Nick Daicos might just look back on Friday night’s clash with Melbourne as the game that delivered him his first Brownlow Medal as the Collingwood superstar inspired his side to a crushing 46-point victory in a lightning-delayed clash at the MCG.
Players and umpires were forced from the field at the 14-minute mark of the final quarter due to lightning strikes in the vicinity of the stadium and the match didn’t restart for another 36 minutes.
