He's a gun, no doubt.
But he doesn't hit the scoreboard and has no opposite foot. I don't think either of these descriptions will apply to Nick Daicos. So I guess if Zach Merrett could kick on his right foot and snag 20 goals a year, then maybe the comparison would work for me.

I think it’s more his ability to work smartly into open positions and then link up in chains of play. Despite both not having elite burst, power or top line speed. Just elite footy IQ, vision, work rate and foot skills.
I don’t mind the smaller Pendles comparison that Cal Twomey first run with last year either.
Either way I don’t think we should take offence by a player comparison. (I’d take Pendles over Danger any day by the way)

It's time to unleash nick in the midfield. He's had a few small stints in the middle and has looked well and truly at home. I can feel an Anzac medal coming on
Nah I think he nailed it in GAZ jnr. Very very similar game styles. Especially the handball give and run and recieves gaz loved a 1-2. Both are goal kicking mids, once we get him off the hb line that is.

Josh is not exactly stalling either. Going under the radar a bit this year - for obvious reasons. Still feel he’s nowhere near his ceiling. Good times!

Is that a serious comparison for one of the best first year players in the last 20 years?

That hand-pass he did in mid-air towards the end of the game was genuinely hard to comprehend. Freakish, freakish talent.
Yes that was insane. I was watching with my brother and we both just instantly turned and looked at each other in awe. Very Pendles-esque.
The one thing I took out of today, was the passage of play where he intercepted the ball and just exploded through traffic great speed exciting to watch. Of course our forward line dysfunctional as it is had no one leading at him where he could have hit someone lace out.

He’s got more pace than I thought, gonna be a weapon when he plays full time mid.
Nick is deceptively quick - like a sleeper custom car - doesn't look fast but don't give him a step.
