TOP votes for the AFLCA Champion Player of the Year Award were shared between a couple of Demon leaders in Round 14.

Co-captain Jack Viney (28 disposals) and vice-captain Max Gawn (20 disposals and 46 hit outs) both polled seven votes for their efforts in the middle against Fremantle, as the duo combined to lead their side to a 14-point win.

Tom McDonald also featured prominently, being awarded six votes for his 28-disposal effort on Saturday.

The key forward made a stunning return to form with three goals, standing up in the dying stages of the game.

Clayton Oliver, who also found the ball on 28 occasions, received four votes, while Sam Frost was acknowledged with one vote for his performance in defence.

Fremantle’s Bradley Hill (four votes) and Nat Fyfe (one vote) were also among the best players on the field, according to the coaches.

After last week’s game, Gawn sits in seventh position on the competition leaderboard with 53 votes, trailing Geelong’s Tim Kelly for the top honour.
