Player Watch Josh Daicos

[Matrix10]

Will win a Norm Smith before his career concludes.

I have him down for 2

We severely lack players in his age/experience bracket.

But the players we have around the 50 career game mark have been of the highest quality this year and are a large part of our resurgence.

Noble
J Daicos
Quaynor
Cameron

All we need is Madge to play one more game and he’ll be a superstar too!

 

[The Royal Sampler]

I reckon his bro being so good motivates him and has reached a new level

One of our best players now

I think he just really enjoys playing with Nick. It helps when the two of them can find each other with the footy anywhere on the field without looking.

Logue and Taranto would help that big problem.

I love watching Josh play the kids class and playing alongside Nick has only helped.

Yes they would…. Lipinski also in that category.

Alternatively we just wait a year or so and mccreery ginnivan N Daicos Henry etc have 40-50 career games up their sleeves and the age gap closes pretty quickly.

Love Josh every bit as much as I do Nick.

He is unfazed by his brothers attention. In fact, it elevates him.

Joshy two year extension.

 

[Dynamics]

Never in doubt.

 

[MooreTreloar]

2 year extension will take him through to FA. Great to get to the extension though.

Well deserved Josh.

 

[FromTheBoundaryLine]

One of our most improved for sure. Has had a standout year so far. Onya Josh.

Joshy two year extension.

Very nice. Glad Fin extended too

 

[Seedsfan]

Yes. He's playing some good footy.

Would have been cut years ago. Being a father son opens doors. While he has done well to take the opportunity that’s another thing

No he would not have been.

I miss the days when people were writing about how Callum Brown was a better player than that loser Josh….

How Cal was preferred over Josh for so long is one of the great selection mysteries.

 

[Cyclops]

Love the fella, has more of his dad about him to my eye, with the effortless baulks and short legs. Hope they both retire as one club players and 6 premierships apiece.

Was never in danger of ever being delisted regardless of surname .

It is in hindsight but the reason Cal was preferred earlier is because he brought the intensity much earlier than Josh.

Because Cal was a far better and more accomplished junior footballer.

Cal was only better than Josh in 2017 and 2019. 2019 was obviously not the year Josh wanted, but I still felt that he was the better prospect. Over the last 3 years the gap between the two has been enormous.

 

[Bianconeri]

Cal started ahead in terms of strength and fitness but I always thought Daicos would be better once he caught up in those departments. Both had good evasion but Daicos showed allot more composure.

Josh has been the far better AFL player not disputing that at all. But as a junior player Cal was far better that’s why he was ratted more

Sure, and I think that may have been the reason for some people preferring him in the first season. But I think people who still rated Cal better in 2019 were sucked into that contested ball obsession.

So did the club. I remember a poster saying he’d talked to Balme after they were both drafted and was surprised to hear that they believed Josh would end up being a much superior finished product.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Josh is a year younger than Cal and will be one career game behind him at the end of the weekend.

It’s an absolute fallacy to assert that brown has kept Daicos out of the team.
