Nick Daicos

[Ginnieboy]

When is he out of contract? Gunna get a good pay increase in his next contract

Doesn’t seem the type to hold his club to ransom, cracking young man who will be greatly rewarded, I think he chooses success over squeezing out every last dollar ala Travis Joke.

 

[Ginnieboy]

He was damaging late, he was not damaging all day long. If you seriously think he was damaging all day long you didn’t watch the game

600 metres gained at 80%, you need to have a little think about what that means.

 

[BigPond101]

He's pretty good but probably already near the peak of his powers. Judd for example was better in his second year and still had another 20 % of improvement in him

 

[Ginnieboy]

To be fair, most of his touches are from kick-ins and follow up possessions from said kick-ins.

All 6 of them?

 

[Lavender Bushranger]

His old man was being touted as the GOAT at the same age, then the injuries robbed us of something special, touch wood it doesn’t happen this time.

His old man was extraordinary.

I was at the final against West Coast at Waverley when he kicked that reverse banana from the pocket to put them in front.

It was virtually in front of me.

Then I was at a game against St Kilda, also at Waverley, when he kicked a genuine bag and manhandled Danny Frawley in one on one contests.

I was only young, but man he was as good as I saw in terms of pure football ability.

 

[Lavender Bushranger]

6 foot is a dwarf now?

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

Haha.

6 foot is the new 5-8.

 

[GoldenMagpie16]

Pony up if you want Nick Dacios in your team. Collingwood expects five first rounders.

What an absolute nuffie statement. In what world is a 20-year-old at the peak of their powers?

 

[biggiemediums]

Haha.

6 foot is the new 5-8.

God damnit. I'm gonna need some lifts.

 

[coylez]

Just WOW. What a player. Will be interesting to see if he moves into the midfield permanently once Pendlebury retires

 

[#23 Hill]

Good pick up. Glad we drafted him.

 

[Lavender Bushranger]

Ok, after carefully reviewing the feedback I've received on this thread, I've decided to concede that he's a very good player.


Carry on..

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Was bloody good today

What did he actually on the game in the first 3 quarters. Did he create or have a hand in the 6 goals up to 3/4 time. Maybe you need to think about it a bit more

 

[LSRU]

His running capacity seems supernatural.
Absolute freak

By your post-to-like ratio, it looks like you need to think about things a bit more before you type. Remember, just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

 

[random260]

Is he still a HBF? Isn't he getting cheapies. Im pretty sure shezzle averaged 30 possessions of HBF

Mate there’s actually a reason you’re on BF crying because a 20 year old carved you to bits - and not reviewing the game behind closed doors with the Essendon football club, do you know what the reason is? I’ll give you a hint, you don’t know much.

 

[JyeDye]

I really really really dislike that he plays for Collingwood. I want to watch him play, but I do not want to watch Collingwood win.

Exactly how I feel about Curnow! Love watching him play, always hope he kicks a bag... but then hope no other Carlton forward kicks any to balance it out.

 

[Reg Grundy35]

Softest marshmallow in the comp

Imagine if JHF squibbed as much as him

well I guess if you prefer hard arse duds to rolls royces good luck to you.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

He’d be hard to tag, he’s very agile and smart.

McGuiness did a decent job in the praccy match in Tassie. I get it was a practice match but it was probably the reason we nearly won. From memory he kept him to under 20. You need an aerobic freak that can go with him everywhere. Pies chose not to play him forward than which would have exposed Finn IMO.

Where am I crying that he carved us. Up till 3/4 tine he had no impact on the game, you are only looking at his possessions like the commentators did all game.

 

[random260]

I can't take nick daicos seriously unless he plays inside mid or mid.

HBF is the easier position. You could put any B grade mid at HBF and they would clean up.

If he can play full time mid and average 36 possession then I'll consider him as good.

If a 18 year old shezzle is averaging 30 possessions off HBF that all you need to know about the legitness of his role

 

[juss]

He's an amazing player.

It's fun to speculate what to do to try and nullify him, I'm yet to see a strong attempt for a hard tag from a full time defensive forward. Teams are so reluctant to employ the full hard tag these days.

He's not noted for his defence, perhaps the only other option is to channel most of the attack through whoever you employ to play the hard tag on him.
