The AFLย Playersโ€™ Association has announced the sixย playersย that have been nominated for the Most Valuable Player of the Month award for the month of July.

Each month, every player will vote to decide which player takes home the award, with the winner to automatically be nominated for the AFLย Playersโ€™ MVP Award given to the best player at the end of the season.

Past winners Leigh Matthews (1982), Gerard Healy (1988), Tim Watson (1989) andย Chris Juddย (2006, 2011) will all select six nominees per month, before theย playersย vote to decide the winner.

Rory Sloane (March/April), Josh Kelly (May) and Dustin Martin (June) are the past winners of the monthly award, although Martin is the only player from that trio nominated once again.

The superstar Tiger has been nominated for the fourth successive month, and is the only player to have been nominated during every voting period.
