In a bombshell that has rocked the AFL world, sources have revealed that Collingwood’s golden boy Nick Daicos has submitted his resignation letter, signaling a stunning twist in his stellar career.
The 2023 Premiership star, widely regarded as one of the most electrifying players of his generation, is said to have informed club officials late Wednesday evening of his decision to step away from the game—effective immediately.
🚨 “It’s over,” a source close to the club reportedly said. “He handed in the letter quietly. No press conference. No farewell tour. Just… done.”
While the official reason for his shock departure has not yet been disclosed, early speculation points to ongoing physical and mental fatigue, along with possible tensions behind closed doors. Some insiders suggest the decision may be linked to off-field opportunities or a desire to explore life outside football.
Collingwood Football Club has yet to release an official statement, but fan forums and social media platforms have exploded with reactions, ranging from disbelief to heartfelt tributes.
“Nick Daicos walking away from the game? It’s like Buddy Franklin retiring mid-season back in the day. Unreal,” one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
Nick Daicos, 22, had recently extended his contract until 2029 and was considered the cornerstone of Collingwood’s future premiership ambitions. His dazzling performances, leadership, and off-field charisma made him a favorite not just at the club, but across the entire AFL community.
