Nick Daicos has recovered from a shin injury and is set to play for Collingwood against North Melbourne, while the return of Tom Lynch provides a timely boost for Richmond ahead of Dustin Martin’s 300th AFL match. Daicos, who exited Monday’s game against Melbourne due to injury concerns, has been cleared to join his team for Sunday’s match against the Kangaroos after passing a fitness assessment on Friday. Coach Craig McRae confirmed Daicos’ availability, praising his performance during training drills. However, Oleg Markov’s participation is uncertain due to a back issue, with Tew Jiath on standby for a potential debut.
