Collingwood star Josh Daicos admits he could play a role in the midfield tonight.
The Magpies are missing a host of stars including Scott Pendlebury and Darcy Moore which could see him leave defence and help out in the middle if coach Craig “Fly” McRae needs him.
“Fly always talks to me about being there to play some midfield minutes but he usually likes to wait and see how the game goes,” Daicos told Kayo Sports.
Daicos said he backed the side’s younger players to step up and fill the shoes of their absent stars but he is mindful that the Swans aggressive style could hurt the Magpies.
“We played Hawthorn, Geelong and now Sydney tonight – all three teams go from attack to attack, they get the ball and are only thinking about goals,” Daicos told Kayo Sports.
“We are playing arguably the best team in the comp at that forward handball game.”
