Спорт
Kane Cornes highlights how Essendon went to work on Nick Daicos to limit the Magpie star's impact, as Zach Merrett drew comparisons to a triple premiership skipper with his selfless performance.

Every time I see the number 7 in an Essendon jumper on my screen, I know the ball’s in good hands. Can always trust Merrett with the ball.
Daicos looked ordinary whilst on the same field as Zach Merrett

Any number of players were better than Daicos if you consider the affect each had on the game. He was WELL down the list
Shiel was so important because he played the Parish role who helped let Merrett do his best work. Of course he gets in the team.
how does daicos still get votes when he was 40% by foot. Wasn't close to Collingwoods' top 5.

He had 2 back to back kicks that went to Essendon players and then commentators said he’d kicked 2/11 targets, then checked the AFL app and it said 0 turnovers. Haha they even rig the stats for Daicos they love him so much

@Littleyeti7 you don't know what you're talking about. They don't update the stats instantly, check the stats now, it says 3 turnovers. You clowns will forever hate on a top 5 player JUST because he plays for Collingwood. I guarantee if he was playing for Giants you clowns would be calling him the GOAT

Because commentators and umpires get drawn to the “stars” of the game. He was around the ball, still got 31 possessions, but most of it was average at best because of the pressure by Essendon. If Daicos gets Brownlow votes for that effort there should be serious questions raised.
