NOAH Anderson, Caleb Serong and Ed Richards have jumped into the top four in the race for the Sharp EIT Solutions AFLCA Champion Player of the Year Award, but Geelong star Bailey Smith has retained the lead after 15 rounds.

Anderson (nine votes), Serong (eight) and Richards (eight) all had big games in round 15, with Smith - who did not poll in the Cats' loss to Brisbane - now leading the Gold Coast captain by just two votes.

>> SCROLL DOWN TO SEE ALL THE VOTES

Fremantle ruck Luke Jackson edged out Serong to be best on ground in the Dockers' win over Essendon and was one of three players to get a perfect 10 votes from the weekend along with North Melbourne midfielder Tom Powell, Collingwood ruckman Darcy Cameron and Western Bulldogs skipper Marcus Bontempelli.

Collingwood star Nick Daicos picked up eight votes in his side's win over St Kilda, despite copping a heavy tag, to move to eighth spot on the leaderboard.

Harris Andrews and Logan Morris (eight votes each) were best on for the Lions against the Cats, while Isaac Heeney and Brodie Grundy (nine votes each) led the way for Sydney in its win over Port Adelaide.

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 Sharp EIT Solutions AFLCA Champion Player of the Year Award.
