In Round 6 of the 2026 AFL season, Amiss kicked a career-best five goals against the West Coast Eagles in Western Derby 62. He placed second in the Glendinning–Allan Medal voting with six votes, only behind Jordan Clark, and also broke the club record for marks inside 50, with nine.[19][20] The match saw him poll a perfect 10 coaches' votes.[21] He would kick a further 16 goals across his next six games, including four goals in each of rounds 11 & 12 against St Kilda and Brisbane respectively, to bring his total goals to 30 after Round 12.[22]

In Round 22 against Melbourne at the MCG, Amiss kicked an equal career-high five goals, the second of which being his fiftieth goal for the season, making him the first Docker to have kicked 50 goals since Matthew Pavlich in 2012.[23] He would kick another 5 goals the next week against Adelaide, bringing his total for the year to 58 with one round remaining.[24] Amiss was expected to play in Round 24 against Carlton.[25][26] However, he wasn't selected and was instead managed after a minor ankle injury at training during the week,[27][25] thus finishing the home-and-away season on 58 goals.
