[Leviathan Pie]

Good luck, Nick.

Stay out of the media.

I thought Nick has Handled the Media quite well

 

[Football God]

Loved in the interview on Fox straight after the Draft with the question about wearing no 35. He never mentioned once about his dad, Was only talking about Presti. Never give in to the media.

What a day! All this content. That video on the site.. Amazing!

Nick is home where he belongs.

 

[robertg22]

Seems like a bit of a left field selection here. Does anyone know about this kid, or his family?

Glad it's finally official.

Probably has never seen his dad play.

A Hine special. Biggest roughy since Phil Inn and Shannon Cox...
Daicos is my all time favourite player. As mentioned if Nick is 80% As good as Peter we have an absolute champion. If equal or better then strap in!

Having watched his old man from the get go I'd say - skill wise - he's travelling fractionally better at the comparable stage.

The remainder is up to the coaching and support team and Nick himself.

 

[loki04]

Made me wince lol

Obviously club fed line.

Another interview before the draft and he stated he loved the idea of wearing his dads jumper and would like to continue wearing it.

Mbravo re Nick.. mbravo re Nick.

I will light a candle for you at Red Hill.. and salute to you as I sip on some of Red Hill's finest pinots.

May your cards be live.. and your pots be monsters levendi.

Got a shock to see the great mans bald spot live last night. Maybe should return the mullet and he can use it as a combover.

 

[Mostfamousclub_Pies]

May he be as classy as a Rolex. Very very happy.

 

[Anzacday]

Could be awkward if someone else picks up Chugg.

He’s already a better hand baller than his Dad ever was.

If he gets that good we're looking at top 3 or 5 league wide.

Agreed and he runs just that little bit smoother - not much - but over the course of a game it would make a difference.

are you sure, those handballs to himself were deadly

Has Peter and KB well covered in that regard!

No Big Loss

Unless its north melbourne, given we have pick 2, doubt it.

 

[sr36]

Doubt we'll take him at 2. I think we'll take someone else there and Chugg with our second pick.

 

[Aussie pie]

I am quite fine with the Tradation we have with #35

Sorry to disagree but it’s not a tradition it’s a stupid thing Eddie started for his mate. So many players have missed GFs because of injuries, Eddie just wanted a legacy.

 

[Markfs]

Probably has never seen his dad play.

but he regularly used to go to see presti play...

on a serious note, i would hate to see the relatively new tradition of honouring someone who stepped aside for the good of the team, to be swept aside simply because people want to see the son linked to his father by the jumper number. I'm not even sure I would like to see a change even if I saw Presti make a passionate plea for Nick to keep the number.

 

[Jen2310]

Doubt we'll take him at 2. I think we'll take someone else there and Chugg with our second pick.

Okay. Even with that. Doubt anyone else is interested in him, given nobody looked at him last year either, so think its safe.

 

[LuckyLee]

I don’t see why Nick Daicos should be given the 35 jumper permanently.

Sure, he looks very exciting but has proven nothing yet at AFL level. Who can say with certainty that he’ll even be the better of the two Daicos brothers now on our list?

And also, who would want the pressure of wearing your superstar father’s jumper? That’s a hell of a lot of expectation for a teenager to live up to. The pressure could crush him.
