Daicos family makes history at Collingwood's best and fairest

Collingwood star Nick Daicos has won his first E.W Copeland Trophy.

The prolific midfielder polled 997 votes to win the 2024 best and fairest ahead of Darcy Cameron on 859 with Josh Daicos third on 741.

Jack Crisp (740) and Steele Sidebottom (719) made up the top five.

Daicos' victory is his first in his already stellar career and it makes him the second Daicos to win the award in two years with brother Josh claiming the honour in 2023.

Not only that, Nick joins his father Peter, as previous winners of their club's best and fairest.

It's the first time a father and his two sons have achieved that feat with Peter claiming the honour in 1982.

Other award winners on the night included Joe Richards who was named the Best First Year Player.

Bobby Hill won the Gordon Coventry Award for the leading goal kicker with 30 goals with Steele Sidebottom claiming the Darren Millane Memorial award for best clubman.

New recruit Lachie Shultz was rewarded with the Gavin Brown award for his defensive pressure.
