RUCKS Tristan Xerri and Max Gawn have moved into the top three in the race for the Sharp EIT Solutions AFLCA Champion Player of the Year Award, while Geelong recruit Bailey Smith has surged into second spot.
Gawn was one of six players to pick up 10 votes in round 10, having a perfect game against Brisbane at the Gabba to move to 45 for the season.
Xerri picked up nine in North Melbourne’s win over Richmond to take the lead on 48 votes, two clear of Smith, who got nine votes for the Cats against Yartapuulti.
Gold Coast captain Noah Anderson was another big mover in round 10, with his 10 votes against Hawthorn lifting him to sixth spot.
Isaac Heeney, Josh Daicos, Shai Bolton and Bailey Dale were the other players to get 10 votes in round 10.
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.
