Player Watch Nick Daicos

[nahnah]

30 and 3 goals in a 10 goal win, Sheed could have had 70 disposal and Nick would still get the 3 votes

So many great midfielders that have won the Brownlow in recent times have had to wait at least 4 or 5 seasons at this rate Nick will win one in his second year.

30 disposals @ 70%, 3 Goals, 9 score involvements, 5 inside 50s & 626 meters gained.

Might need a run in the 2s to get some touch back.

And now a 9 day break to freshen him up for a massive game in Big Freeze 9!

Thought he was excellent today, yup quiet start but just very damaging midfield front half game.
BOG easy.

Can't remember an 18 year old midfielder dominating as much as Nick ever, even Gary Ablett jr took a few years to hit his stride. Nick's only discernible weakness seems to be a poor left foot kick, sometimes kicks with his right foot kicks that needed to be taken with his left. Played every game since debut and is only going to get stronger/better once he has 3/4 seasons under his belt.

His left is nice the few times I've seen him use it. But he does favour an unusual inside out right foot kick when others would use their left. I don't see it as a weakness though. He usually hits them really well.

I have not seen Nick have Bad Kicks on the Left

You barley seem have a Bad Kick maybe 2-3 at most in a Game

As does Josh on occasions, although he has a terrific left foot.

that inside out right is something his dad used to use so it’s unsurprising given how much time they would’ve spent in the park together kicking a ball

Nick is 20 mate.

He certainly doesn't play like an inside mid. Doesn't really go hard at the footy in packs

Not all inside mids are extractors.

It’s a Daicos thing. Remember Peter opting for a right foot almost backwards banana instead of a left foot snap for goal? Pretty sure the logic was that using his right foot that way actually opened up the angle a bit more. I’m certain he’s taught Nick and Josh like that.

 

[sr36]

I think a lot of tagging has gone out of fashion because the best players learnt how to beat a tag.

The reason Bontempelli doesn't get tagged is not because teams think he's not as good as Daicos, just he's too bloody hard to tag there's no point. I would say right now Daicos is the 3rd person player on our list behind De Goey and Moore, he's not the best in the competition. Yet.

It's gone out of fashion because it's become a lot harder, due to teams no longer trying to free up the bloke who is tagged but instead using it to get someone else free. If a tagger just follows a man they get dragged to a one on two leaving someone free in space. So they need to be really sharp and constantly switching - at which point they lose the bloke they're tagging.

Nick mentioned after one game he was tagged in that it just frees up a teammate.
Plus Nick is smart and elusive enough to get away anyhow.

That's ok, the Collingwood chant and team song will forever be engraved in their heads after we pump em on KB.

At least Grundy still remembers the team song.

We should put some snow chains on their players cars.

Too far?

I know this is a joke and what not. However, I feel pretty uncomfortable people touching another persons things just because they’re famous. It’s weird.

A lot of people like to touch famous people's things

It's how Leonardo DiCaprio has so many girlfriends
