Nick Daicos wins the 2024 GB Medal.

[think positive]

Frampton makes sense. We lost 2, Billy came in, and we realised the hole left by Murphy, and immediately our defence improved. I remember post saying that yes, he did deserve his premiership medal.

I also love this count. Bloody confusing the round zero crap! Stupid afl

Not that it was ever in doubt, but this game’s votes mathematically confirm the 2024 Gavin Brown Medal for Nick Daicos – his second in a row!

Great job, David. Awesome effort to tally this up.

N Daicos and Cameron in the top 2 is consistent with what we've all been saying and what most think will happen at the Copeland.

Thanks Jezza!

With first and second wrapped up, there’s a tight battle going on for third between Josh Daicos, Pendlebury and Crisp. Pendles has finished in the top three something like 15 times over the years we’ve been doing this count, so it’d be remarkable if he managed it again!

Congratulations again to Nick Daicos on his second Gavin Brown Medal! I’ll have to check, but I’m pretty sure his 86 votes is the highest tally any player has ever received in this.
