AFL COMMUNITY ARE OVERJOY AND ALSO: Excited As Australian Football League CEO Andrew Dillon makes announcements of making Peter Daicos the Senior Coaching S…….see more
In a shock move that has sent tremors of joy throughout the AFL world, Australian Football League CEO Andrew Dillon has today made a groundbreaking announcement: **Peter Daicos** — yes, *THE* Macedonian Marvel — will be appointed as the AFL’s new **Senior Coaching Sorcerer**.
That’s right, not just a coach — a **Coaching Sorcerer**. A title reserved for only the most magical of football minds.
Fans, former players, and confused magicians took to social media immediately, flooding feeds with celebratory memes, throwback highlights, and blurry footage of Daicos kicking impossible goals from the boundary in the 80s while wearing shorts shorter than today’s common sense.
> “This is the best thing to happen to footy since meat pies were legalized at games,” wrote one passionate Collingwood fan, while another added, “I don’t know what a Coaching Sorcerer is, but if it means more Daicos magic, I’m all in.”
### What Is a “Senior Coaching Sorcerer”?
Details are scarce — in fact, Dillon appeared to make up the title on the spot.
> “Look,” said Dillon at a hastily arranged press conference, “we were brainstorming ways to bring more flair and creativity to the game. Someone suggested wizardry. And then someone else said ‘Daicos’. We just combined the two. It felt right.”
Insiders suggest that Peter Daicos will be tasked with traveling to all 18 clubs to “infuse” them with football wisdom, creativity, and possibly enchanted Sherrins. He will also reportedly oversee the introduction of a new AFL program called **”Magic Kicks for Kids”**, which teaches youngsters how to snap goals from 45m out on the boundary line — blindfolded.
### Nick and Josh Daicos React
Sons Nick and Josh Daicos were said to be “partially stunned, partially not surprised.”
> “Dad’s been coaching us at family BBQs for years,” said Nick. “Every time we play backyard footy he insists we use torps from the trampoline.”
> “I saw this coming,” added Josh. “Last week he told me he was working on a five-dimensional game plan based entirely on geometry and vibes.”
### League-Wide Reaction
Clubs across the league responded with a mix of awe and panic.
* **Richmond** offered to immediately enroll Dustin Martin in sorcery school.
* **Fremantle** issued a statement saying, “We’re just happy to be included.”
* **Carlton** demanded to know whether Daicos magic could be bottled and used defensively.
Even non-footy fans weighed in.
> “I don’t know much about AFL,” tweeted one international user, “but appointing a wizard-coach named Peter sounds extremely Australian and I support this energy.”

### What Happens Next?
According to Dillon, Daicos will begin his mystical coaching duties next week, starting with a ceremonial goal from the clouds — to be live-streamed on Kayo and also “beamed telepathically to those who truly believe.”
