Player Watch Nick Daicos

[Kappa]

Sorry - I meant the Rising Stars haven't been as great recently. Cripps is a superstar.

Sam Walsh is a superstar.

 

[Kappa]

Cripps signs a long term deal, hits form again. Hmmm…

Was playing injured all last year…

 

[sr36]

Sam Walsh is a superstar.

Yes he is. Surprising number of recent ones though who aren't that good.

 

[Pleasedontfail11]

Yeah, he's a legit chance at finishing top 5 in our B&F in his first season. That's no joke

Agree. Will be top 10 for sure. Top 5 will require a slight improvement although he is close. I feel the Pies dont like to give top 5 finishes to first year players. Although he wont be denied if he starts kicking a few goals along with his current contributions. Pendlebury, Crisp, Mihochek, Lipinski, Adams, J Daicos and IQ are slightly in front imo. He is similar to DeGoey, Noble (feel a little sick), Howe, Ginnivan and Moore.

Since 2010 -
Hannebery - A Grader before injuries
Heppell - A Grader
Talia - Good player, 200 games.
O'Meara - Future star before he destroyed his knee
Taylor - Spud
Hogan - Future superstar before injuries and off-field issues.
Mills - A Grader
McGrath - decent player in a struggling team, still has time.
Stephenson - Spud
Walsh - Superstar
Serong - Looks like a future star
Jackson - Looks like a future star.


I think overall it's a pretty damn good mix, a fair few of them had careers ruined by injury that makes it look not as good.

It's a good group of players, as you'd expect due to the nature of the award. I'm going to ignore the last two because it's too early to tell, but of that list I'd suggest that Walsh looks like exceeding expectations at the time he won the award, Talia probably as well. The rest look like underachieving expectations, although Mills is coming with a rush.

I was taking the piss…………………

 

[VinnieB]

I’d love for him to play that forward of Center role. Similar to what we wanted from Daniel Wells a few years ago. He’s a great kick and can kick goals from 50.

Would you have him and De Goey swapping midfield minutes?

He’ll kick 4 goals in a game.

 

[unplugged]

I'm looking forward to him going into the middle more and getting more of the ball, as we've seen in the NAB League, but we need to be patient. We don't want him to get smashed week in, week out and burn out. That could affect the second half of this year and even next year.

Let's not forget Jack Crisp

What’s the risk?

 

[Magpie_96]

He was still comfortably in our top 5 players last night. He still gets ignored by some teammates in certain situations or gets unlucky from a turnover upfield when he makes good position. Otherwise he is very consistent can’t wait when he goes into midfield.

 

[Pie eyed]

What’s the risk?

Covid?
More risk going to Adelaide.
There they really would murder you and bury the body in the hills.

He like a Leader out there Pointing for Players to move too and talk to Backs

Getting Injured

Isn’t that a risk every game?

 

[TradeDraft]

Isn’t that a risk every game?

Yes but we are Traveling

 

[jmac70]

Yes but we are Traveling

How does that increase his chance of injury?

 

[TradeDraft]

How does that increase his chance of injury?

Just the Long Travel and I think he might need a Rest and this is the Best Chance until the Bye

 

[MyManLynch]

How does that increase his chance of injury?

Haven’t you ever watched Air Crash Investigation?

 

[Doc1763]

How does that increase his chance of injury?

Plane crash

 

[Sea fog]

How does that increase his chance of injury?

Plane crash less risk than car crash but still he'd be in the air longer than on the road.
