With Marcus Bontempelli and Luke Jackson failing to poll a vote over the weekend, Daicos is now two-and-a-half games clear at the top with seven rounds remaining.
Daicos won the award in 2024 in just his third season in the AFL.
Max Gawn was another player to get a perfect 10 votes from the weekend, moving him up to fifth in the standings, while Jordan Dawson, Jake Stringer, George Hewett and Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera also got 10 votes each.
Will Ashcroft got nine votes from Brisbane's win over Geelong on Thursday night, Brodie Grundy and Charlie Curnow got nine each from Sydney's win over the Western Bulldogs, while Jason Horne-Francis (nine) was voted best on ground in Port Adelaide's win over North Melbourne.
Every week, the two senior coaches for each game give votes on a 5-4-3-2-1 basis, meaning 10 votes is the maximum a player can get in each round.
The player with the most votes at the end of the home and away season will win the AFLCA Champion Player of the Year Award.
