Maybe a slight chance of playing round 1 as a player on the bench.
Apparently this Josh kid is playing on Thursday.........I might have to go along and find out why a pick 57 has 13 pages on Bigfooty about him.
That and so I can scream......................Daiiiiiiicooooooooooooos!
Anything is possible. If rookies can debut, there's no reason a late ND pick cant.You're jumping out of your skin CFC! Do you really think Dakes will make his senior debut in 2017? Would be highly unusual for such a low draft pick. Can happen with guys picked in the 30s, but surely its rare for someone taken in the high 50s.
While there is a little bit of hype there I don't think he's going to be anywhere near round 1 selection. People are just getting excited about another Daicos taking the field. By the little footage I have seen I think he was definitely holding back last year so his potential is quite high. Depending on injuries and form he might be in for a shot for selection second half of the year.I think people might be over hyping him

3 of them debuted Round 1!Langdon, Wills, Frost, Crocker, Phillips, Yagmoor, Smith... It's not like we don't have history of late picks debuting 1st year.

Josh Daicos to play first game for Collingwood in preseason opener against Essendon
CHRIS CAVANAGH, Herald Sun

THE wait it over for Collingwood fans with the Daicos name set to be back in black and white for the first time in 8622 days on Thursday night.
Almost 24 years after his father Peter last pulled on the boots at Victoria Park, exciting young forward Josh Daicos will be rolled out in front of fans in the Magpies’ first preseason match against Essendon at Etihad Stadium.
The 18-year-old, who was taken at pick No.57 in last year’s draft, forms part of an inexperienced Collingwood side being given their chance to shine.
Captain Scott Pendlebury, who is being rested for the match, talked down Daicos’ trick bag but conceded fans had been hanging out to see the son-of-a-gun in action.
“He hasn’t showed too many (tricks) yet so he’s keeping them up his sleeve,” Pendlebury said.

“I hadn’t really seen too much of him as a junior. I saw a little bit when he played for Vic Metro and I’m also not old enough to have remembered his dad too well.
“A lot of people who have seen both say there are some similarities there and I’m sure all the Magpie fans are going to love seeing him out there Thursday night.”
The heartwarming stories continue for Collingwood fans with Jamie Elliott, Matthew Scharenberg and Jackson Ramsay all returning from long-term injuries.
Scharenberg and Ramsay both had knee reconstructions last year while Elliott last played against the Bombers in Round 23, 2015 before having back surgery last June.
“It’s going to be great for all football followers to see him back out there because he’s such an exciting talent,” Pendlebury said of Elliott.
“I think everyone had concerns that he wasn’t going to get back and he was pretty nervous at the time. Any time you have to go have back surgery, it’s pretty scary. But it’s been great.

“You can just see the love of football he’s got. He appreciates it that much more now he’s had 12 months out so (I’m) looking forward to him coming back.”
Pendlebury said himself, Ben Reid, Brodie Grundy, Adam Treloar and Taylor Adams all expected to play in the club’s second preseason match against Fremantle on March 4, along with recruit Daniel Wells.
“We’ll all be playing in Perth in a couple of weeks’ time,” he said.

Just spoke to someone that went to the Intra Club game last week.
He was having a chat with Balmy..........they spoke about Browny JNR and Balme said he is a ripper.
He also said that Daicos was better .............the only thing that would stop them making it was application not ability.
