Nick Daicos

Please.

There's no way a dwarf won't get worked out.

6 foot is a dwarf now?

As a 5'11 person, I never thought I'd have dwarfism, this sucks.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Best player in the competition alongside Jezza at the moment.

 

[JasRulz63]

He was good for 3 qtrs and sublime in the last. So versatile and skilful, leave him untagged at your peril (or perhaps it won't work anyway). He is the next iteration of the Dustin Martin question - what do you do? What can you do?

I think teams have started working out that you can tag him relatively effectively at times when he plays across half back. It's when he gets switched forward and then works into the midfield that he seems very difficult to match up on and loses his opponent in traffic.

Will be interesting to see what teams start to try to do to slow him down. Getting physical with him seem to work for Brisbane when he was playing HB, got off the chain in the second half up forward though.

 

[Fitzey]

Great player and stands out even more with the fact the pies have no other stand out player.

 

[CrowToon]

Dusty was physically untaggable, Daicos wouldn't be but seems to get protected from the tag via his role and ability to go to any line to good effect. Different challenge to Dusty but intriguing none the less.

To be clear I wasnt suggesting they were the same player, only that there seems to be a player every 5 or so years that just rises above the pack. Dusty, Buddy etc. The question remains the same - whaddaya do?

 

[XhazzafootyX]

Won’t be his last Anzac Day medal that’s for sure!

 

[Rustin Cohle]

His last quarter was outstanding, not worthy of winning the medal though, Moore was better . His impact only came in the last quarter

If the medal was being given based on its stated criteria then McReery would have it locked up.

Moore and JDG beg to differ.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Looooong way to go before any GOAT talk arises, but he has started on fire, can't really recall a player doing what he is in only his 2nd year.

 

[Xtreme]

Softest marshmallow in the comp

Imagine if JHF squibbed as much as him

JHF will finish as the new generation GOAT taking over from Dusty. Daicos will pop up every now and then like Mitch Morton.

Well I think this is the first time I've ever seen a half back doing this sort of damage with the footy. Tagging a midfielder is a craft that's been refined over decades and decades, this is a bit new to footy so I guess coaches are still trying to figure it out.

Freakshow of a player but something irks me when I see him running around with nobody giving two hoots even though he's 10x better than half of them.

 

[Fitzey]

Moore and JDG beg to differ.

Who?

 

[bird_man]

One of those players you will switch on the tv just to watch

Scary how good he's going to be

Daicos was best on ground by the length of the Flemington straight

As others have said, its the fact he can go to other positions and still wreak havoc. He absolutely turned the game in that 4th when he went forward

Wat?

Oh no, it’s ok mate. Go have a lay down

 

[beerbandit]

Please.

Look forward to you ringing SEN tomorrow morning to bag Daicos

 

[damochandler]

No he wasn’t, Moore was. He pretty much kept you in the game. Daicos got 2 important goals in the last but he wasn’t best on ground

 

[bird_man]

Spot on mate

Lets remember how quickly Matthews and GAJ were worked out

Didn't get a kick after their 2nd year

You'll have to change your profile to, you know.

Good player but don't understand why he's not tagged. Is he too quick for someone to sit on him all game?

I don't think they allow that.

 

[My Tilly]

How good is he, never seen anything like it from a second year player.

I still think Judd was like nothing we had ever seen before.
He was dominating in an era where they really tested you out. His shoulders took a hammering but what a player!
