Andrew Swallow also polled for a remarkable fifth consecutive game. His 26 possessions, 6 tackles and 2 goal assists all came in 82 per cent game time. Swallow consistently spends around 80 per cent of matches on the ground, a mark which is slightly less than other elite midfielders. Even so, he sits in ninth place on the overall leaderboard.
The evergreen Brent Harvey polled seven votes and his recent run of good form has him thinking about how long he can keep playing.
Ryan Bastinac collected 31 possessions, second only to Harvey to find himself among the votes for the second consecutive game.
