In a surprising development, Collingwood’s star midfielder, Nick Daicos, has been elevated to vice-captain in just his fourth AFL season. At 22, Daicos has already achieved notable accolades, including two All-Australian selections, a Copeland Trophy, a premiership, and the AFL Coaches MVP Award. He joins the leadership group alongside Brayden Maynard under captain Darcy Moore. Other new members in the leadership group include Dan McStay, Darcy Cameron, and Jamie Elliott. Jeremy Howe steps down after seven seasons in the leadership group. Collingwood Executive General Manager of football, Charlie Gardiner, praised the new leadership team for bringing diverse strengths and experiences. Collingwood is preparing for pre-season matches against the Brisbane Lions and Gold Coast Suns in Queensland, leading up to their season opener against GWS.
