While there is no official confirmation from Collingwood Football Club or credible media outlets regarding any contract dispute or issue — and Daicos is firmly contracted with the Magpies on a long-term deal through at least the end of 2029 — today’s rumours nonetheless sparked outrage among supporters and pundits.
Fans poured into the iconic ground wearing black and white, chanting their love for the 22-year-old vice-captain and AFL elite midfielder, many demanding clarity after the unfounded social post began trending across platforms.
What We Know
-
Nick Daicos remains contracted to Collingwood under a lucrative, long-term deal through 2029.
-
There is no evidence from credible news outlets that his contract has been “contaminated,” voided, or compromised in any way.
-
Recent news coverage has focused instead on trade speculation — where rival AFL clubs have made enquiries, but there is no official trade nor contract problem.
Fan Reaction
Supporters gathered outside the Melbourne venue, some wearing homemade banners and V-flashing scarves. One fan wrote on social media: “We love you Nick — don’t let rumours ruin what’s been a great career.”
Others expressed frustration at the spread of unverified claims:
“There’s zero basis for this, but look at all the panic it’s caused,” said one Magpies supporter.
“Our best young player deserves respect, not rumours.”
Club Response (So Far)
At this stage the Collingwood Football Club has not issued a statement addressing the “contaminated contract” claim. It’s expected that club officials will release a formal update soon to calm fans and set the record straight.
Takeaway
While today’s buzz echoed through Victoria Park, it remains clear that all official reporting affirms Daicos’ contract situation is stable and intact. Any talk of it being “contaminated” appears to be speculation or satire, rather than verified sports news.
Stay tuned for further official updates as they become available.
