Player Watch Josh Daicos

[Jen2310]

Purely a fantasy related question so delete if not appropriate but what’s his halfback/wing split looking like and has he been taking any kick ins during preseason?

I haven't seen him train on the wing at all. Purely half back. Doesn't mean he wont rotate at some point, but at this point the wingers seem to be crisp, lippa and sidey.

With kick ins, sometimes, but not a great deal.

Yeah fair enough. So he and Houston the main guys back there then?

Yeah, they are using the two as the two good ball users to set up the offence from defence.
We'll get a good idea on wed with kick ins.

He kicked goal of the year in 2020 at the Gabba instead of at a packed MCG due to Melbourne's lockdown. One of the highlights of that year in footy in a season unlike no other.

 

[Rorzza]

How good, oppos can't leave him to do as he wishes, too good!

 

[Brent24]

Would he or Cameron be leading the Copeland? It's wild to me that Nick is the Brownlow favourite.

 

[northcotehead]

Has just produced about 5 consecutive above average shifts at half back. Will probably start getting some extra attention from now, which could be the catalyst for Dan Houston

This dude is elite - give him an inch of space and he cuts the opposition up.

The role changed has been amazing for him, should be in the AA team.

 

[Eric Shin]

I never saw a world where Josh would be a more damaging half-back than Houston, but here we are.

Even after all he's done in his career to date, he's still somewhat underrated. Thank you Peter and Colleen for your beautiful genes!

 

[Rorzza]

BOG in my opinion, oppo's can't let him do as he pleases. Was consistently good all night. Nic's second half of the game was outstanding but the midfield had their colors lowered in the first half.

 

[Kes1984]

Underrated.

 

[mocamagic]

This is the peak of his career now. Been sensational every week. His handling of the wet ball in games against Essendon and Adelaide was as good as I’ve seen.

 

[VinnieB]

He has to have another AA spot this year, at this point of t he season.

 

[gouki88]

AA half back contender if he keeps this up - one of the better flankers (wherever on the field) in the competition

 

[Pistol Night]

Are we a million percent sure Peter hasn’t got another one tucked away we don’t know about?

 

[granniewolf]

I don't think Josh had much left in the tank by the end of the game, he looked absolutely knackered.
Wonder how far he ran during the match.

 

[ClaytonM]

I think Josh has had a better season than his brother to date. Bit harsh on Nick who cops a tag most weeks, but Josh has been consistently very good.

It’s not bad having two who can both be AA playmakers off the half back line

 

[piespremiers26]

Great match.

Well deserved award.

 

[TW Sherrin]

Josh has been our best player this year. I'd have him leading the Copeland. Maybe sidey second.

 

[PiCkLeJuiCe]

108 disposals in his last 3 games against the Dees 34, 40, 34

wow

 

[DaicosDisciple35]

Brownlow Smokey. I have him to win and pies to win the flag at 2.5k odds, feeling good about it.

Could become a 2 x best and fairest winner in a premiership season. Would be interesting to see how many players have achieved this.
