He does, he nails those snaps. So much more exciting to watch than hill. Hopefully he gets some good form going in the wafl then challenges for a spot.Nicoski has amazing goal sense, the amount of goals he kicked off half a step without even time to look at the goals in the last few years.. but I get the feeling his best might be behind him.

Hill is really exciting and really hitting his straps, but a lot of what he does is defensive or so quick (like taps to other players) that it goes unnoticed. Nicoski has been a favourite of mine for years, and not only can he nail great 50m snaps off a step, he can crumb in the goalsquare off our quality tall fwds too. If Nico's body holds up,we'll have two top quality midsize forwards for a little while.
It is difficult to see Lecras, Hill and Nicoski in the same team.
Nicoski is super super fit, so he should have another couple of years left.
When he finishes up will make a great developmental coach, he almost does that already with his mentoring of the younger guys.
He would be a good trade target for a club that needs goals scoring power.
Nico and Hams would immensly improve a Melbourne foward line that only has Howe capable of kicking
a couple of goals.

Why? There are 6 forward positions - those three along with JK and Darling make 5.
That leaves a space for 2 others like a ruck or midfielder to rotate through. (if you assume one forward will be rotating on the bench).
We have played with Sheppard in the forward line instead of Nico - so I don't see the issue.
I certainly see more of a spot in the 22 for Nico than I do for Selwood. Howveer if Nico's injury has cost him a yard of pace - he will be on the scrapheap as well.
Because they are too similar. Granted, Lecras and Hill do more lead-up mark work, but Nicoski is still of the same mould. Your scenario also presumes that we won't have uncovered a viable small forward option (which I admit may be the case). For argument's sake, would you still have all 3 if a Dick/Newman/Hams were good enough for a spot?
I agree with the Selwood comment.

If say Dick was good enough for a spot, it would suggest one of hill, lecras or nicoski weren't.

Deserves a chance to play again before he's taken behind the old white screen. Agree that at his best >>>> hill
