Player Watch Nick Daicos - Can he be the GOAT?

[WalshistheGOAT]

Anyone spotted Nicki Boy since his team stopped feeding him the ball? Noticed he had a kickout that QTR but couldn't see the Gul anywhere after that?

 

[Fadge]

This thread will have 10,000 pages by the end of his career with the constant reactionary takes. Any good game he has: "Daicos is the GOAT see we were right". Any poor game has: "Daicos is literally the worst player in the history of the AFL"

As would have happened if there were threads about Coleman, Matthews, Carey and Ablett Snr back in their days...

Nah, there wouldn’t be nearly the polarising debate about their talents as we see in this thread.

Mate, don't compare a dainty half-back flanker to the true men of the game.

Yes I have noticed it more and more recently (probably happened a lot before but I am noticing it more now) just how many handball receives Daicos gets. It is insane.

Imagine it!

Coleman is such a shit truck
He only kicked 15 this week

Even when he is out of position

He demands it from absolutely everyone no matter where he is on the field.

I mean on the one hand it makes sense to search for your player who is a really good user of the ball but on the other hand it does feel like his stats are being padded massively by playing in such a way.

Yeah, why would his teammates want to ger the ball in the hands of the best disposer and decision maker in the game?

 

[Blue and Silver]

Nick's like any top tier player. Limited.

He thrives when the conditions are right, struggles when they aren't.

He's nowhere near GOAT status, but he has plenty of time to amend that.

Poor first effort start of the game, but to his credit he did body line the ball much better than recent weeks

Problem is, if his teammates aren't winning the ball at the stoppage, so his poor defensive efforts are further exposed

Biggest concern, they look for him far too often when he is in a non damaging part of the ground

 

[Trav 20]

The bloke's a bit embarrassing. Always looking for a 15 metre chip kick.

Never liked so many Carlton supporter posts in my life tbh

Only works if his team is winning the ball themselves. If Collingwood get smashed in the middle Daicos isn't going to be much help as he can't win the ball himself.

exert himself into the game that 2nd quarter, few huge clearances, couple of big one on one wins and some elite ball usage... Meanwhile as soon as Nicki's inside mids stopped feeding him the ball he was nowhere to be seen.

 

[Arr0w]

Ah yes, evident by going at 57% efficiency

Always struggled under immense pressure

14 possies (5 highest in the game so far) yet only 280 metres gained

Really aren’t getting bang for buck per possie

Agree, apparently the best ball user.

The best ball users look inside first and take some risk

280 metres gained is pretty good for half a game of football, but he should be getting those sort of numbers given he is essentially an outside player who gets fed the ball by his teammates who are doing the harder work.

Nicks ball use is elite. Kicks it to a player in a position that he can run straight back past them to receive another handball receive

The value in his possessions is really not there
Collingwood will want this contract off the books soon

Agree, I was only looking it as per the number of times his had the ball and taking into account he is playing off half back

Wilmont from Brisbane who is playing a similar role has 324m for 12… Wilmont also going at 100% DE

 

[Shane Heard]

As would have happened if there were threads about Coleman, Matthews, Carey and Ablett Snr back in their days...

Yeah …nahhhhh

Going at 58% by foot this year, which is below average
