Been occurring since he ever pulled on the boots
It’s a shame and could potentially end his career both mentally and physically
It’s the way society is these days
Nothing but all about stopping Nick no giving any credit how good a player he is
Treatment of Nick Daicos
Moderator: bbmods
This is the one glaring weakness of our football department.
Fly and Wrighty have done so much right but last years onfield and offield vitriolic harassment of Ginnivan was allowed to manifest because of a lack of support from the club. This has now transferred to Daicos and there has been very little public condemnation from anyone at the club about the deliberate and targeted treatment that he has had to deal with.
It’s a very poor look and you can bet your bottom dollar that Chris Scott would have very aggressively squashed any and all questioning of Selwoods ducking and playing for free kicks style that he was renowned for during his career. Scott would have publicly defended his player to the death irrespective of his personal opinion on Selwoods tactics.
The treatment of Nick Daicos has the John Greenings feel about it.
It’s up to the club to stand up and call it out before it gets to something more serious.

it's a fair tactic that's working. Nothing illegal about the play where Nick was injured. Hawks player stopped and braced for contact. He didn't try to hit Nick front on. Was just an unfortunate clash of knees.
Finn McGuiness has tagged and nullified some excellent players over the past 2 years. Everyone knew he was going to play a hard tag on Nick.

Nicky Boy will be fine. Footy's a game where the odd injury like that will always happen. It's ugly timing, but it could've been even worse.
Let's wait to see if this remedies lack of ferocity and self-preservation in the team. Teams like Hawthorn will always sniff that a mile off.

The piss an poop have always been a thug of a team , goes right back to that old fart Kennedy, and his brutal sides. Its how that mob roll. I see the Dawk cheer squad waved their banners like mad, as if they had got a goal, when Nick went down, so that sums up their piss ant fans too. Nick will be fine, but him and Ginni sure get treated by umpires in regards to fairness, totally different to how types like Sellwood were, a protected species.

It’s not just that one incident. It’s the “Nick is fair game and rules don’t apply” treatment he’s copped since Sydney. Blame is squarely on the umps for not blowing the whistle more when they should have.shawthing wrote:100% right.
For goodness sake he got bumped in a contest. What is this football or netball?
Yep one intention only, to hurt him. The Sam Mitchell way. Won them the game but thought the hawks would want to put the unsociable tag behind them with Clarko.
Anyway, all the umps had to do weeks ago was blow the whistle more often and it would have stopped it all. They seem to be on a high after Ginnivan though.
