Think Tank Nick Daicos Contested Mark Watch

[frggr]

Hi team,

We've got a bit of a "mini off-season" because we belted Port back to 1997. Collingwood's got its usual September holidays but this might get them through to next year

Did you know that Nick Daicos hasn't taken a contested mark at AFL level? 70 games. 3 seasons. No contested marks.

Oisin Mullin an Irish kid who's played 10 or so games has taken one. Lawson Hunphries, 10 games, has taken one.

But not Nicholas.





Is 2025 Nick's year to clunk a big contested grab?

See he can use his speed and footy smarts to win 'contested' footy which Pies fans cling to to try and show he isn't a soft pissweak campaigner. However, that doesn't work for contested marks where there genuinely needs to be body contact and some level of toughness.

Maybe he's just so quick and crafty he can always find space and take the mark uncontested? /s

I was going to say what about intercept marks, but obviously that wouldn't work for Nick either has all his possessions are gifted from his teammates.
