ESPN CONFIRMED: His Efforts and Dedication Have Taken Him to Another Position — Collingwood President Barry Carp Promises to Make Midfielder Nick Daicos the New Team Captain
In a stunning yet well-deserved development, Collingwood Football Club President Barry Carp has officially confirmed that star midfielder Nick Daicos is set to become the new captain of the Magpies.
After months of speculation surrounding the leadership structure at the club, sources close to ESPN have verified that Daicos’s unmatched commitment, professionalism, and on-field brilliance have earned him the honor of leading one of the AFL’s most storied teams.
A Rising Star Becomes a Leader
Nick Daicos, only a few seasons into his AFL career, has already established himself as one of the league’s premier midfielders. Known for his elite ball-handling, game IQ, and relentless work ethic, Daicos has quickly become the heartbeat of Collingwood’s midfield engine.
President Barry Carp, in his official statement, praised Daicos’s maturity and dedication:
> “Nick’s efforts, leadership qualities, and the respect he commands among teammates make this the natural next step in his career. His dedication both on and off the field has set a new standard for what it means to be a Collingwood player.”
Passing the Torch
The announcement comes following the recent internal review of team leadership dynamics, with former captain Darcy Moore reportedly supporting the transition. Moore, who has been instrumental in guiding the Magpies to recent successes, expressed confidence in Daicos’s ability to take the mantle and continue Collingwood’s winning culture.
> “Nick has all the attributes of a great leader — composure, competitiveness, and care for his teammates,” Moore said. “It’s an exciting time for the club.”
A Symbol of the Next Generation
Daicos’s appointment marks a symbolic moment for Collingwood — a club embracing its next generation of stars. The 21-year-old midfielder, drafted under the father-son rule, has already made history with record-breaking disposal numbers and a rising AFL profile.
Under his leadership, the Magpies are expected to continue their pursuit of sustained success, blending youthful energy with the club’s trademark resilience and passion.
Barry Carp concluded the announcement by reaffirming Collingwood’s belief in Daicos’s long-term impact:
> “Nick represents everything this club stands for — hard work, humility, and hunger for greatness. He’s not just the future of Collingwood — he is Collingwood.”
As the AFL world reacts to this major leadership shift, one thing is clear — Nick Daicos’s journey from rising prodigy to club captain is a testament to his drive, dedication, and deep love for the black and white.
