COLLINGWOOD star Nick Daicos has officially clinched the AFL Coaches Association's Champion Player of the Year Award after another 10-vote game.
Daicos earned 10 votes after gathering 39 disposals to go with 10 clearances and a goal in the win over West Coast in Perth.
>> SCROLL DOWN TO SEE ALL THE VOTES
That took the star to 140 votes, 34 clear of Western Bulldogs captain Marcus Bontempelli with two rounds remaining.
And remarkably, all nine games had a player earn 10 votes.
Luke Davies-Uniacke, Kai Lohmann, Kysaiah Pickett, Errol Gulden, Ollie Dempsey, Izak Rankine, Matt Rowell and Francis Evans joined Daicos with 10-vote games.
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.
