THE RACE for the AFL Coaches Association Champion Player of the Year is down to two, with one of Nick Daicos and Marcus Bontempelli set to claim the crown.

Daicos is the raging favourite to add the AFLCA trophy to his resume after polling another 10 votes in Collingwood's win over Adelaide on Thursday night to move to 125 votes for the year.

That surpassed the previous record for most votes in a single season, set by Richmond great Dustin Martin with 122 in 2017.

Bontempelli collected eight votes from the coaches in the Western Bulldogs' win over Richmond on Saturday night, taking his total to 106 votes and allowing Daicos to stretch his lead to 19 votes with four matches remaining.

The Bulldogs skipper can still overtake the superstar Magpie, with a maximum of 40 votes available to each player, but it would take a serious form slump or significant injury for Daicos to give up his commanding lead.

The third-placed player, Fremantle ruck Luke Jackson, is 49 votes behind Daicos and cannot catch the Collingwood champ.

Daicos was one of six players to poll a perfect 10 votes in round 20, joined by Hawk Jarman Impey, Sydney's Errol Gulden, Bulldog Ed Richards, Brisbane's Will Ashcroft and St Kilda's Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera.

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.
