Collingwood superstar Nick Daicos is only getting better with age.
And he's got some new records to prove it.
Despite his Magpies going down by 18 points at the hands of the Western Bulldogs at Marvel Stadium on Friday night, Daicos still dazzled.

The 21-year-old broke three records on Friday night.
He is now the fastest player to record 30+ disposals against all 17 opposition clubs.
Daicos did that in just 59 games.
On a Collingwood front, he now holds the club record for the most clearances in a single game, with 16.
He overcame Nathan Buckley's record of 15 clearances, that was set back in 1998.
On top of that, Daicos also gained the Collingwood record for most contested possessions in a single game, with a whopping 27 to his name.
He beat teammate Steele Sidebottom, who previously held the record with 26 contested touches back in 2018.
Daicos finished the match with 32 disposals and a goal.
But despite Daicos' truly best efforts, his injured side couldn't do enough to overcome the Dogs.
Pies coach Craig McRae wasn't happy with his side's first loss since round two at the hands of the Saints.
"We're not quite hardened enough," McRae admitted post match.
"There's a lot of good going on, but then there's this not quite (being) able to do it for four quarters at the minute for this group."
The Pies have a 6-4-2 record after 12 rounds and sit just inside the eighth with a percentage of 104.6.
They face off against Melbourne in round 13, as part of their Kings birthday clash at the MCG on Monday June 10.
