Player Watch Josh Daicos

PIES CLOSING IN ON DAICOS DEAL

Contract talks have resumed with excellent progress for Josh Daicos for a two-year deal that will see him given a hefty pay-rise if he can hit certain incentives.

Daicos has been one of the finds of the AFL season, going from playing five games last year to seamlessly slot into Steele Sidebottom’s wing position in 17 games leading into Saturday’s final against Geelong.

Those talks are now ticking along after the parties were at one stage keen to see what the CBA looked like next year before progressing on a new deal.

Many players of his ilk are handed contracts with a base element and then incentives but given his slashing form he will back himself to continue hitting those heights next year to earn that big pay rise, freeing up Sidebottom to continue playing all over the ground.

It makes the speculation about salary caps very tough. None of us know how much of a contract is based on incentives and targets. Its easy to say so and so is on $600K, but the reality might be quite different.

If only all our players were willing to make contract negotiations this easy...

Just won GOTY.

Daicos wins GOTY but also apparently had hip surgery yesterday? WTF, what’s with the lack of transparency with the club? Yikes.

 

[Apex36]

Well deserved! Fitting that a Daicos’ first major league accolade is goal of the year!

 

[Crazy Tails]

Fantastic! Keeping the Daicos tradition alive.

On crutches though; hip surgery. There you go.

The club is under no obligation to shout from the rooftops every time a player has minor post season surgery....

 

[manicmagpie]

Can you believe Peter only won GOTY once?

Josh has equaled him already!

 

[jonmacTrag]

And so the new chapter begins . . .

And this affects your life how?

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Great win Josh and very worthy..............however if the other two finallists were the best they could come up with there wasnt really any competition at all!

No such thing as minor surgery at Collingwood, after the lack of transparency with our injuries over the last few years you’d think a casual heads up would be a good idea.

Yeah that surprises me. I assume it was that one at Vic Park v Richmond they just showed on the Brownlow.

Two of his other specials were in finals (WC QF & Ess GF 1990) & obviously didn’t count. Not sure how his one v Bears & Gastev at Carrara didn’t win it though.

Try think of it as a positive. Obviously had some sort of niggle and still had a breakout year. Assuming it's just minor surgery, should go one better next year.

There are such things as minor surgery. Stop being an entitled knob.

Yikes, imagine calling someone a knob for having an opinion on a football forum. Do better.

Definitely, was a clear stand out in 2020. Hopefully can follow up in 2021.

 

[Jen2310]

Players always have some sort of surgery this time of year.

Oh, is a casual heads up going to change the fact he’s had surgery? Get your hand off it, there’s no reason for the club to make any sort of statement unless it’s going to have significant impact on his preseason. Honestly, the sense of entitlement from fans about this stuff is ridiculous.

Except Dale Thomas. He goes on surfing holidays first.

The key word in my sentence you needed to consider is "entitled". If you dont see that then youre being a knob.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Anyway, how good was that goal?

Nice small reward for the Pies this year. May there be many more, Daics.

 

[Nuffsaid]

Great news as we usually get shafted on these awards.
He handles the constant references to his dad so well because he must be absolutely sick of it!
