Collingwood star Nick Daicos has inched closer to hitting the record 300-vote mark for the first time in Zero Hanger MVP history.
The Pies' son-of-a-gun received 20 votes for his efforts out west against the Eagles as the club locked up a spot in the finals.
Other maximum-vote getters were Luke Davies-Uniacke, Tom Sparrow, Errol Gulden, Bailey Smith, Izak Rankine and Matt Rowell.
A fellow father-son star Will Ashcroft continued his incredible individual year, rewarded with the bulk of the votes to jump up towards the podium.
With first and second spots sewn up, a race for third position will be played out in the next fortnight as the 2026 campaign comes to a close.
Unheralded Carlton forward Francis Evans was a near-best on in the eyes of the voters, as was Kai Lohmann, who shared the chocolates with Ashcroft.
Each week, Zero Hanger's Jonty Ralphsmith, Aidan Cellini, Mitch Keating and Harrison McIlwaine will assign their 5-4-3-2-1 votes for every game. The player with the most votes at the conclusion of the home and away season will be crowned the Zero Hanger MVP, powered by Winning Edge Presentations.
