Petracca is now on 37 votes for the year, level in equal fourth spot with Geelong's Max Holmes, who picked up 10 in the Cats' win over North Melbourne.

Collingwood's Nick Daicos (two votes in round eight) is on top with 50 votes, ahead of Zak Butters on 48 (zero in round eight) and Marcus Bontempelli on 41 (five in round eight).

Joining Holmes in getting a perfect 10 votes in round eight was Fremantle's Shai Bolton, Richmond's Noah Balta, St Kilda's Rowan Marshall and Sydney's Malcolm Rosas jnr.

Connor MacDonald and Dan Houston shared best on ground honours in Hawthorn's draw with Collingwood, getting eight votes each, while three players - Aliir Aliir, Wayne Milera and Sam Berry - got eight votes in the Showdown on Friday night and Hugh McCluggage and Darcy Wilmot got nine each in Brisbane's win over Essendon.

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.
