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 of 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,  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.
