
He had a chance at a contested mark earlier but closed his eyes and shat his daks.

Do you think the past eras are comparable?
Matthews would probably be a good player in todays game, but he wouldn’t have had anywhere near the same number of goals.
Carey is a potential GOAT, so are both Gary Ablett’s.
Find your Matthews assertion more laughable than the Daicos one, if anything.
Matthews won a B&F as a teenager in a premiership year.
He kicked 90 goals as first rover.
Good God man. Get a clue.

In an era where the average full forward was a mud guts plumber pulled out of the VFA or a shit suburban league, and half the competition smoked a pack a day

Missed another target
You have to compare Matthews to his peers at the time.
Their records were vastly inferior.
You clearly never saw him play.

I’ve watched clips, you realise many of his games were televised and archived, right?
I would agree he was vastly superior to his peers but that means nothing. It’s a completely different era, your point is a fallacy at best.
Obviously I have enormous respect for him but I really don’t think he can be considered the GOAT purely given how amateur the game he played was

Oh dear
Why can't Daicos kick goals? Reminds me of a young Cripps in that respect. Needs to step up if he wants to be the Goat.

Just someone who understands the nuances of modern high performance versus someone who chooses to ignore them and live in sepia tone nostalgia I suppose.
I’ll let you work out which one you are, old timer.

No doubt Fly will give him coaches votes to keep him high in the award.
Close the thread. Absolute squib of the highest order.

Lethal would have been an out and out superstar today when he wasn't suspended. Would have asked Daicos questions that Daicos will never know the answer to.

Essendon had a clear plan for him tonight. I wonder if other teams will study the tape.
Durham, Caldwell and Shiel rotated on him and at every stoppage it was clear that they fought hard to stay goal side of him at all times. Any time he went to push forward they pushed him back at the congestion.

See you on the 9th green at 9
Lot of this from the GOAT tonight. Tough to watch.
