With the 2026 AFL season entering its final stages, the race for each club's best-and-fairest award is beginning to take shape.
The club champion award is internal recognition of players and their impact across a season.
From established superstars chasing another club champion gong to emerging guns pushing their way into contention, we've taken a look at every team and predicted who will win their club's 2026 best-and-fairest.
As well as naming a top-five smoky.
Collingwood
Nick Daicos
It would be impossible to see how the father-son champion wouldn't claim the Pies' Copeland Trophy this year.
One of the shortest-priced favourites for the Brownlow, and Craig McRae has included him in his coach votes almost every week.
The club also changed its voting procedure following last year's shock victor Darcy Cameron, who pipped Daicos in the count.
“We changed the system, we did,” McRae said after the Opening Round win over St Kilda.
“The system was needing to be changed to reward the extreme games. He had an extreme game tonight, didn't he? Forty-odd touches.
“I think Nick's just maturing so much in front of our eyes. He trains harder than anyone else. Same with Josh (Daicos), like Josh had an amazing game."
A top-five fancy is key defender Billy Frampton, who has led the backline in the absence of captain Darcy Moore.
