Nick Daicos
An absolute freak of a footballer, Daicos was again Collingwood’s leading star in 2024, winning the AFL Coaches Association Player of the Year and finishing second in the Brownlow on a ridiculous 38 votes – which broke the previous record but didn’t win. Daicos evolved into a full-time midfielder in his third AFL campaign, and it is scary to think what he could become given he has only just turned 22. He is both Collingwood’s present and future, and perhaps the best player in the competition already with a potential decade of domination ahead.
