THE RACE for the AFLCA Champion Player of the Year Award is set to go down to the wire with the top five separated by just five votes. 

Bulldogs superstar Marcus Bontempelli polled nine votes against Gold Coast to move into a share of the lead with Demons ball magnet Clayton Oliver, who managed six votes in the draw with Hawthorn.

Just two votes behind is Suns workhorse Touk Miller and Carlton superstar Sam Walsh, who made it back-to-back perfect performances with his phenomenal effort against Collingwood. 

Power star Ollie Wines also polled the maximum to stay in the hunt, while Saints skipper Jack Steele is still in the mix just 10 votes back.
