One of the best parts of the 2018 ANZAC day was getting told off!
What would you do if you're standing there on the wing of the MCG with your cousin, waiting for the umpires and holding the match ball? You'd have to start a little bit of handballing wouldn't you?

A little article on Josh just published on the AFL website: https://www.afl.com.au/news/495454/from ... -on-a-wing
It has the bonus of a link to a "top 5" from another Daicos (for both of you who haven't seen these before).

Josh Daicos
Just watched the video on the AFL site of Josh. What an impressive young man he is and how proud must his old man be? Very quickly becoming one of my favourites. Am very much looking forward to watching him and his development as a player and leader.

Yep, his progress in the 2020 season and the magical moments of exquisite skill were a definite highlight for me.Stevo75 wrote:Just watched the video on the AFL site of Josh.

I recall being astonished at seeing the first photos of him at pre-season training because of how much he'd muscled up in the off season. He's obviously prepared to do the hard work and is not taking his genetic blessings for granted. 
A very impressive young man indeed.-

I really think the football department and there lazy approach to recruiting have relied on the father son traditions to gain squad numbers and top players. Thank god he and Moore have come along in their own development. Just hope the brown boys become much more consistent and sharpen up their all round game. Daics mk3 is another recruiters dream. Talk about pot luck.
no second chances

Agreed. You can add Kelly to that mix....simon tonna wrote:I really think the football department and there lazy approach to recruiting have relied on the father son traditions to gain squad numbers and top players.

There are 10 types of people in this world, those that understand binary and those that don't.
Peter Daicos was one of my favorite players at Collingwood, so to see his sons displaying some of the skills that Peter was so consistently brilliant with is very pleasing.
It can't be easy for the Daicos boys growing up in the shadow of their famous father and whilst it is unlikely that the sons will have as much natural ability of their father (Josh doesn't, maybe Nick will ) it is equally pleasing to see that young Josh has worked so hard to make his own way with Collingwood. Josh seems to be a fine young man who has a touch of his old mans skill level but it's a credit to his parents to see his attitude and how hard he is working to achieve his dreams and aspirations at Collingwood. Lets hope his younger brother, who is reportedly more skilled, has the same attitude to working hard to get the most out of his talent.
