Player Watch Nick Daicos - Can he be the GOAT?

[heatleystandend]

I doubt very much that McRae was the one that gave Daicos the 5. He was easily best to half time but he had very little impact after that and zero in the last quarter when Carlton made their run. I doubt a coach is rewarding that. He would be spewing he went missing when Carlton made their run. Makes much more sense.

 

[p4p1]

Most awards are a farce, only one with some form of integrity is a BnF

This is probably a pretty fair statement.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Ah yes Vossy the renown tactical expert. The decision to let the undamaging player roam must have resulted in a win for his team.

Didn't Voss belt your mob in few grand finals back in the day? Nicky had pretty much 0 impact on the game after quarter time outside of a nice goal assist and lacing out Carlton players all night going at 54% for the game

0 votes was harsh, but understandable.
5 votes is taking the absolute piss.

Embarrassing stuff from Fly.

Backtracking only 20 years now! A nice change from 50 years. Bloke was a great player, but he is a spud coach. Maybe the opposite will happen and all of Carlton's players will become champion coaches

 

[Purple7x08_24]

Given Fly had taggers going to Cripps and he was still whooping ass while Voss let Daicos run around free as you like... I think it was pretty clear who the coaches thought was having more of an impact on the game.

As always Farcical Fly giving out charity votes to his beloved Nicky

Who would you have given your votes to in that game?

I'm thinking about doing my votes for each Dockers and Port game next year to see how it compares to that of the actual coaches votes. Bigfooty should have a collective if it doens't already.

I just had a look and Collingwood gave best player to Nick Daicos, so likely Voss gave him 0 votes.

I looked at the Port game and here's what I could work out

My Votes
5. JHF
4. Willem Drew
3. Mitch Georgeades
2. Butters
1. Wines

Here's what I thought were the votes, so there were some differences. I think Sydney didn't see the effort in Georgeades which I thought extended his forward line responsibilities. Sydney saw more in Farrell's lead into fwd 50. Admittedly it was a tough exercise given how many played well for Port.

Once again deflecting. Fly giving Nicky the 5 is as close to a farce as you'll ever get. Reckon that's the 5th or 6th time now he's been nowhere near it and Fly has managed to sneak him in somehow.

Individual coaches votes should be made public to prevent him from further diminishing the integrity of one of the best awards in footy.

In a game that was won by a missed set shot after the siren I would have had:

4- Pendles
3- Cameron
2- Weitering

Throw a blanket over them for 1

Once again deflecting - after you yourself deflected to Michael Voss' playing career which ended in 2006.

"Nowhere near it"

Fly, the AFL and several media sources have no idea, but apparently you do. Forget the fact he was listed as one of the best in every source you can find. All of them are wrong, and you are dead right.

He was 'one of the best'

He was also nowhere near BOG. Even Pies fans were saying Cripps was BOG by a mile

 

[mako_roo]

Voss seriously gave 0 votes to Daicos on Saturday night? This is extremely concerning, and affecting the overall legitimacy of an important award, as he is skewing votes unfairly to favour his own player who is trying to

Daicos was much closer to being BOG than he was not being top 5 on the ground. Voss has seriously missed the mark

Oh my are u serious, as a neutral supporter the last half he was pox. Last 1/4 he was invisible

 

[Doc1763]

Oh my HairyO Flybags McRae has done it again hasn't he???

Cripps 9 votes so 5 from Voss and 4 from old Flybagger

Nicky 5 votes from someone and 0 from the other

Coaches award has become a farce with Fly in charge of the Pies

Lol, pot, kettle, black.
Voss the Toss gave Nick 0. Lol

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Lol, pot, kettle, black.
Voss the Toss gave Nick 0. Lol

Closer to the truth than thinking he was BOG

Daicos and Cripps had the same number of effective touches in the last. Cripps turned it over three times to Daicos' once. Cripps' ball winning and creation of opportunities saw him have a great last quarter. Nick cleared him ease over the first three quarters. They weren't that far apart.

 

[Doc1763]

Closer to the truth than thinking he was BOG

Fly had to make up for Crazy Vossy trying to get Flagless Crippa over the line.

 

[Worm4]

3 Brownlow votes to Nick , surely. His to lose now

 

[Doc1763]

3 Brownlow votes to Nick , surely. His to lose now

Cripps will get the 3

As i said " From a neutral observer ". Diacos's 2nd half was incredibly average. If Daicos had a good last 1/4 Carlton wouldn't have came back so much. He was average bro

 

[Worm4]

Cripps will get the 3

Reckon fadge won't agree.

 

[EBERT THE KING]

Cripps has an unassailable lead in the Brownlow.

Will go close to 40 votes for mine.

 

[Doc1763]

Reckon fadge won't agree.

Probably not
I think it will be Cripps 3, Nick 2, Cameron 1

Good lord

If Carlton were 32 down then obviously Cripps was no good and has no business polling 5 votes from either coach then, by your logic

"From a neutral observer" doesn't mean anything, bro.

 

[Worm4]

Probably not
I think it will be Cripps 3, Nick 2, Cameron 1

Cripps , Cameron, pendles

 

[Doc1763]

Cripps , Cameron, pendles

I could live with that

 

[adammania9]

3 Pendlebury 2 Cripps 1 N Daicos

Are you serious ??

This is seriously getting embarrassing now Walshy.

Cripps wasn’t a clear BOG, Daicos played a great game.
