Collingwood Defender Nick Daicos Makes Shocking Promise to Entire Fanbase, Vows to Deliver Premiership Repeat and Cement Magpies Legacy

Melbourne, VIC – In a stunning and passionate declaration that has set the AFL world buzzing, Collingwood’s star defender Nick Daicos has made a powerful promise to the club’s enormous fanbase: he’s not satisfied with just one flag — and he’s determined to bring another premiership to the Magpie Army, no matter what it takes.

Speaking to reporters during a mid-week press conference at the AIA Centre, the 21-year-old sensation — widely regarded as one of the most talented young players in the competition — didn’t hold back when asked about his expectations for the 2025 season.

“I don’t just want to win another flag,” Daicos said, eyes locked on the media huddle. “I want to help build a dynasty. I want Collingwood to be the club that dominates this decade. And I promise our fans — we’re not done. We’re coming for another one.”

The statement quickly went viral across social media and sports talk shows, with fans and pundits alike applauding Daicos’s drive, confidence, and willingness to shoulder the pressure of leading the AFL’s most famous club into the future.

A Star on the Rise

Daicos had already established himself as a generational talent by his third season in the AFL. Known for his elite foot skills, composure under pressure, and exceptional footy IQ, the youngest son of club legend Peter Daicos has seamlessly transitioned from a silky half-back to an influential midfielder when required.

In 2023, he played a pivotal role in helping Collingwood win its 16th VFL/AFL premiership, delivering a grand final performance full of poise and maturity beyond his years. In 2024, despite battling injury setbacks and relentless opposition attention, he still managed to be among the club’s best and fairest contenders.

“Every setback just fuels me more,” Daicos said. “You learn from every injury, every tough game, every loss. And I’m using all of it to come back stronger.”

The Promise Heard Around the AFL

The headline-grabbing moment came at the tail end of the press conference when Daicos directly addressed Collingwood’s passionate fanbase, making a public pledge that caught even some within the club off guard.

“I want the fans to know — we feel your passion. We hear you. And we carry that with us every time we run onto the G. I promise you, I’ll give everything I’ve got to bring that feeling back again. The flags, the parades, the pride — I want us to feel that every year.”

Fans immediately rallied around the comment, with social media lighting up with hashtags like #DaicosPromise and #BackToBackPies. On Melbourne radio, callers flooded in praising the young star’s commitment and confidence.

“He’s got the heart of a 10-year veteran,” one fan told SEN 1116. “This kid doesn’t just play for Collingwood — he is Collingwood.”

Leadership Beyond His Years

Though not yet part of the official leadership group, Daicos has become a de facto leader through his professionalism, humility, and fierce competitive drive. Teammates often speak about his work ethic behind the scenes — arriving early, staying late, constantly reviewing film, and mentoring younger players.

Coach Craig McRae weighed in on Daicos’s bold promise with admiration.

“Nick’s passion is infectious,” McRae said. “He’s the type of player who doesn’t just want to win — he wants everyone around him to get better. That kind of attitude lifts a whole club.”

The Road to Repeat

Repeating as premiers is one of the hardest feats in modern AFL. With every club studying Collingwood’s playbook, recruiting specifically to counter their style, and lifting their intensity, the Magpies will face enormous pressure in 2025. But Daicos welcomes it.

“We know it won’t be easy. Every team is coming for us. But we love that. We thrive on it,” he said. “We’re not backing down. We’re going to attack the season like we’ve got everything to prove — because we do.”

With a young core, strong leadership, and now the emotional spark of Daicos’s public promise, Collingwood seems poised not just for a strong campaign, but for another run at glory.

And if Nick Daicos has his way — the Magpie Army might be celebrating again come September.
