Nick Daicos makes Brownlow history with record 47 votes

Nick Daicos won the Brownlow Medal this year, polling 47 votes – the highest total in the 3‑2‑1 voting era and a new record that surpasses Patrick Cripps’s previous mark.

He is the only player ever to earn more than 30 Brownlow votes in three consecutive seasons, and he recorded six straight three‑vote games and a total of 13 three‑vote games in a single year.

Daicos’s influence helped Collingwood climb from second‑last on the ladder in 2021 to a premiership‑winning side in his second AFL season, showing how a standout performer can lift an entire club.

The 23‑year‑old was already hailed as a generational talent before he even entered the AFL, following in the footsteps of his father, Peter Daicos, a Collingwood legend. From his debut, his ability to control the game set him apart from his peers.

His historic Brownlow haul highlights the importance of individual awards in the AFL and demonstrates how exceptional play can directly translate into team success.
