WE HAVE a new leader in the AFLCA Champion Player Award for 2023 after Zak Butters dashed clear of longtime No.1 Nick Daicos with his eight-vote effort in Port Adelaide's win over Richmond on Sunday.
Butters is now three votes clear of Daicos, who polled five votes in Collingwood's comfortable win over North Melbourne.
>> SCROLL DOWN TO SEE ALL THE VOTES
Melbourne superstar Christian Petracca remains in the top three after racking up eight votes against Fremantle, and he's now closely followed by in-form Magpies midfielder Jordan De Goey, who polled a perfect 10 votes against the Kangaroos.
De Goey's 10 was one of six perfect scores for the round, with James Sicily, Tim Taranto, Zach Merrett, Rory Laird and Matt Rowell all earning unanimous best-afield honours from the coaches.
