Fudge, Squibby this year was in the top 5 for distance covered 4 times. Not once exceeding 15km in a match.
In comparison Walsh at the same age averaged 15.43kms a game and was in the top 5 runners for the match all 23 games played... He twice reached over 17kms covered for the game.
Squibby runs a 6:30 2km, Walsh a 5:54...
U can argue Daicos is a better player, but to argue he's a better runner than Walsh is living in the land of delusion and falsehood.

Barely ever in the top sprints for the game either... IQ normally flogs him in that too.Is it better to plod around for 4 quarters further than anyone else or explosively sprint 50 times a game causing untold damage to the opposition?

If you gave every coach in the league pick of who they wanted to win a single game, do you really believe any of them other than Farcical Fly would choose Nicky over Bont?
I won't pretend I can talk for the coaches like you seem to be able to, but it still doesn't change the fact Daicos has objectively been the best player in the competition over the combined 2023/24 seasons.

Walsh had 7 games in the top runners and 5 over 15kms covered.
Coming off no pre season and major back surgery.
Think that just about settles that delusional argument.

In the top 5 runners for distance covered across the game...
So Daicos had 4 matches where he was in the top 5 runners, and Walsh had 7 where he was in the top 5 runners....
What about the other games?
And that settles your argument?
You're quite brilliant, Walshy...
Easily has him covered and in a bottom 4 side
Swap teams, and so do the accolades
Sheezel's 2024 season versus Daicos's 2022 season
As SOTY said.... looking forward to seeing Sheezel performing as the best player in the game across a full season by the time he's 20 years and 9 months.
You're the one with going down the age argument route...

At 21 years old pre back surgeries Walsh was in the top 5 every single game he played.
What's Nicky's excuse? You know... Given he's an 'elite runner' and all... Despite barely getting a look in with the top runners most matches for distance covered or repeat sprints.
Just more hyperbolic drivel from the Pies faithful regarding golden boy.
Sheezel is the best 18 and 19 year old in the modern game
Do it easily, apart from a team premiership
Rabbit wasn't the best player in the league in 2023
No, he wasn't, Bont had him covered, objectively
You desperately want to believe that, but that doesn't make it true.
IF Bont was marginally ahead of Daicos in Home and Away (and that in itself is debatable), Daicos overtook him in finals.
In the same way Neale overtook Cripps and Daicos in the 2024 finals series, as a better player across the full season (but was behind Heeney).

They'd all take Daics of course, what a weapon, stuff Bont
