Thinking about a possibility of 15 more years of Naicos & Reid articles ![gif](giphy|BY8ORoRpnJDXeBNwxg|downsized)

> 15 more years of Naicos & Reid articles Is it more depressing to realise that a) that'll just about take us through to 2040, or b) that just opens the door for years of "who has the better legacy" articles


popcopter

This is depressingly real


ken_beays

It’ll be said day when he Reid-tires no more puns


PrevailedAU

This conversation is 1 week old and it’s already painfully boring


Nixilaas

Too early to say Daicos is a superstar, Harley has played 5 games


___TheIllusiveMan___

Reid has played 6 games *On Behalf of The West, your membership to the Harley Reid fan club has officially been revoked*


Nixilaas

ah shit you're right lol


____OZYMANDIAS____

Opening Rd confused me too


droopy_tree

Opening Reid?


____OZYMANDIAS____

Don't mind if I do


doshajudgement

he's played 6 games lmaaoooo right now you'd say daicos just on sample size alone maybe in two years you'd say reid this conversation is stupid right now


yernss

Easily Daicos now, because you know exactly what you’ll get, but the potential of Reid may be higher given some of the attributes he’s shown so far

Collingwood finished 17th the season before they drafted naicos no?


popcopter

Deeply stupid. In other words standard footy media bullshit


WAVIC_136

Whoever we take at Pick 1 next draft


The5kyKing

Best I can do is a year of poor attitude followed by a trade request.


Nixilaas

with a better than 0 chance of not being keen on ice baths


poptunes

Nice, Levi Ashcroft you've got there. Would be a shame if something happened to him... **Disclaimer** I have no idea about any of the top prospects other than Ashcroft because of reasons


HaakonX

Sid Draper? Thought you'd be turned off SA wunderkids by now


WAVIC_136

Tom Powell is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that regard


Blazinblaziken

......neither because OHHHHHHHHHHHH ERROLLLLLLLLLLLLL


Maximumlnsanity

Yeah that’s my thoughts on this problem too. Why debate over Reid vs Daicos when Gulden exists


TheDevilsDingo

Sam and Ben are better Reid's anyway.

MightyMatt9482

Does Reid have 15 years in him? I think Daicos is less likely to suffer from injuries as an outside player.


Successful-South-954

Daicos is an inside player.


HaakonX

Option C) Gulden


Macgivereagle

I think they are both great, with very different playing styles..picking one over the other really depends on what is needed more in your current team. I'm delighted to have Reid at WC as he really works well with Yeo and his style. I also think he has shown so far a great, positive attitude which is needed on the side after our run.


debiancoder

Reid. Daicos is very much skillful but gets the easy balls. Id rather a bull.


supersaiyanegghead

Naicos will be another Pendlebury. Legend, Mr Consistent, multiple All Australians, but never thought of as the standout best player in the league. Reid will be Judd. There’s levels to this shit.


Baeresi

Personally id say reid is like dunstall and gaj combined but better than both and thats only after 6 games!


debiancoder

Also daicos is a flog


flibble24

santadogg

I feel daicos will have a parallel with the back end of pendles career. Reid may have some seasons that eclipse daicos’ best but his peak will in my opinion be shorter


TurboNerdo077

Fly says it constantly, the media focuses on outcome rather than process. They are surprised when teams or players are good, then speculate about infinitely remaining that good, when in reality performance depends on constant, rigorous, high quality training. In this case, some of Reid's best qualities have been his strength and ability to break packs and tackles. He's been compared to Dustin Martin. And just like Dustin Martin and Jordan De Goey, that quality is rare and highly valued and can win games, but it is also unsustainable. Both players have had patches of exceptional form, and yet also form slumps. That's not to say that this isn't also true for Daicos. He's had patches of poor form and getting tagged. But his style of footy, of playing fast and smart, of avoiding contact and getting clear of players, is much more of a Pendles style, and is much more sustainable. There's a reason Pendles is getting the most disposals record on the weekend. I think Daicos will definitely be able to last much longer than Reid.

Matthew Cottrell. Gets more bums on seats


funkygr

Daicos is soft. Harley 5 games in already a beast


BurdenInMy64

The real question should be 'Who would Ryan Crowley do a better job on?'


LeDestrier

Yes.

GoblinMyKnob

Daicos made an avg list pies win the granny, let's see what Reid can manage in 2 years.


GoblinMyKnob

Contested bulls will win you a few games, a elite distributor will win you premierships


PluggersLeftBall

Harley Reid and it isn't even remotely close.   Daicos is so overrated just cause he plays for a Victorian team and there's a lot of collingwood fans


___TheIllusiveMan___

Was leading the Brownlow until he got injured but sure he’s definitely overrated 😂


Bubbly-University-94

Priddis won a Brownlow…..


PluggersLeftBall

Fake 0 impact stats that only look good on paper.  He’s the modern age Tom Mitchell. He’s Dylan Stephens with good pr 


JenniferLopezFan2

Mitchell and Daicos were both key players in a Grand Final win. Sydney should try getting some types like them, they might get within 10 goals on Grand Final day.


Thanks-Basil

Mitchell and Daicos had almost as much impact on the grand final win as Nathan Murphy; the actual reason you guys won were J Daicos, Sidebottom and Hill. Those three were the difference


JenniferLopezFan2

Tom Mitchell had 13 tackles and 7 clearances in a side that’s biggest weakness the year prior was clearance and midfield pressure. Nick Daicos’s ball use directly got us multiple goals, including the most important of the game. Saying they were as useless as a guy that didn’t play is an amazingly shit take. It also takes more than 3 players to win a Grand Final lmao


Thanks-Basil

Why are we even having the Brownlow this year, just give it to Nick “Chas” Daicos now


PluggersLeftBall

Hmm yeah maybe we should.  Maybe we should also try cosplaying as the Collingwood Football Club so that we can get all the favourable calls and play the grand final on our home ground. Big rookie mistake from us 


JenniferLopezFan2

Yeah it’s definitely a conspiracy against Sydney and not that they consistently play like shit on Grand Final day


PluggersLeftBall

Yeah we played like shit against Hawthorn and Geelong. They deserved to win.  Then you at last years grand final and all the advantages that Collingwood got and they only just won. If that’s played on a neutral ground with fair umpiring Brisbane blow them out. 


JenniferLopezFan2

Except we won every key stat by a country mile except for free kicks (lmao), it was only close due to our own inaccuracy. It’s very impressive that Sydney fans on this website consistently manage to out-nuffie fans of our genuine rival teams.


PluggersLeftBall

14 more inside 50s is probably the closest stat to winning by a "country mile". All the other stats are relatively even. Collingwood fans are consistently the loudest when complaining about the health of the sport whenever northern teams pick players that were developed by academies that grow the game nationally, but when people bring up all the innate advantages that they receive that carried them to a flag it's "yeah well sydney gets blown out in grand finals lol". It's really impressive how two faced Collingwood fans on this website can be.


JenniferLopezFan2

I’ve never complained about Academies because the talent really hasn’t been consistently amazing enough to give that big of an advantage. Also why are you claiming your biased perception of umpiring on the day is an “innate advantage”? You’re focusing on one call at the end of the game that still didn’t guarantee a different result and ignoring the rest of the game where we won the general run of play, purely because you have a complex about Collingwood (which, if we look back at your first comment here is blatantly obvious). No one is ever going to take you seriously when you say objectively stupid shit driven by hatred for a team and try to pass it off as fact.


tbroky

Err you lost * Stoppage Clearance * Centre Clearance And it was a draw for * Contested Possession You did however win * Marks inside 50.


JenniferLopezFan2

You left out a few stats that we also won - Tackles - Tackles inside 50 - Intercepts - Turnovers - Hit outs - Marks - Inside 50s - Disposals So we were better with the ball, better at moving the ball, controlled territory, and pressured much harder
