Just pause and have a look at this exquisite kicking master-class
And so many of them at critical timesSome handy finishing there by a player with allegedly 'poor' kicking efficiency!
No I agree with you and knew the specifics, I think itās a silly statistic and itās evidenced by most gun mids having low %Only if it travels 40 metres or more (hence my tongue in cheek above).
Under 40 metres the target must retain possession, so a 50/50 isnāt good enough. Hence why the midfielders listed above have relatively low %s.
Mate he's the length of the Flemington straight behind Cripps in hard stuff. Keep puffing your chest.Then you'd have the league's top 2 contested possessions players, unfair![]()
Cripps gets constantly belted because he's slowMate he's the length of the Flemington straight behind Cripps in hard stuff. Keep puffing your chest.
Let's wait till the dust settles, I like your posting it's classic shit stirring!Cripps gets constantly belted because he's slow, while Daics just grabs it and scoots away like lightning š© no one can touch him
We're lucky to live in the time of Daics, what a beast![]()
Not them !!!Oliver 55.5, Brownlow favourite Cripps 53.1, Viney 50.2
Who are these great kicks you're thinking of who are better than the game's number 1 player N Daicos?
I laid out my criteria a few months back, long way to go to beLet's wait till the dust settles, I like your posting it's classic shit stirring!
If Daics ends up with two Brownlows or more, I'll concede
So you're finally using arguments I have for years LOLYeah, so you ignored Heeney, Gulden, Bontempelli and Warner?
Convenient.
It's almost as though the best players in the competition who take on the game with line breaking kicks, usually with multiple players hanging off them, have kicking efficiency percentages in the 50's....
I bet Ablett didn't leave the lights on.
Interesting thought and makes some sense.I'm not here to diminish Daicos: he's had a spectacular start to his career and will go down as one of the best players of his generation.
One thing to consider though:
Comparing raw Brownlow/Coaches vote counts between different eras is misguided. There has been inflation in seasonal tallies for stars over the past 8 or so years, just like there was if you compare the stars of 2008-2014 to the ones from 1992 to 2003.
Daicos may well end up with coaches votes counts higher than any Ablett Junior season this year, just like 2023. I'm not sure how many people actually think Daicos has had two better seasons than anything Ablett produced.
Best to compare raw tallies with players in their prime during the same seasons. Otherwise actual award wins and top 3/5/10 finishes in each award are a better guide if you want to compare say Ablett and Daicos. Just like it would've been the case if you were comparing Ablett to Williams, Buckley or Hird (for awards that existed in both eras).
Hereās a tip Trav. When you come a gutser using a stat you donāt understand to support an opinion thatās at odds with what the general footy world believes donāt double down.Don't give me ''probably'', give me the ****ing stats. Since he's moved into the midfield his kicking is shit. As demonstrated by his 57% kicking efficiency. He's learning that midfield is a bit different to his seagull position at half back where he averaged 70%.
Notice that no-one is making the claim that any of those others on the list are the GOAT.57.3% kicking efficiency omglook at these spuddy names around that mark

Very low quality analysis![]()
The only takeaway I got was that someone was trying to say 57% kicking efficiency for a mid is shitNotice that no-one is making the claim that any of those others on the list are the GOAT.

It's the most useless stat around. If you're a shit kick who plays in defence and aren't trusted to do anything other than long down the line, you end up with a much higher kicking efficiency than Gulden and Daicos.No I agree with you and knew the specifics, I think itās a silly statistic and itās evidenced by most gun mids having low %
No one is claiming Daicos as GOAT. That would be crazy. The thread is asking the question, based on such an unusually good start th his career, could he become the GOAT by career endNotice that no-one is making the claim that any of those others on the list are the GOAT.

I was responding to a comment made 30 mins ago?Got to chuckle at our good friend WalshistheGOAT bumping the Walsh GOAT thread, trying to keep him relevant.
Oh my.
