The simple observation about Nick Daicos is what you would tell your 12 year old son or daughter every week, - do something that is a 'positive' for your TEAM. Nick Daicos's positivity to the team is his greatest asset - pretty simple.

Hoyney mate, don't give me hope. It's been a great year for us bomber fans so far but I won't believe we have really changed until we win a final. Until than I'll keep treating every win as a happy surprise, rather than the expected result, and than milk that happy surprise for all the joy its worth until our next game 😀

People when they realise champion data takes off ratings on turnovers and terrible kicking... Something daicos had in that game that led to multiple crow goals. 30% kicking should tank your rating, its woefully bad for a topline player. His ball use is nowhere near how good it was last year. Nick has to play that role atm because of how many outs they have, but when their midfield comes back in imo he should go back to being a ball use first player.

Amazing how Daicos' ball use has declined has coincided with the amount of injuries to the Collingwood forward line, maybe not having anyone to kick to is the reason for this. The only week it was poor was against the crows and C'wood had to put De Goey forward as they had no one over 6ft to kick to.

The “ball use” statistics are highly flawed. You have to consider that Collingwood haven’t had a tall forward over the past month hence of course there will be more turnovers and a lower % of “effective kicks”. Use the eye test, far more effective. Daicos has missed a few kicks over the past games. So what? Kids a freak. Ranking him 21st on the ground with 10 coaches votes tells you your ranking is flawed.

2 of the top 4 from Sydney, who have there structures solid as a rock week to week. Collingwood is having to shuffle players left right and centre every week. So Nick is learning to adapt to a team that is forever changing. The data is showing that. If Collingwood make the finals from here it will have been a massive achievement given where they find themselves. Let’s not even consider the flag, it would be a bigger miracle than last year. So as a pies fan, best to enjoy watching the master and apprentice as long as it lasts. Nick will be great to watch for many years. It’s a team sport and The Woods future is bright, need to find some big free agents to thicken the soup in next 2 years. That’s reality.
