Kind of amazing that the same thing happened with Buckley and Pendlebury.
30+ touches again. Can we have him? What a gun.
Anyhow just stopping by to say I think you guys will do some damage in September if you stay fit, you're definitely a smokey. Lots of quality. How far off is Grundy?
As a Tiger I'm supposed to hate you by default but I actually really enjoy watching you these days. I love what Macrae has done with your style, plus there's a few teams I certainly dislike far more than you guys. I think if we played our match again from a few weeks ago you'd knock us off. Elliott didn't play and he always kills us.
Anyway all the best.

You may recall Tigers had a red hot crack at getting Peter Daicos...
From Glenn McFarlane:
They made a play for one of Collingwood’s favourite sons, Peter Daicos, and for a time the star Magpie gave it plenty of consideration.
“That was the period when Collingwood and Richmond were at war, pinching one another’s players,” Daicos recalled. “The money on offer was well above what I was being paid, and although I didn’t really want to leave, I was a bit excited about it and told my father.
“I said: ‘Look, dad, it’s big money.'”
“I will never forget his response.
“He said: ‘Look, your name is with Collingwood, Peter Daicos at Collingwood.'”
“It was sound advice. It doesn’t matter when money is being thrown around; it’s a question of losing your identity by leaving your first club, particularly when you are a well-known player.”
Hopefully this ethos will translate to Nick and Josh!

This is interesting, saying that Nick is No. 1 in the AFL for intercepts between the arcs.
Hoyne also highlights Nick's ability to know where the ball is going before other players.
It's another illustration of Nick's brilliant footy smarts.

When he gets Stronger you think his Kicking would get more Pentration in them but even at the Moment he still hits his Targets

We should count ourselves very lucky Fly is the head coach of Nick and the footy club.
There is talk about managing the expectation of high draft picks. (look at JHF)
Thank god Fly is Nick Daicos' coach, the way he's handled the internal vs external expectation and distinguishing between the 2 since the day Nick has walked in is a masterstroke. There's been no headlines, just enough praise when the time was right in public, nothing over the top etc.
Compare that to what Nathan Buckley said in 2021, proclaiming Nick would've be playing seniors in 2021 if he was on the list. What a way to manage external expectation!

I think the consensus here was in full agreement with Bucks.

Easy Rider and Raging Bull: The different worlds of Daicos and Horne-Francis
When Nick Daicos and Jason Horne-Francis were drafted last November, it seemed apparent that Daicos would be lumbered with the heavier burden.

Don’t be concerned about media narrative.
I think the last 2 weeks have put the rising star completely to bed.
That’s not a very exciting story. 2-3 weeks ago they could throw up Martin, daicos, Newman, JHF, Newcombe, de Koning etc. and each media personality could pick a side. Nick has now destroyed that.
I suspect it stays quiet for a week or two, and then they’ll start talking up nick’s season in correct terms.
$2 is the safest bet of all time.

If you keep rolling out 30 plus possessions a game then you will not only be the rising star but you will come into All Australian conversation.

He'll start copping a defensive forward soon.
That's his role, LINK, and everyone can improve their DE - just bang the ball to a contest

If he’s so loose, who are the players that have torn him apart? I can’t think of one of his opponents that got off the leash.
The closest was that Carlton bloke, is it Owies?, who kicked a couple on him, but they really weren’t from Nick being loose.
There was a play last week, where he was unsighted after the ball was won quickly by Melbourne in the middle. He'd run off his player hoping we'd win the ball.
But, he will learn from that.

Yeah I remember the play. Yes he’ll learn but I’ll back his smarts in the long run.

Did he though? Or did he roll forward to cover as we had no midfield out the back? Ling highlighted it, but I actually think he got it wrong. He did what every other player would do in my opinion…and that wasn’t just leaving his man to get the ball.
