Pies hold on in King's Birthday thriller against Dees
Collingwood held on for a tense one-point win over Melbourne in an epic finish to their King's Birthday blockbuster as Demons stars Max Gawn and Steven May clashed on the final siren. The Magpies led by 20 points in the third quarter but fell behind early in the last term, before Dan McStay kicked the final goal of an 11.6 (72) to 10.11 (71) victory at the MCG. Both sides had further chances to score but Gawn's snap at a boundary throw-in narrowly missed and a set shot by Koltyn Tholstrup fell short as the Demons fell agonisingly short. Melbourne captain Gawn's shanked kick from the back pocket with 30 seconds left fell in the lap of Collingwood's Will Hoskin-Elliott, and the Pies iced the game. Gawn and May were then involved in a heated conversation on the siren, with the captain pushing his teammate away. Almost a year to the day since last season's injury nightmare, Demons star Christian Petracca returned to the same stage with 26 disposals and five clearances. But it was some of Collingwood's stars who shone brightest as the ladder leaders made it five wins on the bounce and improved their record to 11-2 ahead of a mid-season bye. Jeremy Howe (26 disposals) was brilliant in defence, Josh Daicos (34) stood up in the middle and McStay kicked two important goals. Pendles' candy 🤝 McCreery's rocket #AFLDeesPies — AFL (@AFL) June 9, 2025 Nick Daicos kicked one goal from 19 disposals as he dealt with a tight tag from rebadged Melbourne winger Ed Langdon. The Demons (5-8) had their chances as Bayley Fritsch and Kysaiah Pickett kicked three goals each. Pickett put Melbourne in front briefly in the final quarter and Clayton Oliver (30 disposals, nine clearances) worked hard. The Demons dominated centre clearances (16-7) and overall clearances (39-29), and had a 54-45 advantage in forward entries, but couldn't make it count. Langdon wore Daicos like a glove from the outset and their tussle was central to multiple spotfires throughout a tight first half. Two Pickett goals bookended three straight Collingwood majors in the second quarter, his first a fortuitous hack off the deck from 45 metres. But the Demons managed just 2.4 for the term - to Collingwood's 4.0 - despite dominating the inside-50 count (21-9). The Magpies, who enjoyed an 18-11 advantage in free kicks in the first half, led by eight points at the main break after Tim Membrey slotted a set shot on the siren. Fritsch twice trimmed the margin to a solitary point with brilliant snaps in the final term, either side of a Nick Daicos goal on the end of a 50m penalty. And Pickett put Melbourne in front with another snap before McStay sent the Magpies ahead for the last time. Collingwood's victory extended their recent dominance of Melbourne to 11 wins in 13 meetings.

'We've been caught up in our love bubble,' Dalins added. 'I haven't even chosen a dress yet … but we can't wait.' Josh Daicos and his model fiancée Annalise Dalins (pictured together) got engaged while holidaying in Greece last year The couple are living at the Collingwood star's parents' house while their own home undergoes renovations Their delay comes as both focus on other commitments. The pair are currently renovating their newly purchased $2million bayside home. They plan to turn it into their 'forever home,' documenting the journey on Instagram. The four-bedroom property, first built in the early 1900s, had been in the same family for over five decades. They plan to restore its heritage character with their own modern touch. 'We are pumped to restore her original bones, and add a little bit of spice,' they posted. Dalins is also juggling a budding television career. She recently joined Channel 9 and YouTube footy program Players and made a striking appearance at Fashion Week. Wearing a Carla Zampatti white outfit styled by Paul Versace, she turned heads at the opening night show in Sydney. 'It's so fun up here. I absolutely love all the beautiful colours,' Dalins said. 'From Melbourne to sit by the Opera House here is really exciting.'

Speaking on Olivia Rogers' Tell Me More podcast, she revealed her estrangement from her father. 'I don't recognise the man he is now – and I actually don't know him,' she said. 'It's basically just a 'Merry Christmas' and 'Happy Birthday' kind of relationship.' The 24-year-old said Josh's family became her anchor during that time. 'They literally took me under their wing like I was their own,' she shared. Josh's parents, Collingwood legend Peter Daicos and wife Colleen, welcomed her into the fold. 'I was really missing the family aspect after my parents separated… so that really saved me,' she said.

She credits the Daicos household for providing her with the stability she needed. 'I know I'm so lucky – a lot of people have tough relationships with their in-laws,' she said. 'But I'm obsessed with mine.' Their romance began during Covid lockdowns with a chat on Instagram. At first, Dalins thought Josh was just a local footy player. She ghosted him after learning he played in the AFL. But fate intervened when they crossed paths at a bar on Chapel Street. 'I realised he was the sweetest man I'd ever met,' she said. 'He 100 per cent is my biggest supporter.' Despite their wedding delay, she's confident in their future.

Footy heartthrob Bailey Smith reveals his stunning act with more than 2000 cans of grog for fans - but it could get him in trouble
Geelong star Bailey Smith is a villain in the eyes of many Western Bulldogs fans following his recent swipe about the club playing in Ballarat - but the Cats midfielder is trying to atone with a bit of help from a huge amount of grog. Smith announced a unique alcohol giveaway for Ballarat locals on his Instagram story on Wednesday night. It involves Barry's Drink, which is backed by Smith alongside Collingwood siblings Nick and Josh Daicos, plus Carlton key forward Charlie Curnow. 'Since I took the p**s, it's only fair to give some back,' Smith posted. 'Just sent 90 slabs down to Ballarat so... Ballarat folk grab a free 4 pack on me until (the) stock is gone.' The location was tagged as the Thirsty Camel bottle shop in Delacombe from Friday at 1pm. The Cats midfielder is looking to atone for the crack he had at Ballarat as he sledged his old Bulldogs club on live television (pictured) On May 3, Geelong recruit Smith came under fire after contrasting the atmosphere of a packed MCG to the Bulldogs' win over Port Adelaide earlier in the day. While Smith played in front of more than 80,000 fans in his team's win over Collingwood, the Bulldogs' clash with the Power featured less than 5000 spectators due to ongoing building works at the Ballarat venue. 'It's beautiful....I'm not getting that at Ballarat,' Smith stated on Fox Footy after Geelong's nail-biting 13.12 (90) to 12.15 (87) triumph. Smith's tongue in cheek comment wasn't well received by Western Bulldogs fans - and captain Marcus Bontempelli didn't miss an opportunity to call out his former teammate this week. 'It is nice to know we are still on Bailey's mind,' Bontempelli told the Seven Network. 'You know, he's still thinking about us... even at another team.' However, Smith could run into a big problem with his attempt to get Ballarat locals back onside. Victoria has strict laws around giving away alcohol, targeting promotions that involve reduced-price alcohol. Guidelines from the Victorian Liquor Commission state 'care should be taken with promotions involving free alcohol', as 'the cheaper the alcohol, the greater the incentive for customers to purchase and consume excessive amounts'. Daily Mail Australia has approached the commission for comment.
