COLLINGWOOD star Nick Daicos has jumped to the lead in the AFLCA’s Champion Player of the Year Award after picking up a perfect 10 votes against Greater Western Sydney on Friday night.
The Magpies star was one of just three players to get 10 votes from round three, with West Coast’s Jake Waterman and Melbourne’s Kysaiah Pickett also getting a perfect score from the coaches.
Bailey Smith and Finn O’Sullivan got nine votes each in Geelong and North Melbourne’s respective wins, while Fremantle pair Josh Treacy and Caleb Serong (nine each) and Brisbane duo Will Ashcroft and Jarrod Berry (nine each) shared best-on-ground honours for their teams.
Daicos was one of nine players to get at least one vote in the Magpies-Giants game, while eight players polled in the North Melbourne v Essendon match.
Every week, the two senior coaches for each game give votes on a 5-4-3-2-1 basis, meaning 10 votes is the maximum a player can get in each round.
The player with the most votes at the end of the home and away season will win the AFLCA Champion Player of the Year Award.
