COLLINGWOOD father-son recruits Josh Daicos and Callum Brown are conscious of carving their own legacy in black and white as they prepare for the “inevitable” pressure that comes with being the son of a champion player.

Daicos and Brown joined their dads - Magpies greats Peter and Gavin - at the Holden Centre today, alongside fellow new draftees Sam McLarty and Kayle Kirby.

The pair have elected not to wear the jumper numbers of their premiership-winning fathers, with Daicos to wear Gavin Brown’s famous number 26 and Brown to don number 17.

“(The pressure) is the inevitable,” Josh Daicos said.

“I can only play my best football and give it my best crack, and hopefully that warrants the discussion. But it doesn’t really faze me.”

Daicos Senior’s highlights reel is one of the best in the AFL, particularly given his sometimes-flashy ability to generate goals.

But while Magpies fans dream of the heroics, it’s not something that his son is all that familiar with.

“I haven’t (seen many highlights) – Dad doesn’t really talk about his football life,” he said.

“I haven’t watched much of his film – only snippets of his highlights.”

Callum Brown said his father - who works at North Melbourne, which made a bid for the young gun without his father’s knowledge - has been a valuable source of advice.

“I speak to dad quite a bit about footy,” he said.

Keeping with tradition, Sam McLarty will wear 35 next season for @CollingwoodFC

“He’s all about hard work and he was pretty happy for me to create my own legacy and go with my own number.”

Collingwood continued the tradition of giving its top draft pick, Sam McLarty, the number 35 as worn by Peter Daicos and Simon Prestigiacomo.

Prestigiacomo famously declared himself unfit to play in the 2010 drawn Grand Final, with McLarty saying having done some research over the weekend, he is hopeful of living up to the selfless standards associated with the number.
