Famous name no concern for Daicos in AFL

Collingwood great Peter Daicos says pressure to perform can be a good thing for his son Josh, who has been drafted by the Magpies in the AFL.

Collingwood legend Peter Daicos hopes the pressure to live up to the family name will drive his son Josh to great things in the AFL.

The Magpies added to their long list of father-son recruits in Friday's draft, snaffling Josh Daicos and Callum Brown, the son of former captain and premiership player Gavin Brown.

"Pressure's a good thing. It will probably make you work a bit harder to live up to it. I think it can be a good thing if it's used the right way," Peter Daicos said on Monday.
