PORT Adelaide's Zak Butters and Collingwood's Nick Daicos have jumped clear of the pack in the race for the AFLCA Champion Player of the Year Award, with six perfect games from round six.

Butters picked up eight votes in his side's narrow loss to Hawthorn to move to 42 for the season, with Daicos cutting his lead to just two after he picked up 10 votes in the Magpies' win over Carlton.

The pair are at least a game clear of Max Gawn (30 votes) and Marcus Bontempelli (28), neither of whom polled in round six, as well as Christian Petracca (eight votes from the weekend).

Joining Daicos in getting a perfect score from the coaches in round six were Jeremy Cameron, Nick Blakey, Taylor Walker, Harry Sheezel and Jye Amiss, despite losing out to Jordan Clark (eight votes) for the Glendinning-Allan Medal as best on ground in the Western Derby.

Matt Rowell (nine votes) and Petracca (eight) led the way for Gold Coast in their win over Essendon, Jason Horne-Francis and Nick Watson joined Butters in getting eight votes in the Hawks-Power game, while Harris Andrews, Kade Chandler and Harvey Langford got eight votes each from the Sunday afternoon thriller between Melbourne and Brisbane.

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 AFLCA Champion Player of the Year Award.
