Player Watch Nick Daicos

[Kirby]

Some of the things he does are so clean and happen so quickly that I don’t think people realise how good he is

How’s the pickups? His hands are beyond elite.

And the shimmy’s to shake off the chasers?

And the decision making?

He’s A plus talent. Freak!

 

[Chrispiesssss]

He can turn on a coin. Delicious.

 

[76woodenspooners]

AFL app is showing him injured?

But not Reef.

Surely that’s a mistake?

He came off with a minute or 2 left and may have been limping - but he looked fine when interviewed on tv.

He can turn on a coin. Delicious.

And like his old man he is tracking players THROUGH the pack as he's spinning free, always delivers to advantage and always follows up.

He is going to really be some sort of on baller with another couple of pre-seasons.

Copped a knee in the back in a marking contest, standing under the drop of the ball. Free got paid against us as well, because reasons.

 

[Rorzza]

Is going to be a special player for a long time at CFC!

Was Reef wearing 35 last year? May have been the cause of the confusion.

[windchimes]

He is an absolute superstar. His decision making and composed (and damaging) ball use is absolutely incredible for a first year player. Long live the start of the Nick Daicos era.

 

[Harry O]

Imagine how good he might be with 2 full nab league seasons under the belt

 

[Kappa]

How long is he contracted for? Sign him for 7 years, give him Grundy's money idgaf

Don’t think we have worry about either brother going anywhere. We’ll rounded lads.

 

[TradeDraft]

Played against Another Rising Star Hopeful today and Clearly showed who is the Better Player

Four years I think.

There mother wont let them!

 

[jonbe54]

Astonishing numbers in a rookie year on soaking wet field against the highest scragging team in the AFL.

 

[Gone Critical]

BOG. 789m and elite ball use every time. Made so many elite decisions today. Baffling a kid can be so composed. So good to watch. Would have loved that last shot to be a goal. Cant wait til he is playing closer to goal.

No argument but this is his apprenticeship and it is setting him up ideally for the rest of his career. Has been able to watch the ball and play come to him far more often than he would have in the pivot.

You can see incremental improvement with every game - almost every quarter - as that Daicosian football brain stores it all away.

 

[Pistol Night]

Probably says how good this kid is going to be when this sort of game in his first year doesn’t really surprise. Been waiting for it really. Gun

Can we download it and put it in Jordys head too

 

[jimmy35]

And he’s still not the best player in the family.

Surely that’s a mistake?

Mitch Lewis kneed him pretty solidly in the back in a marking contest with a couple of minutes to go.
He gritted his teeth and pushed back into defence, but would have been sore at game end. Was very gutsy and the reflection of someone with a great mental approach.

He was fantastic today. So clean, his decision making good, he runs hard to create space and his ability to gain metreage and retain team possession is already elite.

Dodges opponents like he was posing for a 1970’s Scanlans Footy Card.
