That hand-pass he did in mid-air towards the end of the game was genuinely hard to comprehend. Freakish, freakish talent.

I said to my 6-year-old today: Gee he's good, you'll see a lot of him over the next ten years. I don't think he understood, but that's okay.

Showed some toe today, too.

He was one of our best players in the second half, Craig Macrae said on AFL 360 he felt he was as influential as Pendles was through midfield across half back in the last quarter. I can’t believe how composed he is ball in hand in a big game and in his first 6 games he has been very impressive.
I still struggle to comprehend how at home he looks. Plays as if he has 150 under his belt
 
I said the same to my son- a nice little cherry on top. Gee he is a beauty. His decision making makes Sidey look stupid!
I love his passion for the guernsey too-both Daicos boys have it.
Enjoy the next decade+ of those two Macedonian boys!

He's been as good as advertised for sure.

Repeat efforts are a real highlight for me, he always tries to stay involved in the contest and keep the ball moving. He's 3rd in marks so far at the club so far this year (behind Howe & Moore), which shows how hard he works to provide an option. Tackle numbers not huge at this stage but from what I've seen he tackles hard and makes them stick. His pace looks elite which helps him close down guys pretty well.

Wins a good amount of inside ball for a guy of his age/size, plus very good on the outside. Looks at home on the ball, off both HBF & HFF, or on a wing. Looks like the complete package to me!

If he doesn't win the Rising Star I hope that means Ginnivan has kicked 50 goals and snatched it from him ;)

Nick has that deceptive type of pace his running action is low slung and smooth. Looks like he's just cruising along but he certainly covers the ground.
 
I wonder if the club will look to rest him anytime soon. He is the rolls-royce within the club, so we don't want to run him into the ground.
A short turnaround this week before playing the Suns, then two big winnable games against the Tigers and Bulldogs coming up, before a trip to the west.
A managed out this week, maybe?

I'd leave that up to Nick, if he is feeling good no reason to drop him or rest him.

If he's feeling sore/tired give him the week off.
 
Love his mid-air handball and that speed surprised me. If anyone has access to a clip of both, I would love to share it with others when they bang on about Rachele and JHF. 😂

He’s just come off an 11-day break, so I doubt they’d be resting him anytime soon.
