NEW: Nick Daicos, Patrick Lipinski

Collingwood News Father-son recruit Nick Daicos will make his debut for Collingwood against St Kilda, but Will Hoskin-Elliott and two coaches won't be at Marvel Stadium due to health and safety protocols. New senior coach Craig McRae announced the selection of the No.4 pick from the 2021 NAB AFL Draft and off-season acquisition Patrick Lipinski in front of the entire playing list and football department at the end of Wednesday's main training session at the AIA Centre. Daicos, the son of Collingwood Team of the Century member Peter, has dazzled over the pre-season, first on the track and then in match simulation, before confirming his spot with two strong performances against Hawthorn and Greater Western Sydney. He was Collingwood's best player in the AAMI Community Series, amassing 31 disposals across half-back at Giants Stadium and will play his first game in the famous black and white stripes against the same side his old man debuted against in 1979. The 18-year-old has emerged as one of the favourites for this year's NAB AFL Rising Star Award alongside North Melbourne's prized pick Jason Horne-Francis, who arrived at Arden Street after being taken at pick No.1 last November.
