A perfect ten votes for Matt Rowell highlighted a SUNS clean sweep of the coaches votes from Saturday’s big win over Melbourne.
Rowell received the maximum ten votes from Damien Hardwick and Demons coach Simon Goodwin, taking his season tally to 15 votes and firing him into the AFLCA Champion Player of the Year top 10.
His tally is only bettered by one SUN with captain Noah Anderson snagging eight votes for a second consecutive game to have him sitting in fifth on 16 votes.
Touk Miller (six votes), Jarrod Witts, Ben King (both two) and Bailey Humphrey (one) also polled for the second time in as many games to start the campaign, while John Noble earned the first coaches vote of his SUNS career.
Coaches votes: Round 3 v Melbourne
