Player Watch Nick Daicos

[#23 Hill]

Opposition fans will bring up the 0 tackles…

Bit hard to tackle with the footy in your hands

 

[Judd2Sewell]

It was weird to watch. He is so damaging when given the opportunity but could have been easily nullified with a tag.

Why wouldn’t you tag him??

Blicavs seemed to be tagging Mitchell for most of the game - at least at CBA's. I'm not sure whether Geelong would run two tags or minders, which left Daicos to do whatever he wanted.

They also tagged JDG with Atkins

Who do you tag, Mitch or Nick?
They will still have a field day either way.
Nick is unstoppable on his day and Mitch much the same.

Personally I’d tag nick every time. He gets less of his own ball at the moment (this will change as he gets stronger) so I think is easier to tag. Plus he is more damaging with his possessions.

O'Connor tagged him in the first qtr. Why that didn't continue the rest of the game is anyone's guess. It's not like O'Connor is good for anything else.

"He was football's Halley's Comet. Flashing across the landscape for a brief yet spectacular period"

I think you might be too young to have seen Halley's comet. Hyped enormously about how spectacular it was going to be, but it was a tiny little blob in the sky.

he’s a seagull and a stat crab that doesn’t win contested possessions … haha the salt of oppo supprters makes this kid even better

 

[Magnanimous]

Love watching Nick and Josh play together.
Nick the little general already at 25 games into what will be one of the great Collingwood careers.
Lucky to have Pendles to train with for the first few years too.
Going to be a great watch over the next 15 yrs, can't wait.

Oh and how good to see Peter after the game, what a family.

It’s weird, but I don’t think we have hyped him up enough!?!

He’s death by a thousand cuts, Nick. Never wastes a possession, and like pendles, always does something that leads to a goal, or chain of play to get us out of trouble. So smart and clean…

Yeah it's jealously. If he played for any other team they'd be saying how good he is.

Any Carlton supporters who say that are either jealous they couldn’t coax him there or don’t know/forgot who Craig Bradley is.

 

[The Majestic]

I was pretty pleased with how he went last night, and just looking forward to how he goes throughout the season.

Nick played well and showed zero signs of second year blues after his debut season.

 

[eyeroller]

Nick is not here to lie at the bottom of packs or even mow people down (though increase in his tackle game would be a bonus). Nick is here for the finesse and silk...to set up plays and goals.

 

[danielnajdek]

Wonder if the same people bagging Nick for getting "easy" possessions in the backline will say the same for the young North player..................

Who's that? I noticed JHF didn't play today. Form or injury?

 

[rand corp]

So lucky to have this absolute star playing for us, just beautiful to watch him play the game and alongside his very talented brother to go with it. Superb. Rarely wastes a possession and so damaging with his vision, decision making and skill.

He had 34 on debut in same role Nick plays. Will likely be seeing a comeback in young top picks learning off HBF again I think. Harry Cheezles that is.

You might get a surprise if you turn on the Port game.

 

[Horaceg]

Worth the wait, kids a gun, his brother goes alright as well

 

[legendstatus]

What do you think about an underworld medical system where we get sperm from Collingwood legends and superstars, impregnate wiling participants ( pay them ) tag them so we can monitor and have first use of the little future stars for the Black & White?

I think this is the future - anyone?
