AFL Awards. 2024.

[Donny]

AFL Coaches Award: Nick Daicos.

Runner-up: Patrick Cripps.

[think positive]

Wooohooooooo well deserved

[Pies4shaw]

And named on the wing in the AA team - not good enough for the centre, apparently.

[Mr Miyagi]

Wow, Darcy Cameron overlooked for All Australian. WTF

[Jezza]

Big congrats to Nick on winning the coaches award and featuring in the AA team.

Disappointing that Cameron was overlooked.

[The Black and White Lion]

Big congrats to Nick yes.

Nick should have been in the centre with the Bont out given the way he’s played out of the middle for the dogs. Poor form for the AA selectors but they’ve opted to build the team around Bont instead. It’s a pretty well deserved team based on the year though.

Best wishes for Darcy Cameron next year as he’s got to improve another few % again

[LaurieHolden]

Get your filthy paws off him.

[Donny]

Who's the youngest to win a Charlie ?

[Pies4shaw]

Don't know, Donny - but I do recall that Dick Reynolds was 19 when he won his first (as Nick should have been, if the umpires paid any attention).

[Donny]

Nick also won the ABC Footballer of the Year.
From Heeney, Cripps and Bontempilli.

[Donny]

The ABC Award:

35 - Nick Daicos.
26 - I Heeny, P Cripps.
22 - M Bontempelli, J Horne-Francis.

^ Nick would have joined Wanganeen and co if he didnt get injured against the Hawks. Could quite easily be going for his 2nd Brownlow. He could have easily taken home his third AA jacket this year too.
