Daicos lit up the AFL in the 1980s, kicking 549 games from 250 games. He was known for producing the spectacular on the field and Daniher is expecting some magic down the slide.

“He played many great games in the cold and wet in the 80s, this is another level, but expecting some magic from you, Daics,” Daniher said in a pre-recorded message.

Daicos, who these days watches sons Nick and Josh light up the MCG, didn’t hesitate in expecting the honour.

“It is an honour. Thank you so much. I am so chuffed to be included. I don’t know too much about the challenge of it but I know it is something that I will always look back on with a lot of fond memories of.

“It is going to be a great experience.

“I didn’t need too much convincing to do it. From afar having watched it over the years, you have nothing but admiration.

“I know it has all been used before, but how can you not get involved and support it?”

The theme this year is iconic Australians and Daicos already has idea locked in that he is “pretty happy” with.

But he did admit to being terrified of taking the icy plunge.

“The more I have thought about it of late, the more it terrifies me,” he said.

“It is one of those things, it is an experience, it is like bungee jumping. A bit terrifying bu thaving said that, it is something that I will enjoy year-on-year after it is well and truly gone.”

Ahead of Big Freeze 11, Neale Daniher will sit down with Hamish McLachlan for a special edition of Unfiltered next Wednesday night.
