Collingwood ruckman Darcy Cameron has claimed a shock Copeland Trophy as the Magpies’ 2025 best and fairest. “Congratulations to Nick Daicos, who’s now a three-time All-Australian at the age of 22, and came runner-up in the Brownlow again,” he said. That’s cheeky Fly coming out!”However, it turned out that the Magpies themselves only saw Daicos as their second-best player in 2025. For the record, Cameron finished the year with four 16-disposal games to Daicos’ 0 – so maybe McRae was right. The Pies adjudge their best and fairest by asking McRae and four assistant coaches to vote on every player after matches from 0-4.
