DOUBLE JOY FOR NICK DAICOS AND COLLINGWOOD FANS: SUPERMAX DEAL AND FIRST CHILD ANNOUNCED
Collingwood supporters are celebrating double triumph as superstar midfielder Nick Daicos revealed two life-changing milestones on January 2, 2026: a landmark Supermax contract extension with the club and the impending arrival of his first child with partner Arlette Amor, due in March. The announcements, made during an intimate Sami ceremony, sparked widespread jubilation among the Magpies faithful, who hailed the news as a testament to Daicos’s commitment both on and off the field.
The Supermax extension secures the 23-year-old’s future at Collingwood, locking in one of the AFL’s most dominant talents long-term. Club officials praised the deal as a reflection of Daicos’s unparalleled value. “Nick embodies the spirit and excellence of our club,” said Collingwood’s CEO, Craig Kelly. “This contract ensures he continues to lead our midfield as we chase further premiership success.”
Daicos’s football pedigree is already legendary. Since debuting in 2022, he has claimed the Rising Star award, a 2023 AFL Premiership, three consecutive All-Australian selections (2023–2025), the 2024 AFL Coaches’ Champion Player award, and the 2025 AFL Players’ MVP (Leigh Matthews Trophy). Appointed vice-captain in 2025, he has emerged as a pivotal leader, building on the legacy of his father, club great Peter Daicos.
Off the field, Daicos spoke warmly of his excitement about starting a family. “Sharing this journey with Arlette is the greatest gift,” he said during the ceremony. “To have the club’s support as we enter this new chapter makes it even more special.”
Collingwood fans took to social media to express their delight, with many describing the news as the “perfect start to 2026.” The dual announcements reinforce Daicos’s status as both a football icon and a beloved figure in the Magpies community, blending professional success with personal joy.
