After being sidelined with injury since early August, Nick Daicos is included in Collingwood's line-up for the grand final qualifier, as GWS prepares to contain the young Magpies star.
abc.net.au/news/afl-collingwood-gws-magpies-giants-nick-daicos/102888148GWS coach Adam Kingsley says the Giants have plans in place to contain Collingwood star Nick Daicos as much as possible in Friday night's preliminary final.He replaces the injured Taylor Adams in the Magpies' squadDaicos will play for the first time in seven weeks since he fractured his knee in the Magpies' round-21 loss to Hawthorn.
He has been named in place of injured on-baller Taylor Adams as the only change to the Magpies' line-up for the clash with the Giants in the grand final qualifier at the MCG. The 20-year-old was enjoying a stellar second season until his injury and was the popular Brownlow Medal favourite. While Daicos has been sidelined since early August, Kingsley does not think he will be rusty upon return.
"The way he plays is really dynamic. He's been training for a little while, so I don't think he'll lose that," Kingsley said on Thursday.When Collingwood belted the Giants by 65 points at the MCG in round nine, Daicos racked up 41 disposals.
