AFL career

Daicos was drafted by Collingwood with pick 57, which was their last pick, in the 2016 national draft under the father–son rule. [3] [8] His father wore the number 35 guernsey, which from 2010 to 2022 was given to the first draft pick every year to wear in their debut season, but Daicos chose to wear number 26 to create his own legacy. [9] He got his first taste of AFL football, playing in the 2017 JLT Community Series, especially impressing against Essendon.

[13] In the 2020 season, Daicos had a breakout year, playing every one of Collingwood's 18 games between the home-and-away season and the finals. [14] At the end of the 2020 season, Daicos was selected for the season's 22under22 team, [15] and he signed on with Collingwood for two more years. [16] During the 2020 Brownlow Medal ceremony, he was awarded the Goal of the Year for his single-handed effort from the boundary in Round 10 to seal a victory against Sydney. [17]
