SYDNEY star Isaac Heeney has extended his lead in the race for the AFLCA Champion Player award, while Nick Daicos has moved into the top five after another perfect 10 votes against West Coast on Sunday.

Heeney's lead at the top of the leaderboard was cut to eight votes last week, but the Swans star picked up another eight votes in round nine to move 16 clear of Essendon's Zach Merrett, who did not poll a vote at the weekend.

Daicos was one of four players to get a full 10 votes on the weekend, along with Melbourne's Christian Petracca, Western Bulldogs midfielder Adam Treloar and Adelaide skipper Jordan Dawson.

It's the second week in a row that Daicos has picked up 10 votes.

Port Adelaide pair Jason Horne-Francis and Zak Butters could not be split from the Power's upset win over Geelong, picking up nine votes each.

While Heeney is way out in front, just 12 votes seperate Merrett in second spot from Petracca in eighth.
