Overall

The son of former Collingwood champion, Peter Daicos, Josh, is also a talented goal sneak.

He has good vision and can move well in front ofย goal in what can often be a crowded forward 50 these days and he is very good by foot. He was held back from Under-18 football until this season, and did not have much exposure early on this year, ย breaking his hand during the season, however, he has improved with every game and his talent is clear to see.

Like his dad, he has a few tricks up his sleeve and he has great speed and agility.

He is set to be drafted by the Magpies under the father-son rule.
