So Sad…After a heated argument Collingwood football defender has terminated his contract insisting that..

leaving a single stone unturned as the 21-year-old looks to lift his struggling side

out of a four-game losing streak. The Pies’ premiership defence is in tatters

after yet another monumental defeat last weekend, a 66-point loss to Hawthorn.

The reigning premiers sit 13th on the AFL ladder, six points outside the top

eight, and look a shadow of the team that charged to last year’s flag. But despite

last weekend’s flogging, Daicos continues to stand out in a losing side with a goal

and 24 disposals display against the Hawks.

Breust was a key member of Hawthorn’s triple premiership side between 2013 and 2015, and similar to Daicos was a

young star during their brilliant three-peat. And Breust revealed the Pies

youngster was keen to seek out his insight and experience after the game.

The Magpies play cellar dwellers Richmond this weekend before facing second-placed Carlton, leaders Sydney

away, third-placed Brisbane and fellow finals aspirants Melbourne and will need

wins in each match to keep their finals hopes alive. And after the loss to

Hawthorn, Daicos took the hunt for answers into his own hands, seeking out

Hawks veteran Luke Breust after the game for advice.

“I had a really good chat with Nick Daicos there at the end of the game and

he just couldn’t believe how we did it consistently in ‘13, ‘14, ‘15,” Breust told

the ABC. “He’s like, ‘Boy, you’re the hunted’. And that’s the difference.

 

“Being the hunted is hard — we found it difficult at times (in) a couple of our

(premiership) years where you start 4-4 and you really start to second-guess

yourself and the brand of footy you’re playing, opposition start to work you out.

So, you’ve got to continually evolve and try to stay ahead of the competition.”
