Bedridden Collingwood star Josh Daicos failed to train on Saturday and pulled out of a Saturday night function alongside brother Nick as Covid and the flu hits the club.
The Magpies have banned players and staff who feel unwell from attending club headquarters after a virus outbreak last year hampered the club for almost a month.
The Daicos brothers are in line to be All-Australians this year and had been booked for a Saturday night function at Bannockburn Railway Hotel, alongside their legendary father Peter.
But just before 1pm on Saturday the pub postponed the show.
“It is with regret we must inform you that Macedonian Marvels ‘An Evening with Peter, Josh & Nick Daicos’ will not be going ahead tonight,” a statement said.
“We have just been informed that both Josh and Nick have fallen ill. On club advice, they are on bed rest in an effort to be fit for Monday.”
But the Magpies confirmed that only Josh was sick.

There appearance at a Saturday night event has been postponed.
Nick Daicos, who is favourite for the Brownlow Medal, trained on Saturday and is in no doubt to take on Melbourne on King’s Birthday.
It’s believed Josh contracted the flu and not Covid. A few Magpies players have had either Covid or the flu recently.
Injured defender Jeremy Howe appeared on AFL360 remotely after testing positive for Covid while coach Craig McRae stayed away last week in the lead-up to round 12.
“We’ve had a bit of virus. I got it last week and it’s just going through the place,” McRae said this week.
“But we’re very strict on your ability to come in with anything so it doesn’t get like last year.
“Nearly the whole club got it for a three-week period, so we’re pretty strict on our protocols right now.
“It’s just the natural course of what’s happening in society and we’ve just got to be diligent.
“You go over to Perth and you catch things on planes. We just make the protocols that if you’ve got anything you’re not coming in the walls, hence why I was away last week.”
