Player Watch Josh Daicos

[The Royal Sampler]

“It’s Daicos...
“To Daicos...
“Back to Daicos... “

To Quaynor, Quaynor, Quaynor! Quaynor!!!

To Quaynor, Quaynor, Quaynor! Quaynor!!!

Both of these sound so much better than "Tyler Brown hands it off to his brother Callum, spins away from one would-be tackler only to be caught by another and ... holding the ball!"

Poor John could do it all - if he had played his full career without serious lingering injuries he would most certainly have been in the top echelon of hall of famers

Greening was sublime, Fabulous Phil was...well...just plain fabulous. The best two pies i ever saw.

Agreed regarding Phil such a criminal shame he wasted his gifts.

Great article on Josh

The son also rises: Josh Daicos' breakout year

Walking in a famous father's footsteps can be hard - until you start to leave an imprint of your own. Josh Daicos is.

I found this passage interesting, ‘After 17 games in three years, Daicos might have wondered and wavered. When it was put to him at the end of last year that his career was slipping by and he might find another club more accommodating’.

One interpretation is that he, like Aish and Shaz, was on the trade table or encouraged to look elsewhere at the end of last year. Don’t recall that speculation at the time.

This kids is a star. Obvious Sidebottom replacement, and will be heaps better. This kid will be that good.

 

[Vicky Park]

One of our best tonight.

Great to see players back themselves in and fight for a position. Bloody glad he stayed.

Never ruffled, lovely evasiveness and skills

 

[bencoop]

Having an unbelievable season and tonight was another great performance. How good is it to have a Daicos flying at the Pies again.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

The ability kick on both feet is something we take for granted. He’s great at it.

 

[Mkcaptain]

Players who can stand up in finals are worth their weight in gold. Daics showed tonight that he can be one of those players.

 

[Soups]

Sign him for life.

 

[Harry O]

Love Josh. Very good debut finals performance

Yep, you wouldn't even know that this was his first final either.

 

[Brent24]

Hand up, I had cal brown ahead of him. But he is going to be something special. I haven't felt this comfortable ball in hand since Pendlebury.

Just quietly, won't give up on c.brown just yet. Has an absolutely elite side step.

 

[robertg22]

In awe of how far he's come this year.

 

[Crazy Tails]

Very good in the heat of his first finals appearance Josh. 17 possessions at 82% efficiency and 4 score involvements =

 

[Vicky Park]

I cant stay away from this thread. I also cant believe how much he's come on in 2020. Sure footed, poised, skilled, creative. His short handpasses out of congestion are like little bullets which always hit their target. And I love seeing the emergence of his distinctive style. Nothing vanilla about young Josh.

That left foot of his looks so much like his old mans did

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

When he wins the ball in traffic he doesnt care if he has to turn left or right.............because he can kick equally well with both feet!!!!

This is inhertited from his old man obviously but is an increasingly rare skill in modern football and an invaluable one, as it gives him an extra second or two to find space, and makes him more unpredictable for defenders trying to corral or tackle him

And when there’s nothing on he‘ll turn and twist and hold the ball longer and look for a down the line get out option.
