THERE are only three rounds left in the race for the AFL Coaches' Association's AFL Champion Player Award.

Brisbane ball-magnet Lachie Neale still holds the outright lead but he failed to poll this round, as did fellow contenders Christian Petracca, Travis Boak (bye), Taylor Adams and Jack Steele (bye).

Superstar Docker Nat Fyfe earned a perfect 10 in his side's loss to Richmond, while West Coast's Liam Ryan and Greater Western Sydney's Nick Haynes also registered maximum votes.

Giants coach Leon Cameron and Carlton boss David Teague couldn't be more on the same page, agreeing on the same 5-4-3-2-1.
