So behinds are more important than possessions and disposal efficiency?
How about you consider ALL the stats, and not just the one's Martin was ahead in because he spent slightly more time forward of centre?

When people reminisce about Dusty do you think they'll remember some meaningless touches he got running around in the midfield or do you think they'll remember him tearing games apart in the forward half of the field?
Nicky's fluff possessions screaming for 1-2s in the back half will never compare to the impact Dusty had ahead of the ball. Was basically the best midfielder and full forward in the competition at the same time that year.
You might not have noticed, but Daicos has a tendency to do some pretty special things with the ball.

How much of 2017 did Martin spend at full forward?

You mean Sheezel wasn't capable of taking a team from the bottom to the top like Nick Daicos did. Wow, End of that argument.

Dusty was basically 7-8 years in the system by then. Nick has already done extraordinary things by his third year. I can't imagine what he's going to do once he hits that same age bracket.
Tigers wouldnt have liked Dusty to take contested marks for fear of breaking a fingernail
Judd won a brownlow in his 3rd year and had considered to have peaked at that point. Not all players improve.
Fair call that you can't imagine.
Now show me the graph for the past 3 years. You know, the one where Nick isn't leading the votes per game
Yeah, that's pretty poor from Nick.
Only leading every other player in the history of the game for average Brownlow votes, despite only being three years into the system.
But if we consider only the last three years of current players, many of whom have been in their absolute prime over that time, whilst including Daicos' rookie season, he's relegated to a paltry 3rd place...
It was you who said that Cripps hasnt been the best player for the past 3 years. If you are going to use graphs to support an argument, then show us the last 3 years
I never said Cripps hasn't polled the most Brownlow votes the last 3 years, but that isn't how one judges the best player.
His 2023 season, where he wasn't considered good enough to be All-Australian, stands in the way of your claim.
There are arguments for both Lachie Neale and Marcus Bontempelli to be ahead of Cripps over the last 3 years, and those arguments gain weight if we extend the time period any further.
Lachie Neale, for example, was All-Australian and club best and fairest in 2022 and 2024, and despite missing out in 2023, he was good enough to win the Brownlow in that year.
So this is your last win, 2 years ago (no evidence of course), whilst claiming/wagering we wouldn’t win more than 8 games?
Ouch

I'm still chuckling at this.
Comparing Nick Daicos' second best season into a three year career with a season that you have proclaimed as 'one of the greatest seasons ever produced by a player', and there's only a marginal difference.
And Daicos did it single-handedly in a team that finished 9th, whilst Martin did it in a premiership team that were humming, where the gameplan was built around him.
One of the great self owns in the history of BigFooty.
