Do you remember Leon's dreads?

Still can’t believe I am watching Nick and Josh after enjoying Peter’s stellar career.

We are truly blessed.

Hope these boys get on the work bench soon.
Be nice to have another generation in 20yrs from now.

Always a pleasure to hear the Daicos boys speak, humble and open. Legends

I’ve got a Harley feeling I have to say. Who did he follow as a kid?

Geelong wasn't it

On AFL's Gettable segment, Cal Twomey says we have a recruiting secret weapon.
Yes - Nick.
Who wouldn't want to play with him?!

Settle down there junior.
I think he already has a partner…..

Today is the worst I seen him use the Ball

Get real mate.

I don’t think it’s been that bad. The stats look poor but a lot of his kicks are from stoppage today and have happened to land in opposition hands

Turned ball over a Fair Bit

 

[Chrispiesssss]

40 disposals
22 contested possessions
14 clearances
6 tackles

Elite.

Another 3 voter game. 22 contested is insane.

Yep, mostly clearing kicks from the contest. Hit the target for the game winning goal at the end though.

14 clearances but Lyon was too busy crying about kicking efficiency. Weirdly, he never worries about Petracca's kicking efficiency

 

[TradeDraft]

Got lot of the Ball and put in 100%

He Dispoal just not as good as it Normally Does

Lets send him to the 2s so he can have a good hard look at himself

14 clearances. 22 contested.

Third year player btw....... That's scary for the rest of the comp.

For shit and Giggles would be interesting what numbers he would get in the VFL

Yep and this game was more of a Petracca/Oliver game. Lot's of kicking from contests, wasn't missing hit ups. Our lack of targets forward doesn't help with that either.

14 clearances and 40 touches is clearly a BOG performance. Third in a row.

 

[Granit1962]

Naics was again sublime. Could be BOG. Personally, think that he usually finds a way for his possessions to have more of an impact. Still a great game. Tracking to be a GOAT contender.

Anyone else gets 40 they'd be BOG.

Was a excellent game from Nick today and a further evolution to that inside/outside balance.
He was excellent and had he not hurt that ankle (was clearly hampered after and looked to be limping not moving as well), would of been even more impressive.

But I do disagree somewhat in that some of his misses were in play, which is unlike him. Not that it matters when he is doing such a dominant inside game.

Also he wasn't alone out there, I noticed a lot of typically quality ball users from both teams having a few miskicks.

Noticed I think Keays was pushing the ends of the ball in testing its air level before his set shot in the 3rd Q?? got a feeling one of the balls were slightly deflated as he certainly was able to press it in a fair way.

 

[Pistol Night]

22 contested possessions? But all the mouth breathing oppo knobs tell us he only takes kick ins and gets soft handball receives? Confusing

 

[loki04]

He was BOG even with to his standards, down game in terms of KE.

His hands were excellent and his movement in stoppage also first class.
Top 3 imo.
N.Daicos
S.Pendlebury
I.Rankine
Would of had Dawson and J.Daicos 4th and 5th.

 

[HeathySure]

His handballs were elite, his kicking was woeful. It wont happen too much more in his career though. I dont rate it a 3 vote game but we are really judging him on a much much higher level than any other player in the game.

Agree, apart from his last kick which was game winning like usual.
