PORT Adelaide skipper Connor Rozee has moved to the top of the standings in the race for the Sharp EIT Solutions AFLCA Champion Player of the Year Award, while North Melbourne ruck Tristan Xerri has surged to second spot.
Rozee won the Showdown Medal on Saturday night, despite his side's loss to Adelaide, continuing his brilliant form since he shifted to half-back after the first month of the season.
>> SCROLL DOWN TO SEE ALL THE VOTES
The nine votes Rozee picked up on Saturday night has moved him to 40 for the season, while teammate Zak Butters picked up another seven votes to move to 36 (from six games).
There were just four perfect 10-vote games in round nine; Hawthorn midfielder James Worpel, Western Bulldogs veteran Tom Liberatore, Greater Western Sydney forward Jesse Hogan and Xerri.
Xerri's dominance in North's draw against Brisbane on Sunday has moved him to 39 votes for the season, with Crows skipper Jordan Dawson, Geelong midfielder Bailey Smith and Butters rounding out the top five.
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.
