COLLINGWOOD star Nick Daicos has taken another step towards winning the AFL Coaches Association's Champion Player of the Year Award after polling in the loss to Geelong.
Daicos was tagged by Oisin Mullin during the Cats' 25-point win on Thursday night, but still had 35 disposals and nine clearances at the MCG.

He polled five votes to move onto 130 for the season, 24 clear of Western Bulldogs captain Marcus Bontempelli with three rounds remaining.
Cats gun Ollie Dempsey took home 10 votes and Dan McStay earned eight, with Mullin also picking up a vote.
Dempsey's 10-vote game was one of a remarkable eight perfect scores in round 21.
Fremantle's Karl Worner, Sydney star Errol Gulden, Hawthorn co-captain Jai Newcombe, Greater Western Sydney's Lachie Whitfield, Carlton rising star Jagga Smith, Melbourne skipper Max Gawn and Adelaide forward Riley Thilthorpe also earned perfect 10s.
The only game without a perfect 10 was Richmond's win over West Coast, with Tim Taranto and Harley Reid landing nine each.
The votes for the award for the rest of the home and away season will not be released until the announcement of the winner during the AFL Awards night on August 25.
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.
