0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:03.880
<v Speaker 1>Boy band five are coming back to Melbourne. They're going

0:00:03.920 --> 0:00:05.720
<v Speaker 1>to join us on the air in minutes here at Nova.

0:00:05.840 --> 0:00:12.039
<v Speaker 1>First though, the winner of the twenty twenty five AFLP

0:00:12.240 --> 0:00:15.360
<v Speaker 1>A Most Valuable Player is Nick Daikos.

0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:20.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm calling back, and that there was Lethally Matthews presenting

0:00:20.480 --> 0:00:23.639
<v Speaker 2>his trophy to our mate Nick Dakos, who joins us.

0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:29.160
<v Speaker 3>Now, Nick, congratulations, Thank you guys, thanks for having me.

0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:32.159
<v Speaker 4>Now, this is the award the players want to win, right,

0:00:33.080 --> 0:00:35.519
<v Speaker 4>It's voted by your peers. So does it come with

0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:37.120
<v Speaker 4>an enormous amount of pride?

0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:39.159
<v Speaker 5>Nick? Oh?

0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:42.880
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, It's very humbling for me. I think, as you said,

0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:46.760
<v Speaker 3>to be voted by the players as the most oval player,

0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:48.640
<v Speaker 3>I mean a lot to me and as a number

0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:50.000
<v Speaker 3>of players that could have won it. So I'm just

0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:53.199
<v Speaker 3>very fortunate that I'm the one that, yeah, ends up

0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:53.840
<v Speaker 3>with the trophy.

0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:56.760
<v Speaker 4>Now you get to vote to did you vote for yourself?

0:00:56.840 --> 0:00:58.520
<v Speaker 4>Are you allowed to vote for yourself? How did you

0:00:58.600 --> 0:00:59.400
<v Speaker 4>vote for your brother?

0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:02.960
<v Speaker 3>You're not allowed to vote for yourself. So you've got

0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:06.119
<v Speaker 3>to vote for players from the opposition from other teams.

0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:08.880
<v Speaker 2>Now you can't exactly go out and get on the

0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:11.560
<v Speaker 2>beers because you've got a September campaign to tackle.

0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:15.240
<v Speaker 5>So was it just a quiet night? Nick? What did

0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:17.240
<v Speaker 5>you do post to celebrate little drive through on the

0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:18.600
<v Speaker 5>way Na?

0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:21.320
<v Speaker 3>Very quiet night. I had my partner I let with

0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:23.560
<v Speaker 3>me the entire night. It was great that she was

0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:26.360
<v Speaker 3>able to come and we had the All Australian at

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:28.640
<v Speaker 3>the end of the night, obviously, which is a huge honor.

0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:31.400
<v Speaker 3>And we're just sort of driving home back to her

0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:33.680
<v Speaker 3>house and just saying how lucky we are and how

0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:35.720
<v Speaker 3>fortunate we are to be in this position so early

0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:38.280
<v Speaker 3>on in our career. We feel like this was our

0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:40.759
<v Speaker 3>this was our fourth night, fourth time going to the night,

0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:43.040
<v Speaker 3>and we're super grateful every year that we get to go.

0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:46.240
<v Speaker 4>You've always have been raised so well.

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:48.320
<v Speaker 5>We'll speaking of which, there was a great clip. I

0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:50.280
<v Speaker 5>know you're in it. You've probably seen it.

0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:52.360
<v Speaker 1>It was floating around on Socials during the week, Nick,

0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:53.840
<v Speaker 1>and it was when you were a kid, and I

0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:56.080
<v Speaker 1>think it was filmed down at like your dad's training session.

0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:57.920
<v Speaker 5>You were like, yeah, you don't want to play footy

0:01:58.000 --> 0:01:58.440
<v Speaker 5>like my dad.

0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:00.920
<v Speaker 1>It was just a really cool moment to see that

0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:03.160
<v Speaker 1>key to have that dream and you just look like

0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:04.559
<v Speaker 1>you're living your best life at the moment.

0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:04.800
<v Speaker 5>Mate.

0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:08.000
<v Speaker 3>No, absolutely, I haven't actually seen that clip, so I'll

0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:10.200
<v Speaker 3>have to try and dig it up. But no, I

0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:11.919
<v Speaker 3>always hold on to that little kid in me and

0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:15.120
<v Speaker 3>how grateful I am to now be living out that

0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:19.600
<v Speaker 3>dream that I've always dreamed of doing. So Yeah, every

0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:21.520
<v Speaker 3>time I play on the weekend or I come into

0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:23.919
<v Speaker 3>the club today for training and I'm around players like

0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:27.280
<v Speaker 3>Scott Penderbury or still By Bottom, it's quite surreal for

0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:29.040
<v Speaker 3>me still and I and I pinched myself and I

0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:31.320
<v Speaker 3>know how grateful I am to be in this position.

0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:34.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, there is another clip that has gone viral, and

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:39.520
<v Speaker 2>that is you in the Adelaide Crows dressing Love presenting

0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:41.760
<v Speaker 2>one of the player's.

<v Speaker 5>Sons with opposition players. Text it's getting it getting a photo.

0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:51.040

<v Speaker 3>them last year in FIGI will both holiday and at

0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:56.640
<v Speaker 3>the end of the season. Now seasons are both finishing

0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:58.640
<v Speaker 3>and in the finals, which is fortunate. We're in there

0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:02.000
<v Speaker 3>this year and he Louis and I go along really well,

0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:05.880

<v Speaker 3>him a little Collingwood jersey for next Thursday night.

0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:12.720
<v Speaker 2>Nick.

0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:15.200
<v Speaker 4>When you were that age, who was the player you

0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:17.720
<v Speaker 4>looked up up to and wanted to be like? Who

0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:19.000
<v Speaker 4>is your hero? Oh?

0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:21.720
<v Speaker 3>There were so many? I mean I'm teammates now its

0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:24.000
<v Speaker 3>Scott Pendlebury and growing up being a Collingwood fan, he

0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:27.959
<v Speaker 3>was one that obviously a Brown loves still real. He

0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:30.959
<v Speaker 3>was another Buddy Franklin. The list goes on. I was

0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:33.799
<v Speaker 3>a real footy fanatic growing up and not just a

0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:35.720
<v Speaker 3>Collingwood fan, just love footy in general.

0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:37.240
<v Speaker 5>So that's well.

0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:39.200
<v Speaker 3>I keep coming back to this sense of gratitude that

0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:40.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm now an AFL player.

0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:43.400
<v Speaker 1>Mate, We're so wrapped for you. Hey, I'm just quickly

0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:47.800

0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:50.480
<v Speaker 1>needed that one, We didn't need that one. We're back

0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:54.400
<v Speaker 1>on track next Thursday, big game against the Crows. How

<v Speaker 3>challenge to go over there and play the latt of Leaders.

0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:03.600
<v Speaker 3>It's been really big all year that you just have

0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:05.880
<v Speaker 3>to qualify for finals. It doesn't matter where you finish,

0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:08.400
<v Speaker 3>you just need to qualify for finals. And we've done

0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:11.320
<v Speaker 3>that now and everyone's sort of using the term that

0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:14.000
<v Speaker 3>it's the new season. We're three wins away from winning

0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:16.000
<v Speaker 3>it all, but we're just focused on next Thursday at

0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:18.400
<v Speaker 3>the moment. So I can't wait to get over to Adelaide.

0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:21.200
