It's okay David, we're prepared to be over-excited

But.......Nick Daicos.....his dad played... for the Pies.....

 

[Swallow_Wood]

Yeah, he's pretty good.

His intensity and repeat efforts are off the charts and physically he as every attribute needed.

Best I’ve seen him look at the club. He was very good without doing anything spectacular.

It’s unbelievable to think he’s only 18.

It makes me wonder how much improvement he has.

He only played a qtr in the match sim a fortnight ago and probably had 7 touches and 2 GA's in the qtr he played. He was awesome across half forward.

Today was a bit ridiculous.

It's not so much the attacking output, possessions and clearances, which were all excellent.

It's the intensity and manic nature he goes and wins the ball when it's in a contested situation or when someones trying to win the ball and he's tackling them. It's an intensity I cant quite put my finder on. Kind of like a 16 year old player with u/12's thats just going 30% harder at the ball at all times.

With his hair flying around also, he just looks like an utter maniac.

Plus he just knows how to play footy.

It’s like there’s no learning phase. He just knows.

I'm comfortable calling him a generational talent now.


McDonald, Simpkin, LDU, Thomas, Powell, Phillips were nowhere near this good in their first pre-season. Powell and McDonald were probably the best at 18 in that group, but JHF is on a completely different level, he honestly looked a better midfielder than Simpkin and LDU out there today and only second to Thomas who was in Carlton-esque cheat mode form.

The thing is, I actually think he's closer to 18 year old LDU/Simpkin fitness wise than Ryan Bastinac/Ryan Clarke. He has a TON of physical improvement to come.

Can you imagine when he's built like Ruccuito and can play 120 minutes in the midfield? duck me.

Jason will be very well looked after by all sponsors , happy boy means happy in Melbourne

That will be a Demo/Lease for free, then they will give him a new one in a few months.

Nobes, JZ would all be on the same.

Few radio hosts etc get the same deal.

Load up on this bloke for the Norwich Rising Star folks.

I have him into TT for the Brownlow just for the fun of the ride.
I have both of them into North doing damage for the potential retirement.

The days of Jason paying for anything are gone.
