COLLINGWOOD'S Bri Davey has been rewarded for her best-on-ground showing the AFLW season opener, picking up a perfect 10 coaches' votes despite her side's loss to Melbourne.
Davey was one of six players to get 10 votes from the opening weekend of games, alongside Richmond's Mon Conti, North Melbourne's Jasmine Garner, Adelaide's Niamh Kelly, Sydney's Ally Morphett and Geelong's Georgie Prespakis.
Davey was the only Magpie to poll on Friday night for her dominant 35-disposal game, with Melbourne's Kate Hore the best of the Demons with seven votes.
Elsewhere, Maddy Prespakis and Bonnie Toogood couldn't be split in Essendon's win over Hawthorn, with both getting nine votes each.
It was a similar story in the final game of the round, with both West Coast's Ella Roberts and Fremantle's Laura Pugh getting nine votes.
