What a set of wheels this guy has! Can't believe how fast he ran down Melksham in the 3rd quarter. Impressive pace.

    He looks very likely...nice build too.....

    Great to see guys like he and Evans coming through creating more pressure for spots!

    Saw that up pretty close and it really impressed me. Think he was flanked by Jones also - looked like they were both out to hunt the young Bomber and get a taste of enemy blood.

    What I loved about him, and Evans for that matter, is that they're not afraid to take the game on with their pace. Nicho especially, a number of times he put on the afterburners through heavy traffic.

    Agree...so good.

    Great to see young kids coming in and backing themselves.

    Nicholson looks a touch classier than Evans for mine, but god Evans worked his butt off. He ran constantly to present and spread.

    Both didn't look at all out of place, and neither did Howe or Gawn to be honest.

    And for Nicho to come on and play so well after being the sub last week and again this week, was a sensational effort.

    I can't believe we got those two as rookies. How did they slip through from the National Draft?

    Evans I know - he barely played the last two seasons due to injury. But god, look at him now!

    He is better then the last Nicholson we had! :P

    Wash your mouth out...

    What is it with the demons and their rookies?

    Don't forget his left boot.....which, like Tom Scully's, will find it's measure against the big boys in 10 or so games. He's got all the tricks this boy, we did VERY VERY well in picking he and Michael Evans up.

    Yep Nicho showed a lot of good poise under pressue and the ability to quickly think his way through something and execute it.

  • Quote

    He is a lot bigger than when I last saw him during preseason. I was very impressed with his intensity and attack (on both ball and player) and he has a physicality like Moloney. I'n not going to make huge statements but he looks so strong. If I compare him to Dunn or Petterd etc... at the least his attack on the contest tonight was very impressive.

    Nicho and Evans have added a touch of pace to the outfit. Nicho is a tad cleaner than Evans, but Evans is more of an in and under player than Nicho. Both have been selected and added something. I looked at our team on paper and thought we might be too green to beat the bombers, but Evans,Nicho, Gawn and Strauss played like they had done it 100 times before.

    The Rookie list has been good for this club.

    The ammos gave us Junior, and now Nicho. A fertile recruiting area which will increase in importance.

    and Leoncelli

    Absolute ripper, speed, composure, takes the game on, not a fearful second gamer thats for sure.

    What is most impressive is that he has had an impact as a sub the past 2 weeks. I can count on one hand the number of subs across the competition which have managed to have an impact after sitting on the pine.

    Reckon he may get a full time gig next week.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
