Player Watch Nick Daicos

[doofdoof]

Still not the best player in his family.

Yet.

 

[sr36]

Nick has the freakish ability to kick the ball accurately with the outside of his boot, while also being able to control height of ball flight. I've never seen that before.

True. He uses his left for short passes occasionally, but for long kicks he does an awesome inside out drop punt from the outside of his right when everyone else would have to use their left.

It’s called “turbocharging”.
And that’s what Trump did.
While people have always made up stuff to suit their own agenda, Trump took it to the next level by simply batting away any factual rebuttal with the “fake news” label.

There is already a political thread you can rant on until your hearts content. We don’t need it in any of the footy threads. Yes I know you didn’t start it. That was cliffdrabble
Back on topic. Nick will cop it from jealous opposition fans just as Buckley did unfortunately. But he is a star & both he & Josh have been brought up very well & will cope just fine,

Just a fluke, like all his dads goals

Can we stop hyping up this kid, he's only been playing for 2 years. Just because he almost won the brownlow and pretty much won us the GF, doesn't mean he's that good

I’ve been hyping him up since he was 12, only player I’ve ever done that for and probs the only player I ever will.

But agreed he’s not that good

 

[Anzacday]

Let them bag him as a receiver.
Last 20 seconds of the GF 2nd qtr. is probably the best bit of “receiving” you’ll ever see.

That passage of play has been lost in all the hype over the DeGoey goal but it was just as good. That inbound pass to WHE was just sublime.

The soft + won’t perform when it matters most narrative really died in the 2023 GF

See, now you are one of the culprits. Just because Nick was getting 50 possessions a game and playing hopscotch around 12 yo kids does'nt mean he will become an AFL great.

I particularly liked him receiving his premiership medal as well.

Sublime hands and skills in tight. Weird that an oppo supporter would show their lack of footy nous by voicing his ‘simply outside’ game.

Only Daicos to not win a Copeland.

Yep he’s got some way to go yet.

You obviously haven't been reading the main board thread about him.
"Soft, over rated, uncontested seagull." are still constant themes.
His evident greatness is really triggering for many opposition supporters.

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

I remember his first game - it was against us. he was a star the moment he crossed an AFL boundary line. but the most astonishing thing about that game was that Brodie Holland kicked 8 goals to win us the game.

That and one of our mug supporters almost got his lights punched out by John Worsfold after the final siren as he was walking down the race.

Bloody Idiot.

Anyone who denies how great he is must have the envy of a school girl.

 

[The Phantom]

I don’t want to get ahead of myself about Nick, but I do think we should sign preliminary contracts with his entire sperm count as well.

Their opinions have no value, they are brainless haters who probably don’t even believe anything they say themselves

 

[adammania9]

Never has there been a tall poppy case in footy like with Naicos. Even before he was drafted, he was a chip scab and would never compare to the great Horne-Francis

Mostly from Carlton supporters which is ironic given Craig Bradley played for them.
I suppose many may be too young to remember the sheepdog.

He was seriously good though. Nick's a bit like combining Braddles, Diesel and his old man.

Braddles was a gun. Nicks got the run of him, a shitload like the 35 and don’t see Diesel at all.

For Diesel it's the vision I'm comparing - how quickly he an scan, see and hit a target that others just couldn't.

Braddles was a star from game 1 and still very good when he finished 375 games later - Pendles is the only player whose played as many excellent games of footy as he played.

Nick Daicos is to Collingwood what Gryan Miers is to Geelong. Miers may kick more goals but Daicos scans the field just as well, maybe even better than Miers does
