^Now that's a superb interview both. Bucks, that's you at your best digging into the psychology and empathising from your shared footy experience, but also now as a dad.

The Age: Collingwood d Adelaide
by Marc McGowan. June 26, 2023 — 9.55am
Nick Daicos is firming to win this year’s Brownlow Medal, especially with early season contenders Jordan De Goey and Clayton Oliver missing so many games. Zak Butters, Tim Taranto, Marcus Bontempelli and possibly Christian Petracca loom as the star Pie’s biggest dangers, but his consistently great games for the AFL’s first-placed team means he is a deserved favourite.
More impressively, the incomparable 20-year-old racked up his 37 disposals against the Crows as a midfielder, silencing anyone questioning his ability to win his own ball. Daicos, in his coach’s words, is simply remarkable, and we are witnessing someone who might end up as an all-time great.

^ David King on AFL 360 tonight declared that he will be the equal of or above Judd and possibly the best mid of this century so far 😳
These sort of accolades are exciting to hear, but they also place a great deal of pressure and expectations on the young man's shoulders.
Then again, he seems to be a very grounded person and I reckon Peter would make sure he didn't take too much notice of all the hype. 😉 |

I’m suspicious that they are setting him up for failure with very high expectations. Look, oldies like me are never going to be convinced that these commentators are honestly going to hope that a Collingwood player will go on to become the best player of his time. Very sceptical about their sudden love affair with Collingwood 🤨 Geez next they will have former Carlscum players like bloody McLure falling in love with Naicos 🙄 Nah, bring on the hatred and the us versus the rest situation. Believe me when I say don’t ever trust anyone who is not a Collingwood person who wants us to win the flag.

Nick is a young man that attracts a lot of admiration and speculation but much of it is repetitive and circuitous.
Let's try and cut through and get to the heart of it.
Firstly 'Son of Daics'.
Secondly the better he gets the harder he works.
Thirdly on field coached by Pendles.
Fourthly coached by Fly.
It's a perfect storm really - he came to the club with all that raw talent, mostly polished by his dad. Now he is building his tank - which is frightening considering how much ground he already covers.
Strength and conditioning can make him an inside mid who can win his own ball AND 3 really quick initial steps gets him clear to dispose of to advantage. If he gets a clear run he could re write some records.
He's not a seagull and he never spectates - he's a constant motion machine. Fly has already as much as admitted they have a number of strategies to get him loosened from a tag - not that he's in anyway easy to tag in the first place.
I stood at the fence on the wing at Vic Park and watched his old man week after destroy every opponent when he was in the pivot.
At this stage Nick is better than his old man.
The true football experts (the coaching staff of every team) understand the true impact he can have in a year or two.
Tally Ho chaps! |

In his 1st season he benched 80kg.
This year, post hitting the tin in the pre-season with IQ, he's now benching 120kg.
