ADELAIDE captain Jordan Dawson has moved into the lead in the Sharp EIT Solutions AFLCA Champion Player of the Year Award after another impressive performance.
Dawson landed 10 votes after leading the Crows to a 60-point thrashing of Carlton on Saturday.
He finished with 22 disposals, eight tackles, seven marks, six clearances and three goals.
Dawson tops the leaderboard on 38 votes, ahead of Collingwood star Nick Daicos and veteran Steele Sidebottom (34).
He was one of seven players to take home maximum votes in round eight.
Essendon star Zach Merrett, St Kilda midfielder Jack Macrae, Western Bulldogs ruck Tim English, Geelong veteran Patrick Dangerfield, Melbourne captain Max Gawn and Sydney speedster Chad Warner also landed 10 votes.
Josh Battle was awarded nine in Hawthorn’s thrashing of Richmond and Will Ashcroft took home nine in Brisbane’s QClash victory over Gold Coast.
There are now six players tied on 33 votes in equal fourth overall – Andrew Brayshaw, Gawn, Hugh McCluggage, Merrett, Lachie Neale and Bailey Smith.
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 Sharp EIT Solutions AFLCA Champion Player of the Year Award.
