Sheezel and Gulden are better than Daicos so far this year

Would take both of them before Daicos

I know, but thats not the point. He doesnt get the recognition or respect that Daicos does despite being probably a better player, simply because he doesnt play for a big club in vic.
Everybody knows he is great but there is more to it

Should there be a statue of him?

There is some comical irony in the complaining of the Daicos hype (suggesting it isn't justified), but also wanting other players to get that same level of hype

Sydney players have always gotten their fair level of respect from the national football media

Im not complaining, just pointing it out as the point of the thread is about comparing Pendles vs Boak.
When most of the footy media is in Vic of course theyre gonna talk about those players more

Awesome player. Unfortunately gone on one season too long.

Huh? Pretty solid 3 games and then got injured

In what way is he a better player?

Has been pretty good mate, not sure what you're basing that on?

At this point Daicos is starting to get undervalued because of the hype he got from the media, realistically he's an out and out gun, as the other two are and you're splitting hairs in reality. Only difference comes down to personal preference, not the skill level.

Daicos performs better than Boak on the big MCG stage, the only real place to play football according to the “national” AFL football media.

I guess he’s played more career games there than Boak (incl a GF) so it makes sense.

No, I have not done a straw poll, just my observation of this place and Port fans. And the second Port post in this thread is along the lines of what I have read.

Yes listen to the minority of shrieking numpties. Ignore the vast majority. Makes sense

How’s he gone on too long? He is still playing well. He was injured. Should they all retire after an injury?

Correct
