SYDNEY'S Isaac Heeney has jumped into the top 10 in the race for the AFLCA Champion Player of the Year Award, with the Swans star one of five players to get a perfect 10 votes in round 12.
Heeney picked up 10 votes for his 32-disposal, five-goal performance against Richmond to move him to 49 for the season, 19 behind leader Nick Daicos.
>> SCROLL DOWN TO SEE ALL THE VOTES
Heeney has now polled at least one vote in eight out of 10 games this season, having missed two due to injury.
Carlton skipper Patrick Cripps also got 10 for his match-winning performance against Geelong, while Jordan De Goey, Finn Callaghan and Reuben Ginbey also got 10 votes in round 12.
James Sicily (nine votes) was the best on ground in Hawthorn's win over St Kilda, while Fremantle pair Josh Treacy and Jye Amiss (nine each) shared the votes in their side's big win over Brisbane.
The leaders all picked up some votes, with Marcus Bontempelli (five votes) cutting the lead to Daicos (three), while Max Holmes (two votes) remains in third spot.
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.
