At nine and eight points apiece in the AFLCA vote, the accolades for Aaron Hall and Tom Lynch continue to roll in after round three.
Hall walked away from round one with a perfect 10 and two weeks on has polled nine points for his 40-disposal game against Carlton.
The 25-year-old also notched up six marks, four tackles, seven inside 50s and a goal.
Lynch is proving to be one of the game’s most important forwards, and his four goal, 23 disposal round three performance has seen him not only take eight points, but also secure second place on the AFLCA Leaderboard.
The vice-captain polled nine votes after last week’s WA performance and five during his team’s defeat of Essendon in round one.
After a coming-of-age performance at both ends of the ground Clay Cameron has polled for the first time this season.
Gary Ablett and Jack Martin both took away five votes, the second time each has featured in the AFLCA tally for 2016.
Jacob Weitering was the only Carlton player to register a vote.
Following each game of the 2016 season, coaches from both teams vote on who they believed to be most instrumental to the game. Each coach votes for five players, allocating a score form 1-5. The maximum a player can register for a single game is 10 votes.
After round three Lynch has moved into second place behind Sydney’s Luke Parker, trailing by just 7 votes. Meanwhile, Hall has skyrocketed into fourth place, having sat equal eighth last week.
