Daicos surpassed Patrick Cripps’ previous benchmark of 45 votes, set in 2024.

He polled votes in 18 of 22 matches and was judged best on ground by umpires 13 times.

Bailey Smith finished second with 36 votes, while Marcus Bontempelli placed third with 34.

In his acceptance speech, Daicos said he had journalled for 20 minutes every night since age 16.

"Dad [Peter] has the best work ethic," he said. "Like, he worked his backside off, and he’d come home exhausted, but straight away drop his bags in the kitchen, and [brother] Josh and I would pester him to take us to Greythorn Park [in Balwyn North]."— Nick Daicos, during his acceptance speech at the 2026 Brownlow Medal ceremony
