Player Watch Nick Daicos - Can he be the GOAT?

[Arr0w]

That was next level silly from the umpires tonight. Umpires listening to commentators too much who market the game through the stars, so just give votes to the stars. They both got ridiculous vote tallys. Nick got votes in a game were he was tagged out of it - copped a knock and was subbed off.

Cripps the same, polled votes where others were better

It's why I don't rate most awards

Sad! He couldn't match Chris Judd Brownlow in third year.

He projecting not to be the goat

Juddy probably would have been the goat if op hadn't impacted his career.

 

[Daka]

He will win a couple of Brownlow's if the 2024 voting is similar in the future.

Fadge?

Fadge?

I meant current goat until nick obviously breezes past.

Pretty sure once you win won you get less votes in next ones due to umpires being more harsh

How did Cripps get 45 votes than he already had one haha

 

[Worm4]

I am on record saying that if Nick won this year's brownlow, I would label him the best player in the league. Oh well, it isn't to be.

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Absolutely robbed, should have gotten 60 votes, past winner's tax

If Nick doesn't win a Brownlow I might put him in my top 5 all time, that's how much I rate NOT winning a Brownlow. It's like reverse greatness.

You'd still have jizz running down your leg if Newcombe had have won it tonight

 

[RCAB]

I guess if we got rid of Worpel, Day, and Nash, he probably would have won.

Tom Mitchell and Crawford won Brownlows at Hawthorn, but nobody considers them among our top 10 midfielders at the club, let alone top 10 players.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

With how the voting's been over the last couple years he's definitely finishing his career with at least three Brownlows. Umps seemingly give zero craps when it comes to handing out 3, 2, 1's these days and will just default to the most popular mid. We've got All-Australian defenders with ZERO votes.

Daicos literally has a chance to have a handful of Charlie's, it's crazy.

There has to be a reckoning after tonight surely, can't have 2 blokes racking up over 80 votes between them, umps need to put more effort into it

"**** it, just give one to Nick"

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Yeah you know who deserved that one vote? Maynard had a massive game while getting booed all day

Yep.

So Bont MVP
Daicos Coaches Award
Cripps Brownlow

And none of them are the best player across the FULL 2024 season - that would obviously be Isaac Heeney.

I'm envious of the Sydney midfield and the medal count reflects this.
Cripps won the Footy show award which I actually rate as the votes come from past players who aren't biased in their opinions.
One last thing - surely Nick breaks the record for being 30 votes clear of his nearest team mate

 

[Chronz]

Heeney's already been BOG in both finals. Should be thereabouts in the GF and sew up the Gary Ayres, also a very good chance at the norm if they win.

 

[Fadge]

Aaaand he's done it with a round to spare, Daics now officially has polled more Brownlow votes per game than anyone in history

77 votes in 65 home and away games by my calculations.

Could be Bradmanesque by the time his career is done...

Have you watched this show?

Wait, how many votes did Bradman get from umpires exactly?

I was under the impression that his on-field performances were the reason he's respected and famous.

Like Leigh Matthews, and other footy superstars who have never won a Brownlow.

Oh sugar I counted his finals this is even more monstrous than I thought
