Would he be on a list if he had a different surname? I’m not certain.

I think he would already have been delisted some time ago, and whatever performances he’s putting up now would be occurring in the SANFL or similar, and perhaps teams would be considering him for the MSD.

It's interesting that everyone always talks up Daicos as a good kick, but going by the stats he's actually pretty bad by foot.

Over his career goes at 50% in front of goal, and his kicking efficiency is at 56%, which puts him equal 457th in the AFL for midfielders only. He's well behind many other players who are considered "ball butchers". Is Daicos being good by foot just a myth?

The AFL app has his kicking efficiency at 83% against Carlton. Maybe he listened to your constructive criticism.

Doubt he would have been delisted, plenty have players without surnames have done less and been kept on.
 
Thought he was poor most of the game and moving him off the wing was for WHE was a good move.

But he redeemed himself with some important touches in the last.
 
Really? Geez I thought he was excellent all the time I was watching.

Perhaps I’m a hard marker but I noticed allot of contests he could have approached better. He was good when he had the ball in hand though.

Nope. I never question Josh's attack on the pill. If you refer to the moment in the middle when the ball went over Oliver's head and the two were contesting it, Josh slipped as he pushed off then stood and braced ready to take the pill and Oliver tapped it away and Josh was left standing flat footed. It reminds me of the 2003 GF when R Shaw slipped over when Lynch was chasing him. lost the pill and Lynch kicked a goal out of his arse. Everyone called Shaw a squib and it was a load of bollocks. He didn't jib it. He slipped over.

Poor old Josh.
Kicks 3 goals and all everyone talks about is Nick, (and Darcy’s knee).
Even his last goal, (which was a ripper from 50) it’s all about Nick’s kick to him!

I like that you've called Nick Josh in this post, furthering the confusion :P

The Drovers dog could have kicked that one…

Posting here because Josh is a gun and this thread needs to be bumped as much as possible.

Imagine our side without Josh for a moment. We lose to the Suns. We would have lost several other games this year if he weren't there with his run and his beautiful kicking. He's stepped up and become exactly what I hoped he could become, and I think he still has levels left in him.

Oh and the way he answers questions about his brother must make his mum and dad proud. Nothing but humility and grace, even though Josh deserves every little bit of the spotlight he seems to shy away from.

I see you Josh.

Came to the thread to post something similar. We must encourage his development. It can be hard being a sibling of another player in the same team but they seem to have a great respect for each other.

Josh in his own right is an excellent player. His touches are always so dangerous.

Both super humble, polite lads which is a reflection on their parents. Peter gets half embarrassed when he's interviewed and they bring up his exploits on the field. Which by the way deserve every bit of appreciation possible. Great people all round.
