#7 Josh Daicos

[Uncle Jack]

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?

I rode past the Holden Centre some years back and staff let me hold the 2010 Premiership Cup (have foto somewhere)
That felt smick

A little article on Josh just published on the AFL website: https://www.afl.com.au/news/495454/from-the-shadows-of-the-macedonian-marvel-daicos-rises-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).

I love the way the club brought him thru the system—not rushing him into AFL too quickly

Some one commented on Lynch “ He hasn’t done much in 4 years “ Well my reply to that is they have repeated what they did with Josh and tonight Max starts a journey like Daicos

Josh has not as yet shown that perfect balance at getting to and using the pill like Peter
but be assured he has a balance pretty close and his cool unflustered play is
going to entertain us for the next decade and he will do what dad did
Play in a premiership

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.

It's comforting when he has the ball in hand because you simply know that he is going to dispose off it efficiently.

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.

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.

Let's hope he emulates Gary Ablett Jnr - becomes even better than his old man
