Pies superstar ruled out of Lions clash
Ed Allan replaced the star midfielder after a calf problem forced a late change, and Brisbane went on to dominate the match.
- Collingwood superstar Nick Daicos was a late withdrawal from Thursday's match against the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba due to a calf injury suffered last week.
- Coach Craig McRae admitted the team hoped Daicos would recover from the corked calf, but he failed to prove his fitness during warm-ups after struggling to run.
- Brisbane dominated the contest, collecting 131 contested possessions to the Magpies' 93 and securing 20 marks inside 50 compared to the visitors' five.
- Edward Allan replaced Daicos in the side as Collingwood faced the 54-point loss already without captain Darcy Moore and veteran Scott Pendlebury.
- The loss jolted Collingwood while victory improved the Brisbane Lions to 2-2, marking Daicos's first missed game since three consecutive absences late in 2023.
