DYNAMIC forward Christian Petracca has cast aside the tag and earned maximum votes against Carlton despite a narrow one-point loss to Carlton.

Petracca was at his damaging best after moving forward following a quiet first quarter with close attention from Carlton's midfield, moving forward to boot five crucial goals.

Alex Neal-Bullen and Ed Langdon were the other Demons earning a nod from the coaches, with Sam Walsh, Jacob Weitering and Patrick Cripps earning the Lion's share of remaining votes.

Neal-Bullen showed his versatility with an impressive showing through the midfield after Petracca moved forward, laying a career-high 12 tackles.

Langdon is in a strong vein of form, also earning coaches' votes in Round 7 as he averages just under 20 touches per game from the wing.
