Floreat Pica, Bitch!
Not so much shameful as poor planning if we want Nick’s F/S’s.
Just like his old man, we have a generational player here and just like his old man he will razzle/dazzle us all for the next decade. Josh won’t be too far behind him btw. They will torment sides for many years together.
His composure under the most intense pressure is a sight to behold. The way Noble and Nick ran the pill out with Demon forwards hot on their tails was simply brilliant. Their composure at such a young age gives me great confidence about our long term future. Josh was fantastic in the last term too. How glorious to see that familiar Daicos move, low to the ground as he turns and prepares to kick deep into the forward line?
I love how he uses his speed to give himself more time to assess his options and make a decision. Such a unique trait in a first year player.
After all the Treloar trade calamity, I reckon I'd lost a little love for this club. This boy is bringing it back. Never seen a first year player so clean and be such a weapon with ball in hand.

Still getting nothing from the media, today was the first real time I heard Garry Lyon single him out and talk about how good he was.
Rowell and the jizz fest we saw in 2020 for the first 6 games, he had 26 touches once and kicked 6 goals 3 bags of 2.
Averaged a mark a game and had more tackles.
Daicos has averaged more disposals, marks, higher disposal efficiency and done it for longer.
Yeah they played different positions but what this kids doing in a winning team is freak worthy instead you'll have David King (yeah I hope you read this) bang on about a 13 possession game from Newcombe because clearly he has money on him.
Daicos dead set should be 1,30 for the Rising Star.

Absolutely agree, Daicos cuts you up a million ways. His vision, deft touch and skills are Uber elite.
Kinda like the fact he’s not getting the recognition, thou handles the spotlight so wouldn’t be an issue
Kid is so good to watch
As a young player you see him have a slow play at the HBF and could be forgiven for thinking he's just going to go long down the line OR believe he'd be due to stuff a kick up and turn it over.
Then he just hits a bloke standing on the boundary by himself 40m away.
I shook my head a couple of times yesterday. Kid is excellent.

Well this post has not aged well…
The bolded aren’t great in just a 5 week block of footy plus no mention of Newcombe

I already trust him the most of perhaps any user on our entire team. His decision-making is excellent.

Ginnivan can get lessons from Daicos. He rarely gets tackled, such is his awareness and agility, but when it's inevitable, he draws a high free kick just about every time.
Nah not really he needs to just keep doing what he's doing but make sure of his opportunities, his game will grow like any kid naturally as he works on it.
He already has the stigma of playing for frees so even if he changed to be more subtle the calls when he is taken high will still be the same.
The die is cast with regards to how he is perceived might as well ride it one now. He'll win some and lose some.
Poor Nick was slung around the neck and spun 720° on the ground by a Ben Brown tackle. Many things I'd get tutored by Nick but not getting tackled

Josh and Nick both have ridiculous agility.
Check out the way Josh changed direction when he had Oliver on his hammer for that last goal to Jamie.
Most players go straight, he went diagonal. It’s an unreal trait they have!

Their lateral speed is just dumb. Once Nick gets strong through the core like Josh is now he will be supremely difficult to tackle
Lol turn it up, in two years time? We are saying that now
That is a bloody big call..... I hope you're right, but you're talking GAJ levels.Great player and so good to see both of the D boys instead of just kicking long to a contest could drop the ball onto the player who was open.
I can see the comparisons to Pendles but ND will be better
