Who would you rather have, Nick Daicos or Sam Darcy?

[Taper]

Darcy was taken pick 2 of the 2021 draft, Daicos pick 4. Both father son nominations and matched bids.

Daicos has shown more, but Darcy is a rare package.

If you were building a team from scratch and had to pick between these two, who would you pick?

Darcy.


Sans Dad.

 

[cosmicwinduptoy]

When was the last time the first three picks in a draft turned out to be the top three players from that draft? It looks like a strong possibility with Hornet, Daicos and Darcy.

 

[Meteoric Rise]

You would have to take Darcy, no other realistic choice, unless you want to live on a boat.

If you took Nikos off Collingwood Fadge would cry enough to flood the earth ten times over.

 

[Fadge]

This is an interesting discussion.

The best key position player of his generation, or the best non key position player of his generation?

 

[jakefooty23]

Daicos for me. Darcy has played 1 amazing game, vs one of the worst backlines in the comp. Daicos is in the mix for the brownlow medal for the second straight year and he's only 21. Can't go wrong either way though.

can we stop talking about the brownlow like it's some be all end all award? the coaches award and aflpa mean much more than the umpire's award.

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Daics was actually pick 4

 

[V8clock]

1. Jason Horne-Frances
2. Sam Darcy
3. Finn Callaghan
4. Nick Daicos
5. Mac Andrew

That looks almost certain to be 5 generational players with the first 5 picks. Has this ever happened before? What other drafts challenge it?

2001 had a big first three but a not-so-great 4 & 5.
2004 had Deledio, Roughead, Griffen and Buddy, but pick #4 sticks out like a sore thumb.
2005 had Marc Murphy, Dale Thomas, Xavier Ellis

. That will probably be the closest competition to 2021.

Lol, I guess your right though. If it was a be all end all award then Ollie Wines wouldn't have won one.

 

[CuttlefishMcfly]

I love watching Mac Andrew. His attack on ball is insane.

 

[smasha]

Naicos in a Tiger jumper,no free kicks for you.

 

[stallon]

"Generational" gets thrown around way too much

 

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

Daicos for me. Darcy has played 1 amazing game, vs one of the worst backlines in the comp. Daicos is in the mix for the brownlow medal for the second straight year and he's only 21. Can't go wrong either way though.

One amazing game only

 

[jakefooty23]

One amazing game only

What would you consider an amazing game? His second best game is 14 touches, 7 marks and 4 goals, great game for sure. But in a 90 point flogging vs Richmond? James Harmes kicked 4 and had 27 touches that day

 

[Iceman!]

Diacos for me

Elite mids impact the game more than any other position to me.

You can't lose though Darcy is an absolute cheat code as well.

Easily.

It's a blight on this sport that two of them were part of this utterly embarrassing and ludicrous Father-Son rule.

 

[conrad_437]

Charlie Curnow in his first 3 seasons played
47 games and kicked 59 goals

Jye Amiss in first 3 seasons
47 games and kicked 81 goals

Amiss is in the mix
I think Only hogan Cameron and Buddy have had better starts in the last 20yrs

Think you missed the point of the thread

 

[My Tilly]

Barracks for Port Adelaide and can't spell his own players name correctly.

He doesn't just plonk himself in the goal square and try to take marks. If you actually knew about him properly you would know he goes into the ruck or involved in chains all around the ground too. His agility and footy IQ allows him to do that. Going by goals kicked is not the indication you only go by.

 

[T2B_]

Darcy based on potential but it could well end up flipped.

I'm aware of that, I just don't think it was an amazing game
