Nick Daicos showed no signs of being slowed down by an off-season foot injury, putting any ill effects behind him to dominate in an AAMI Community Series win for Collingwood over Richmond.

Daicos, who saw his summer preparations delayed by plantar fasciitis, was at his scintillating best as the Pies ran up a commanding score against a youthful Tigers outfit to win 21.6 (132) to 6.13 (49) at Ikon Park on Wednesday night.

While the scoreboard didn't flatter Richmond, a baby-faced Tigers side still showed glimpses of promise amid the Collingwood onslaught. In fact, to half-time, Adem Yze's side had more inside 50s and the same amount of scoring shots, yet trailed by 45 points.

It was the lack of forward-half class at one end, and the distinct absence of any senior bodies at the other, that ultimately cost Richmond despite a night of industry and flashes of hope.

Mansell's mesmerising mark sparks life for Tigers

Rhyan Mansell takes a February flight on the shoulders of Dan Houston before converting.

As expected, it was otherwise the club's experienced players that did prove the best contributors with Jacob Hopper (31 disposals, one goal), Kamdyn McIntosh (30 disposals, one goal) and Jayden Short (25 disposals, six marks) all among the side's big ball-winners.

Richmond youngster Jacob Blight competed hard and did some nice things behind the ball. He looks certain to add to his three senior games from last season. Young forward Jacob Bauer, with just seven senior appearances to his name, was also dangerous in attack. He demonstrated a nice leap on several occasions and finished with two goals.

Nick Daicos racked up 32 disposals, eight tackles, six clearances, 11 score involvements and four goal assists for the Magpies while playing in just over a half, giving fans a tantalising taste of his next evolution at AFL level.

Tom Lynch on Fox Footy

Tom Lynch speaks with Nick Dal Santo at the half time break of the Charity Shield match against Collingwood.

Dan Houston (22 disposals, seven marks) was classy in the backline and kicked a long-range bomb, Harry Perryman (20 disposals, one goal) played the whole game as a centre-bounce midfielder and looked accomplished in the role, while Tim Membrey (11 disposals, four goals) was a dangerous presence in attack.

Steele Sidebottom (22 disposals, one goal) played as a purely inside midfielder, starting the majority of centre bounces and proving very influential, while Josh Daicos (27 disposals, seven marks) provided plenty of run from half-back and also impacted on the scoreboard.

Collingwood also found potency from its forward line group as Brody Mihocek, Membrey, Bobby Hill, Dan McStay and Jamie Elliott combined for 16 of the side's 21 goals in a clinically efficient attacking display.
