List Mgmt. Nick Daicos

[Go Woods]

Yeah, around early May when he was up on the GC he was having thoughts. But clearly things changed after that. 4 months ago. I don't think he will be second guessing now. Lots of excitement to feel good about.

Like most people, when we all holiday somewhere beautiful (remember those days....) we all dream of, oh we should move here...Nick just had that feeling for a short time no doubt whilst on the ‘Goldy’...Pies bound all along.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

He was probably getting recruited pretty hard by Rowell and Anderson. Not worth the hand-wringing.

TRS get with the program son, now that we have the Pres, Snr coach and two coaching assistants resolved there is only the board shtfight to obsess over - many obviously need something else to freak out over.

 

[Finnishpie]

Sure, but he was still more dual sided than 95% of players throughout history

For the first half of his career he could barely kick on his right. Got better along the way. But I think you're exaggerating.

Would be nice if we could use their rapport and flip it.

It would have been nice if he wavered enough that the club didn’t know going into the 2020 trade period, if they should trade away their 2021 first yet…

Would have been much worse if he decided not to nominate and we gave away the pick. But luckily, he came to his senses and it all worked out.

Now Nick can woo them

 

[Chameleon75]

I hope he takes the no 35, keeps it and makes it his own, not a fan of the number rotating

Hopefully.
He said in his nomination article that while he wants to make his own journey, he also likes the thought of traditon, so fingers crossed. No reason you can't do both.

 

[Jen2310]

Loved what McRae said here. That he plans on having a chat to Nick soon.


NICK DAICOS

“I think expectations can overwhelm people at times. I haven’t spoke to the young lad yet, but I plan to.

“I was fortunate enough to catch up with Chris Connolly and his experience with Jack Watts at Melbourne. Jack Watts was the No. 1 pick and (Connolly’s) comment … was ‘he was coming in to develop and we (gave) him to the least experienced coach’.

“I don’t want to fall into that trap, so maybe the highest pick needs to go to (our) most experienced coach.”

This sort of approach could change a hugely talented young man into a true champion

I think he'll also appreciate the feeling and confidence he has made the right choice in nominating. The coach wanting to get to know him before he is even drafted.

Now that we have already signed Nick Daicos, why don’t we delist him & then take him as a delisted F.A

 

[BEEG]

I'm interested to see what position he plays I'm assuming he will be pretty hard to hold out round 1 if fit.

A tad short for the wing, perhaps back flank with the odd stint on the ball.

Taller than his brother, who is playing wing..

I really want Josh on a flank.

I just think how he moves around packs and how good he is around goal is huge for a team who struggles to kick goals.

Can still have small periods in the midfield.


60% Flank
20% Pocket
20% Mid

Lol in what world is 183cm too short for the wing…?

 

[jonmacTrag]

I prefer taller wingers.

He's around the same height as Sidebottom/phillips.

Its tall enough

I agree that I like him better on a flank. I think he plays the role of high half forward pretty well.

His ability to play that role and Nick coming on to the list is why I’m comfortable with Josh Thomas being moved on.
