Nick Daicos: The Weight of Expectation and the Brownlow Medal The 2026 Brownlow Medal was all but guaranteed for a Collingwood player, given the Pies' dominance throughout the season.
And when the votes were counted, it came as no surprise that Nick Daicos emerged victorious with an impressive 47 votes.
Daicos' path to the Brownlow has been marked by near misses in previous seasons, including runner up finishes and third place finishes.
