Player Watch Nick Daicos

[eyeroller]

The boy is a maniac!

 

[Jen2310]

Good to see him getting some kms in his legs.
Next week he should be back in full training hopefully

 

[thommo_legend]

Looks to be running with a limp, will be touch and go for the semi you would think

I don't think he'll be touch & go for a semi, but I don't think it matters either

Not sure I'm seeing that? He looks pretty confident to me.

 

[YouBeauty]

Why would Nick play in a Melbourne vs Sydney semi? Play for Sydney for match practice?

Shoulda gone to specsavers

 

[Chief Ten Beers]

Put him in the goal square!

Will still find a way to get 30&3

If we lose tomorrow and have to play a Semi I wouldn't be surprised to see that happen.

 

[Do_Beta_Rapport]

He looks good this morning.

Another huge carrot for Thursday night, giving this fella an extra week + some for rest.

Won't be a Semi for us!! Straight to the Prelim, baby!

That’s how he got injured last time

The landing into spin was the only lateral movement in the clips shared here. Everything else was straight line and there wasn’t a limp in any of it. Have you seen different footage?

In terms of availability for a hypothetical FW2 match it’ll depend on his progression to full training next week. On the basis of this load session as long as he pulls up well I’d assume he’s in full training on Monday.

Not sure injuries work like that mate, a result of position on field.

I think in some of the footage I have seen , what might seem like a "limp" coming out of a sprint is more trying to avoid rapid deceleration through his bad leg. I have had the same injury (although much,much worse and my knee is held together by plate and screws) and it's a bit like how walking down a hill can put more stress on things than up a hill............he's consciously/subconsciously trying to avoid that stress. IMO of course.

He got crunched leading out of the goal square

So, it'll happen again if he plays FF? Baffling logic.

Pretty sure the injury occurred a game beforehand. In the midfield. Perhaps he shouldn't play there too.

A “limp” is probably overstating it, but he wasn’t as explosive on his right side on pushing off and getting up to speed.

Also very plainly favouring the right leg on the “landing spin” you mentioned.

Zero chance for QF, let’s hope it’s straight through to PF in a fortnight.

If you can’t see how Nick leading into marking contests puts him at risk of being injured after he literally got injured from this scenario then you must be pretty blind.

He shouldn’t have played in the midfield either once his outside game was shut down there.

This triggered me. Going down stairs has always been worse than going up them for me with injury

Well that will give me a semi. Perhaps even more

It looked to me like a quick coming back for their 4th spell of the day in the sub continent so below his “normal” standard. For the benefit of anyone with concerns I we’re still 9 days out from a theoretical return and he progressed very quickly out of the brace so he’ll step it up next week.

Not criticizing the pace, just noting the asymmetry.

So Nick can't play forward, or midfield.
If he gets attention in the backline, what is he supposed to do then?
Play lawn bowls!

If you can tell that from that quality of video can you tell me if Anthony Rocca's point was a goal?
