MELBOURNE’S No.5 secured five coaches' votes in Round 5, which means she has polled five times in five weeks.

There’s a bit to digest there.

But to cut a long story short, Tyla Hanks has climbed to 10th position on the AFLCA MVP Leaderboard, after yet another dominant performance against the Magpies on Sunday.

The 21-year-old led her side in disposals (22), contested possessions (10), first possessions (seven), loose ball gets (six), tackles (six), clearances (five) and score involvements (four), doing her best to keep the Demons in the contest at Victoria Park.

Hanks, who was nominated for the NAB Rising Star Award in Round 2, hasn’t missed a game since debuting in 2019, and has come a long way in the past 12 months.

The classy midfielder is now one of the standout players in the competition, ranked fifth in the league for tackles, sixth for clearances, 10th for contested possessions and 15th for disposals (averaging 20 per game – double her output from 2020).
