\u2018Why would you say that?\u2019 Daicos \u2018storms out\u2019 amid questions over \u2018unusual\u2019 Magpies function<\/a><\/p>\n“Why would you say that?!” | 00:38<\/p>\n
Twomey said it was \u201cnoteworthy\u201d that clubs were now willing to be \u201calmost brazen\u201d about pursuing high-end rival talent. <\/p>\n
And while a Daicos departure from Collingwood isn\u2019t remotely realistic in the short term, Twomey said the incoming Tasmania Devils would make the father-son dynamo a \u201cnumber-one\u201d priority when he\u2019s free agency eligible in 2029. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s signed through to free agency at Collingwood, but I think Tasmania will make him a number-one priority, and that\u2019ll be a decision for him (to make),\u201d Twomey continued. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s already spoken publicly about this. Even going back to his draft year in 2021, he was weighing up whether to nominate to join Collingwood as a father-son or potentially go into the open draft where Gold Coast \u2014 who had toured him through the facility back then \u2014 had made noises about moving up the draft board to take him at the no.1 pick. <\/p>\n
\u201cAnd if it wasn\u2019t for Josh (already) playing at Collingwood, I think there was a reasonable chance that it would have gone to that stage \u2014 but ultimately, obviously, he signed, and the rest has been history.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Multiple clubs have reportedly reached out directly to Nick Daicos and his management over the past week regarding…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":194794,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[122822,63,689,119468,1135,19120,122825,10133,122823,3499,1127,2105,2485,9130,43,122821,647,7804,77669,122826,44,677,122824,701,672,41,39,42,40,114669,11236,660],"class_list":{"0":"post-194793","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-agency-eligible","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-australia-and-new-zealand","11":"tag-awards-night","12":"tag-cal-twomey","13":"tag-christian-petracca","14":"tag-clubs-reach","15":"tag-collingwood-magpies","16":"tag-competition-view","17":"tag-daniel-pockett","18":"tag-fox-footy","19":"tag-getty-images-inc","20":"tag-gold-coast","21":"tag-gold-coast-suns","22":"tag-headlines","23":"tag-high-end-rival-talent","24":"tag-melbourne","25":"tag-melbourne-demons","26":"tag-multiple-clubs","27":"tag-multiple-clubs-reach","28":"tag-news","29":"tag-oceania","30":"tag-possible-move","31":"tag-queensland","32":"tag-richmond-tigers","33":"tag-top-news","34":"tag-top-stories","35":"tag-topnews","36":"tag-topstories","37":"tag-trade-move","38":"tag-trade-news","39":"tag-victoria"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194793","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=194793"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194793\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/194794"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=194793"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=194793"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=194793"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
