COLLINGWOOD star Nick Daicos has drawn level with Port Adelaide's Zak Butters at the top in the race for the AFLCA Champion Player of the Year Award, with six players getting a perfect 10 votes in round seven.
Daicos picked up eight votes on Anzac Day, hours before Butters grabbed six in Port's win over Geelong, moving the pair to 48 votes each after seven rounds.

Western Bulldogs captain Marcus Bontempelli (third spot, 36 votes) picked up eight votes despite his side's heavy loss to Sydney, while St Kilda co-captain Cal Wilkie moved to fourth spot (32 votes) after picking up seven in his side's big win over West Coast.
Sydney's Charlie Curnow picked up a perfect 10 votes for his seven goals against the Dogs, with Kysaiah Pickett, Scott Pendlebury, Jason Horne-Francis, Lachie Neale and Toby Greene the other players to get a perfect score from the coaches over the weekend.
Jai Newcombe (nine votes) was voted best on ground in Hawthorn's win over Gold Coast, while Shai Bolton and Luke Jackson got nine votes each for Fremantle against Carlton.
Wilkie was bizarrely one of four Saints to get seven votes against the Eagles, alongside Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera, Jack Higgins and Hugo Garcia, while Marcus Windhager and Brad Hill picked up one vote each.
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.
