Moved Thread Nick Daicos or Sam Walsh?

[BringouttheGimp]

how do you compare Sam Walsh with a guy who plays the easiest role in footy? the juicy unaccountable half back role who inflates his stats with kickouts?

A general question.

Is it impossible to predict a young Maradona will have a better career than say a Ferenc Puskas. Garrincha. Alfredo Di Stefano?

The signs from a grommet in his 1st year.. mate.. he took the Mickey out of the HB role.. they'll be no flies on him playing in the guts when the time comes.

Spot on mate, Bryce Gibbs even looked good playing the seagull role.

theres no evidence to suggest that he'll crack it in the midfield. there was nothing from his game in year 1 that showed that he had any inside grunt work or clearance skills. he may just end up being a back flanker or a wingman.

The comparison to fellow rising star winner Andy McGrath is valid.

Both very comfortable playing loose off half back. Question marks over their ability to run through the middle and then handle a tag.

Pies don't give up one of their best young talents for Mitchell if they had faith in Daicos.

Di Stefano had a better career than Maradona.

No evidence?

Paddy Dow in a back pocket might work.

huh?..what are u talking about...

Daicos didn't play in the guts last season so there's no evidence to suggest that he can. He played a juicy half back role who was good in the open space.

If there's no evidence.. then he'll turn out like a Paddy Dow in the guts right?

I think there's plenty of evidence there to suggest that he'll do very well in the midfield. He's not going to be a clearance king like Walsh.. but what he does have..that special something that Walsh doesn't have.. a unique rhythmic approach to the game. Poise. Polish. Dynamic. Etc. And he's not soft. He does throw his body in there. Calling him soft that's just folk ramping it up in here. He's also only 19 years of age.

Lol bringing up Dow in a thread about Walsh/Daicos is peak deflecting

Watching how a player goes about it down back.. impossible to guage how he'd go about it in the guts? Like absolutely no evidence at all?

You're the one who's deflecting.

 

[sydney_gws]

Both very good, I think given how good walsh is it will be hard for daicos to match that, however he may well do so. It might depend on how much if any Nick grows/ fills out.

 

[Ginnieboy]

Peter wasn’t even that good. Was flashy though which is why people like him. Bonus points for being Greek.

Jaicos has gone from 69 to 78. Will get bigger.

Naicos with 10+. A 15 yr career.

Opa opa.

 

[Ginnieboy]

Walsh as he's the better painter

Cracked me up.

 

[Ginnieboy]

Both special players who will win multiple AAs, both will probably be the best player in the comp at some stage, Walsh will get there first though, I feel Daicos is much more exciting to watch though.

 

[BringouttheGimp]

Michel Platini & Roy Keane.

Two of the greatest midfielders of all time.

Michel Platini was better.

 

[BringouttheGimp]

Sidebottom & Adams.

Both injury free.

Both 300 game careers.

Who would have the better career?

One is a clearance king.. the other.. outstanding football IQ.

How am I crying about it? Just has no relevance to the topic. Anyway keep deflecting

Except for the fact he was one of the best junior midfielders we’ve seen.

So was Bryce Gibbs, means nothing.

You always seem to have a sook when anything negative is said about Carton or a Carlton player, are they all perfect or something?
Don't ever say anything negative about anyone else, you may get called a hypocrite.

 

[Zevon]

Point taken on Gibbs but I’m not sure it means nothing. There will always be isolated examples of gun juniors failing to make it, but broadly speaking a player’s performances in junior/U18 competitions is still a good, albeit not infallible, indicator of their likelihood to succeed at the top level
