NOAH Anderson has reclaimed the lead at the top of the Sharp EIT Solutions AFLCA Champion Player of the Year Award, while teammate Matt Rowell has moved to a tie for third.
Anderson picked up 10 votes from Gold Coast's win over Richmond to move to 93 votes for the season, six clear of Nick Daicos on 87.
>> SCROLL DOWN TO SEE ALL THE VOTES
Rowell picked up eight votes against the Tigers to move to 78 votes, level with Adelaide skipper Jordan Dawson (eight votes in round 21) and Geelong star Bailey Smith (four votes in round 21).
Anderson and Max Holmes were the only two players to get a perfect 10 votes in round 21, with Holmes jumping to 77 votes for the season and a tie for sixth spot.
Sydney ruck Brodie Grundy picked up to another nine votes to join Holmes on 77 for the year. The Swans star has now picked up 64 votes from a possible 80 in his past eight games.
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.
