NICK Daicos has surged to the lead in the race for the Sharp EIT Solutions AFLCA Champion Player of the Year Award, with the Collingwood star one of seven players to get a perfect 10 votes in round six.
Daicos led a near clean sweep for the Pies from their win over Brisbane, with brother Josh getting eight votes and Noah Answerth (one) the only Lions player to poll.
>> SCROLL DOWN TO SEE ALL THE VOTES
It has moved Daicos to 29 votes for the season, one clear of Jordan Dawson, Hugh McCluggage and Connor Rozee, with Bailey Smith a further vote behind.
Dawson picked up eight votes to be best on ground in Adelaide's win over Greater Western Sydney on Saturday, while Rozee also grabbed eight in Port Adelaide's win over Sydney, where Zak Butters led the way with 10 votes.
George Hewett, Peter Wright, Nick Vlastuin, Marcus Bontempelli and Shaun Mannagh also picked up 10 votes each, with Wright and Bontempelli doing so in their first games for the season.
Melbourne pair Kozzy Pickett and Max Gawn grabbed nine votes each in the win over Fremantle.
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.
