80 in a 6-point away arm-wrestle at the SCG is genuinely decent output from a premium DEF — cleared his 68 BE and delivered when Collingwood needed it in a contest that went to the wire. The scoring works; the ledger doesn't. Cash gen is bleeding at -$2,588/wk and he's dropped from $528k to $460k — holding him is actively draining your upgrade fund. Hold if you own him, but flag for trade this bye window if you need cash to move on a genuine premo.

Josh Daicos described as having poor decision-making and questionable disposals in R7, with one commenter saying "I don't think we are talking enough about how poor Josh Daicos has been this year."
Community Intel· T3
Listed as a top-tier defender option just outside the top 4, with one user considering trading him in for Blakiston this week.
Role Change· T3
Flagged as potentially losing role when Moore and Howe return — one of Daicos or Houston expected to be squeezed by the Pies' depth restoration.
