This thread will have 10,000 pages by the end of his career with the constant reactionary takes. Any good game he has: "Daicos is the GOAT see we were right". Any poor game has: "Daicos is literally the worst player in the history of the AFL"

Anyone spotted Nicki Boy since his team stopped feeding him the ball? Noticed he had a kickout that QTR but couldn't see the Gul anywhere after that?
Mate, don't compare a dainty half-back flanker to the true men of the game.

Even when he is out of position

He demands it from absolutely everyone no matter where he is on the field.
I mean on the one hand it makes sense to search for your player who is a really good user of the ball but on the other hand it does feel like his stats are being padded massively by playing in such a way.

Nick's like any top tier player. Limited.
He thrives when the conditions are right, struggles when they aren't.
He's nowhere near GOAT status, but he has plenty of time to amend that.

Poor first effort start of the game, but to his credit he did body line the ball much better than recent weeks
Problem is, if his teammates aren't winning the ball at the stoppage, so his poor defensive efforts are further exposed
Biggest concern, they look for him far too often when he is in a non damaging part of the ground

The bloke's a bit embarrassing. Always looking for a 15 metre chip kick.

Seeing Lachie Neale exert himself into the game that 2nd quarter, few huge clearances, couple of big one on one wins and some elite ball usage... Meanwhile as soon as Nicki's inside mids stopped feeding him the ball he was nowhere to be seen.

14 possies (5 highest in the game so far) yet only 280 metres gained
Really aren’t getting bang for buck per possie

Agree, apparently the best ball user.
The best ball users look inside first and take some risk
280 metres gained is pretty good for half a game of football, but he should be getting those sort of numbers given he is essentially an outside player who gets fed the ball by his teammates who are doing the harder work.

Nicks ball use is elite. Kicks it to a player in a position that he can run straight back past them to receive another handball receive

The value in his possessions is really not there
Collingwood will want this contract off the books soon
