Player Watch Nick (AFL MVP) Daicos

[Pistol Night]

Next minute - Jon Ralph reports Daicos to Tassie is at fever pitch

Tassie should worry about getting the Stadium Built before getting Players

Would be weird to see your captain leave.

Weird for us. Standard for shit teams like Essendon, North, WC etc

Can never say never

Btw Connors must be worth multi millions surely…

Out of interest, what would Nick be worth in a trade? 10 first rounders?

Well if they were taking 3 for shit arse Zak Merrett, Nick is worth 5 minimum

The whole first round.

Fought in Thailand boxing recently. And won. Of course.

Kappa is going to come in here soon and start talking about how selfish it was for Nick to play the prelim with these injuries, as if there was ever any chance we'd win the game had Daicos not played.

This was so bad it would've killed mere mortal men.

I’m definitely not going scorched earth on it like Kappa is prone to, but it makes me wonder how we entered the biggest game of our year having played 1 match in like 28 days with a quarter of our team injured? I mean losing the best player in the league to a PCL during the bye week is a crazy thought.

Hell to even get as close as we did to a rampaging Brisbane given the comparative health and list strength of both teams is frankly staggering. The SS team has got a lot right under Fly, but they would have reviewed the back end prep hard this off-season.

I was a fan of the resting/managing strategy during the year but it seems like we just cost ourselves points for no real tangible benefit in the end.

That’s certainly how it felt in the moment and upon reflection. I doubt it’s as straightforward as choosing a different strategy unlocking the path to glory, but perhaps there’s something to be said for being battle hardened in the build up. I’m obviously spitballing too because I’ve got NFI about this stuff and even if I did how could you know from the outside?

Was hoping that last year was going to be the year that Nick ripped the finals apart, but given this news, no surprise that he was just serviceable. Bit like in 23, came off a serious injury but played his part and even got votes in the Norm Smith medal.

Love to see Nick in finals in full flight.

Too good not to post
