Nick Daicos is the most overated outside player in the competition,of his 35 possesions 27 were UNCONTESTED! GUY IS A MASSIVE FRAUD! Never ever goes when its his turn and struggles to lay a tackle. Has hardly or never taken a contested mark in his career! FAIRY FLOSS

He's really not 'picket', like it or not the kid is a great player and match winner.

...and as KB used to say, it's hard to tackle when you've got the ball.

    Better than Nick Daicos in two years?

    He’s already taken more contested marks than little Nicky.

    I reckon you're right, Pennant

    The Dominator played for Prahran which was in our zone I believe. Sheedy was another who played for Prahran and we might have knocked him back?

    Later on, we knocked him back as a potential coach?

    I went to a Tom Hafey talk years ago and I think I remember him saying Sheedy had been knocked back after training with Melbourne, Norm Smith thought he was too small and too slow as a centre man. He then came to Richmond and he fitted Hafey’s model perfectly. Hafey was big on fitness and aggression, he spoke highly of how Sheedy set such high training standards. Not often Norm got things wrong like that.

    His Wiki page touches on what you said, EH, and is an interesting read overall as well

    Different times back then but I remember him as a real nasty type who was also a very good player (played 8 times for the Vics)

    As for the Bison, I wouldn't mind it if he turned out to be good as Sheedy (personalities aside)

    Nick Daicos is as close to as I've seen to Gary Ablett Jnr.

    Absolute jet.. anyone who thinks otherwise are delusional.

    Different player to Ablett 'dazz' , but there's no doubt he is an absolute jet.

    In terms of he's simply just too good. He attracts the footy, he runs hard both ways, and it's getting to the point where you physically cannot tag him.

    I hate it because he plays for Collingwood, but he's a genuine superstar.

    I'd love to see teams try to put a bit more physical pressure on him. Nothing untoward just see how he would handle some tough bodywork.

    He cops a fair bit 'Gonzo'...got flattened by a classic rib tickler the other night and got up, dusted himself off and went on his merry way.

    I reckon we made a big error making Langford sub v GWS.If he’d played the whole game, I’m sure we’d have won.

    He had done well in the practice matches, then dominated for Casey the next week after GWS.We should be won 2, lost 4.

    I believe the nickname was the invention of @Supreme_Demon , and popularised amongst the boys by @Ghostwriter ?

    I just thought Harvey Langford was a big strong lad who looked tough and determined.

    The nickname of "The Bison" was only a suggestion. But I am quite pleased that it has caught on. 😊

    In future he will be known as the Mallee bull.

    Definitely think Josh is the more mercurial of the 2. Nick is simply an accumulator.

    Not the player comparison I’d be making. He is v. good but predominately an outside player. Nothing wrong with that but if Collingwood lose the inside game Nick is not going to have an impact which is where Ablett Jnr and others like Bont can have.

    and his opponent stands so he cant easily get on to his left. At the moment he is being treated like a kid playing his first few games.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
