Player Watch Nick Daicos

[FAIRANDBALANCED]

Not a great username to content ratio. 6 weeks minimum, no way you would risk it.

Maybe not, but I do have a sweet left foot, so I could rename myself Sweetleftfoot2?

It does get a bit tiring with people not understanding the irony in my name and my pic, but hey, ignorance is bliss!!

More like they've already taken so much on it and are set for a loss, so they've got to discourage too much more betting on it.

That's Norm Smith, not Brownlow. If we make the grand final and Nick's in the side I'd say they'd get crunched plenty more yet.

Good point. I'll bet on him even if he isn't named in the side.

Me too.

Just heard an undertaker on Sen say he could fit him in on Thursday

Don't risk him in Final Round

 

[TradeDraft]

I think the time off will probably do him the world of good.He looked pretty banged up even before he got the fracture to his knee.He didn’t look like the player he was prior to the Port Adelaide game.

Didn't he have a Small Injury before his Knee?

The undertaker specialises in the final round Dave.

 

[Pdid]

Only 2 weeks and 2 days post fracture.

The plot thickens.

Lol. I think the injury is massively overblown. He would not be without crutches kicking a footy if it were a serious fracture.

I believe there was a crack, but i do recall Jarrod wade saying that it was minor and they found pretty quickly it didn't been surgery.
I reckon he was going too play QF weekend from the start if it went well

I thought he first damaged his knee playing pt adelaide and it kept getting worse over the following weeks.

 

[manicpie]

Looks like naicos will play in the QF final . Could be our best sub this year

 

[Ironmonger85]

If he plays in QF it should only be as sub in a "break glass if needed" situation.

My god, imagine the roar when he comes on.The MCG would shift off its foundations

 

[YouBeauty]

He'll play week 1. Starting on the ground.

Tibial plateau fractures can be mismanaged and lead to premature arthritis, so they’re definitely serious.

Having said that, full weightbearing and kicking footies (did he actually kick one?) is eyebrow raising for 16 days post-injury to say the least.

Maybe it’s more “stress fracture” than fracture? No depression, no displacement, no involvement of articular surface… trying to think what possible best-case scenario could exist here…

Either way, on the evidence of that photo, I gather Nick (himself) is pushing to play QF regardless of the usual wisdom around fracture healing.

6 weeks might have just been a guide. It can't be fractured if he's jogging. Hopefully he plays in the first final

Is there more than that photo? Or does man holding footy = jogging and kicking?

I can confirm that he not only held the ball, but bounced it.

 

[anshell]

He is a super hero don”t forget,with supernatural healing powers.

That was the fitness test. He's playing against the bombers.

He was on a bike spinning on extremely low resistance. Nothing more. Wouldn’t call that weight bearing.

But his knee was "smashed to smithereens"!

Walking is weightbearing. Walking without a crutch or frame is full weightbearing, i.e. 100% of bodyweight in single limb stance phase.

The only weightbearing Sidey understands is his wallet.

Is there any weight bearing when Nick walks on water?
