He is the most popular name in the video game today. He does not like it. He made that clear to Channel 7 limit rider Abbey Holmes who, in the minutes after Friday night’s win, asked the child how he is handling being the centre of attention throughout the nation at such a young age. “I absolutely do not enjoy it, that’s for sure,” Daicos confessed. “I’m off social networks a reasonable bit after video games and I sort of keep away from it (the buzz), so I do not hear a great deal of it.” Nick Daicos spoke with Abbey Holmes after the win.

In damp conditions at the MCG on Friday, the Magpies grit their teeth to declare a 8.15 (63) to 7.7 (49) success in front of 85,241 fans and ruin Richmond coach Damien Hardwick’s 300th video game at the helm. The night was soured by ruckman Darcy Cameron hopping off with a knee injury simply prior to three-quarter time. He will sign up with Mason Cox (haematoma) on the sidelines for a prolonged duration. Collingwood held the Tigers to simply 9 points in the opening 2 quarters – their least expensive half-time rating given that taping 8 points versus GWS in round 19, 2016. Alternative Noah Cumberland stimulated a Tiger revival early in the 3rd quarter, playing a hand in 2 out of 3 objectives as Richmond drew within 3 points, prior to the Magpies raised, then saw out the video game. Richmond lacked hurt trio Dustin Martin, Jayden Short and Jacob Hopper, plus suspended protector Nathan Broad, and lacked their regular punch through the middle. Daicos was at his finest as soon as again for the Magpies.

Tom Mitchell and Josh Daicos were normally trusted while Billy Frampton kept an inefficient Tom Lynch peaceful. Nick Vlastuin marshalled Richmond’s defence while Liam Baker (33 disposals) and Tim Taranto strove and Shai Bolton was tidy in slippery conditions. Richmond left to the ideal start when Lynch brought the ball down amidst 3 protectors and Bolton crumbed the ball, coolly danced through traffic and snapped off the side of his boot. Bolton’s grace showed an uncommon minute of composure for the Tigers, with Collingwood managing the conditions far much better. After Bobby Hill’s early reaction, the Magpies stopped working to make the many of their early supremacy, kicking 6 behinds. Objectives to Brody Mihocek and Ash Johnson either side of quarter-time offered Collingwood the advantage. While they controlled area, Collingwood’s failure to make it rely on the scoreboard kept the door open for a Richmond renewal. Richmond replaced out young high Samson Ryan for Cumberland at half-time and he contributed to Rhyan Mansell and Judson Clarke booting early objectives. When Jack Riewoldt included Richmond’s 3rd in a row, it triggered Collingwood into action, with the Magpies booting the next 4 of the quarter, consisting of a charming vibrating objective from skipper Scott Pendlebury. Collingwood stood up to another late Tiger rise in the last term to preserve their unbeaten start. – With AAP Taylor Adams knocked for diving versus Richmond Taylor Adams knocked for diving versus Richmond
