Mega Thread Nick Daicos - Can he be the GTWEB? Part 2

[kreuze_missile]

17 of the last 24 posts are from Collingwood supporters

They are at all-time high plague levels.

Chief you need to get this shit under control.

How dare Collingwood supporters post in a thread about..... Nick Daicos!

Pies posters pop in another league based award that Naicos won.

Meanwhile, feline fans isolate good quarters and extrapolate them to BOGs to try and have players to compare to Nick!

Looking forward to the games this weekend. I do think the eventual winner of the GF will come from the Geelong v Hawthorn game. Then again, if NDaicos plays a blinder and Collingwood find some goal kicking form, the way they play (excellent defense and pressure) will have their opponents in their sights. They somehow need to find a way to score more for mine.

Could it be that NDaicos closes the gap on KB starting this weekend?

Advisable, given the current forecast that a Carlton plague is, again, likely to raise its head in October

To be fair to Nick Daicos, in KB'S time there was more space in forward 50 to score goals, nothing against KB of course....still an all time great.

But if people are expecting are Nick Daicos to score as heavily as KB then they should lower their expectations a bit. For me usually if midfielders are averaging a goal per game (or close to it) then they are doing their job in terms of score board pressure/impact and match impact.

No.

Daicos can't kick over someone standing on the mark.

Will never be a decent goal kicker until he learns this basic skill.

A contested mark wouldn't hurt at some stage too.

And rover was a really attacking high goal scoring position. In an era of positional one on ones, the rovers didn't play position and would often separate and effectively become a plus one in the forward half for each team. Still an outstanding goal tally from KB.

Yeah KB liked to kick a goal that's for sure. That 1980 Finals series - 21 goals in 3 games...probably one of the highlights of his great career.

Game on the line, big last quarter required and Nick has 3 handballs for 20m gained.

Just goes missing when needed.

 

[Cherki]

YIKES. Lock the thread mods.

 

[ray_purchase]

Absolute choker.

You would never have seen an actual GOAT like Ablett Jnr do that.

 

[PetterdHoisted]

surprising nobody, Naicos wasn't there when it got hard and counted

he needs to chat with Dusty to learn how to impact when it really counts

Is Martin capable of communicating using language?

 

[boncer34]

It was telling that even the commentators noticed he was hanging out the back of the contest at the ball up at Collingwoods CHF with a minute left.

Pendlebury, someone who you can say has truly been elite, put himself at the rucks feet ready to win the hard ball.

Maybe that's to Nick's detriment, so used to having someone prepared to do the hard yards that sitting at the back looking for a cheap kick has become second nature.

Stand by this.

No Pendlebury to lead him with the game on the line and Nick floundered.

 

[Xtreme]

I am shocked to be sitting here
Dusty's record as the modern day GOAT safe for another decade

Sign language or chopsticks!

 

[SSSSSS]

Good home and away player but not Mr September.

I don't know why but I always got the impression Martin's favourite movie was Big Momma's House 2 and he is only capable of communicating through farts.

Shat the bed bigtime....AGAIN

 

[Mr Meow]

He started really well. But in big finals you need bulls winning the crucial second half contests. And you need your star midfielders to kick goals.

The disappointing last quarter reflected a trend with him fading late in big games over the past couple of seasons.

Pretty much this. When it’s highly contested he isn’t going to bullock his way at the coalface and drag a team on his back like the best of the best.

Were to from here for Collingwood next year ?

Dustin Martin has the vocabulary of an 11 year old

 

[kreuze_missile]

I honestly can’t believe he had 27 touches today.

Had zero impact on the game.

He let's his performances do the talking. That's the best way to prove a point. No need for words.
