Player Watch Nick Daicos

[Chrispiesssss]

I hate gambling. However, this must be some sorta record. Round 8 and we have a $2.50 Brownlow favourite!?

Insane.

Shows how good Nick is when a 26 year old gun is getting praise heaped on him for keeping a 19 year old to only 27 possessions in an away game

 

[danielnajdek]

Knew it was coming. Glad the boys are sticking up for him. Shows how close everyone is.

Interesting comment by nick after the game saying the club loves it when he is tagged as it gives the pies an extra player, not sure how they have worked that out to be the case but it is interesting imo probably some little genius tactic by Craig my brain is unable to comprehend

When Nick is playing off HBF and tagged the opposition has one less forward.
Meantime Nick plays all over the ground.
Still gaining his 25+ disposals

Why are opposition clubs targeting a seagull? Strange

Because he’s a very talented seagull. Best in the comp

He handled the tag much better than last week. Used the ball well. I particularly loved his pressure after he swung forward. This guy is a stud.

The statistics show it to be true. Someone tags Nick, Nick defends somebody else. It’s a two on one.

You know you’re doing well when the opposition supporters hate you. An indictment on society that a 19 year old can be so hated by opposition supporters.

And we've had two in 12 months

It's why Bucks stopped tagging. Simpson used to destroy us with it. We'd send Levi to someone, that bloke would go and block one of our guys - a two on one there, leaving a spare man free in space.

JHF? Yep dont agree with booing him either, or Buddy for that matter. Booing solely reserved for umpires, dog acts and distracting players kicking for goal for me.

If someone is sacrificing their game to tag Nick and he’s still walking away with 25+ disposals, in addition to a guy like Pendles going unchecked and getting 30, that can only really be regarded as a good thing I think.

I meant Ginnivan, but Horne-Francis is an example too

 

[whiteside35]

it was great to see Nick have a good last quarter,thats when the game needs to be won.He's that good,it won't be long until he really works out the tag(if he hasn't already).I'm expecting a BOG performance next week

Great analysis on First Crack about the futility of tagging Nick and how the team benefits from his football IQ at stoppages.

Tag away, as long as we keep winning! We won the contested ball and clearances today.

Yes but Nicks influence has been blunted. His def 50 disposals don't hurt as much as his inside 50 kicks or goals.

Yes they still set up our play but you would rather he have them deep in his defensive 50 the f50.

Think the coaches also need ro look at using g him as a HFF.

He was plenty influential in the last quarter when moved into the midfield

Yeah agree.

It is a team game. The Pies are smart enough to manipulate positioning around stoppages.

Daicos would stand next to Mills, Warner etc., and Clarke sat on a different Pie.

After the stoppage, Clarke is more interested in getting back tight on Daicos that it leaves another Pie free...Pendles and Quaynor had good days.

So please keep putting a hard tag on Daicos, and we will have Pendles do as he pleases and IQ run and carry instead.

Sydney only managed a woeful 2.6 across 3 quarters. The quelled Daicos, but at what cost to their overall game?
