BREAKING NEWS: Annalise Daicos’ Shocking Transformation — From Carlton Blue to Collingwood Black and White After Engagement to Josh Daicos!
In one of the most surprising off-field stories of the year, Australian football fans are buzzing over the dramatic transformation of Annalise Daicos, the fiancée of Collingwood Magpies star Josh Daicos. Once a proud and vocal Carlton supporter, Annalise has officially turned her back on the Blues — and in spectacular fashion. Following her engagement to Josh, she not only declared her loyalty to Collingwood but reportedly destroyed every Carlton-themed design she ever created, replacing them all with the iconic black and white of the Magpies.
The news broke after Annalise posted an emotional — and somewhat fiery — message on social media. In her post, she stated:
“I’ve always been passionate about my team, but love changes everything. I’m officially done with Carlton. From this moment, I bleed black and white. Go Pies forever!”
The announcement sent AFL fans into a frenzy, especially those who remembered how fiercely Annalise used to support Carlton. She had previously designed several home décor pieces, fashion items, and even digital artwork inspired by the club’s navy-blue heritage. According to close friends, her home used to be “a shrine to Carlton,” decorated with framed jerseys, signed posters, and blue accents throughout every room.
But that’s all gone now.
Eyewitnesses and friends claim Annalise went on a “complete rebrand mission” just days after Josh popped the question. “She didn’t just take down the Carlton stuff — she smashed it,” one source said. “She wanted to make a statement. Every bit of blue was replaced with black and white stripes. She even repainted a wall that used to have a Carlton mural on it. It’s like she’s a whole new person.”
Her decision has divided AFL fans. Collingwood supporters have welcomed her with open arms, calling her the “Queen of the Magpies.” Social media pages were flooded with supportive messages from Magpie Nation:
“Welcome to the family, Annalise!”
“Once you go black and white, you never go back.”
“That’s true love — choosing Collingwood over Carlton!”
On the other hand, Carlton fans haven’t taken the news so lightly. Many have expressed disbelief and frustration, feeling betrayed by someone they once considered a loyal Blue. Some even called her switch “the ultimate defection,” while others accused her of abandoning her roots just to please her partner.
One fan wrote:
“She used to say she’d never wear black and white. Guess love really does make people do crazy things.”
Josh Daicos, who recently helped lead Collingwood to a strong start in the new season, has yet to make a formal statement about his fiancée’s passionate transformation, but sources close to the couple say he’s “amused and touched” by her dedication. Josh reportedly joked to teammates that Annalise “is now more Collingwood than he is.”
The couple’s engagement itself has been the talk of the AFL world. Josh proposed during a romantic weekend getaway, with photos showing Annalise’s tearful “yes” moment circulating widely online. Since then, fans have been following every detail of their relationship — but no one expected her to renounce her lifelong team so dramatically.
According to reports, Annalise is even planning to collaborate with Collingwood’s merchandising team on a limited-edition home décor line featuring black-and-white patterns inspired by her new allegiance. She’s also rumored to be attending every home game this season, sitting proudly among Collingwood’s loudest supporters.
Media outlets have already dubbed her “the most loyal convert in AFL history.” Her story has sparked broader debates about the influence of love on sports loyalty — can you really switch teams after a lifetime of devotion?
While opinions remain split, one thing is certain: Annalise Daicos has made her choice loud and clear. She’s a Magpie now, through and through — and she’s not looking back.
As she wrote in her latest post:
“I used to cheer for the Blues, but now my heart beats in black and white. When you love someone, you share their world — and mine just got a lot more Collingwood.”
For Carlton fans, it’s a heartbreak. For Collingwood, it’s a win both on and off the field.
