ANALYSIS: AFL Round-Up: Gawn gives Dees new headache as Daicos ascends to new heights
Grundy has shone brightest when the ball has hit the deck and is released into open play, when he is able to play as a massive midfielder, like a modern day Dean Cox.
And right at the heart of everything special about the Magpies is one very gifted teenager, who is quickly exceeding even the loftiest external expectations.Nick Daicos is truly unique. It is exceptionally different to pinpoint another player, past or present, whose style and impact can be considered an accurate comparison.
His poise, vision and creativity set him apart. There are plenty who can accumulate the footy like Daicos, but only a tiny handful who are as committed to making every possession as damaging as possible.He sees kicks others can't, and almost always pulls them off. He knows when to speed the play up and when to maintain control. You feel he could place all 36 players on the field at any given moment in a game, and in an instant can put the pieces of the puzzle together.
That nostalgic feeling was palpable on an evening that proved as much as footy changes year on year, some things will always remain true.Lyon knows how to set up a team defensively. He always has and always will. St Kilda rendered the Western Bulldogs entirely impotent, the same way they had Fremantle last week.
