BAILEY Smith has jumped to an eight-vote lead in the race for the Sharp EIT Solutions AFLCA Champion Player of the Year Award, while Caleb Serong has moved into the top five.
Smith's seven votes in Geelong's win over Essendon in round 14 moved him to 66 votes for the season, eight clear of Jordan Dawson and Tristan Xerri on 58.
>> SCROLL DOWN TO SEE ALL THE VOTES
Serong grabbed nine votes in Fremantle's win over North Melbourne to move to 54 for the year, equal fifth with Melbourne skipper Max Gawn. Gold Coast captain Noah Anderson is fourth on 55 votes.
Smith played second fiddle to teammate Max Holmes in the win over the Bombers, with his midfield teammate one of four players to get a perfect 10 votes from the weekend.
Ed Richards, Jarman Impey and Mitch Georgiades also got a perfect 10 votes from their games.
Jesse Hogan (nine) and Aaron Cadman (eight) dominated the votes for Greater Western Sydney, Andrew Brayshaw (eight) polled well for the Dockers alongside Serong, while Adam Cerra and George Hewett got nine votes each for Carlton in its win over West Coast.
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.
