NIC NAITANUI'S performance against Essendon on Friday night has resulted in him being awarded a maximum 10 votes in the AFLCA Champion Player of the Year award.

Naitanui had 13 possessions and 17 hit-outs to guide West Coast to victory against the Bombers.

Geelong’s Harry Taylor, Collingwood’s Dale Thomas and Brisbane Lion Jared Brennan also scored perfect 10s in their matches.

Brennan’s effort against the Western Bulldogs sees him in equal fifth position on the overall leaderboard with 19 votes.

Brennan’s captain Jonathan Brown is the clear leader of the pack with 27 votes despite failing to poll against the Dogs.

Carlton skipper Chris Judd scored eight votes in his first match of the season, as did teammate Andrew Walker.
