The unique steps “extraordinary” Daicos takes to improve himself

Bolton told SEN Tassie Breakfast:
I’ve never seen someone (kick like him),... but this guy can sort of play a pitching wedge right in the middle of an 18-man zone and land it right in the little hole that they’ve created.

^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.

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

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!

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.
