GOLD Coast skipper Noah Anderson and Collingwood star Nick Daicos have taken a share of the lead in the race for the Sharp EIT Solutions AFLCA Champion Player of the Year Award.
Daicos picked up a perfect 10 votes in the Magpies' win over Carlton on Friday night to move to 69 for the season, while Anderson grabbed five votes in his side's win over Essendon to also move to 69 votes.
>> SCROLL DOWN TO SEE ALL THE VOTES
The duo are three clear of Bailey Smith and five ahead of Jordan Dawson.
Daicos was one of seven players to get a perfect 10 votes from the weekend, with Western Bulldogs veteran Tom Liberatore celebrating his 250th game in style with a perfect 10-vote game.
Greater Western Sydney's Finn Callaghan, Brisbane's Zac Bailey, Sydney's Brodie Grundy and Adelaide's Izak Rankine also got 10 votes, while Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera (10) and Max Hall dominated the votes for St Kilda despite its loss to Hawthorn.
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.
