Two Coleman medallists earned perfect votes as some familiar names rise to the top of the Zero Hanger MVP.

A number of best-on-ground performances caught the eye of our voters, while two teams failed to attract any votes from Round 4's action.

Reminder: votes are given out in a 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 system for each game, meaning the maximum score any player can record in any game is 20.

Brisbane vs Collingwood

A pair of electric forward line performances handed Collingwood their first loss of the season, bringing the Lions into the top eight for the first time this year.

It was an inspired switch for Cam Rayner from half back to forward flank, who kicked four goals and won 17 possessions in a breakout display.

Charlie Cameron hit the scoreboard with six goals of his own, while creating 11 score involvements in the 33-point win.

Meanwhile, Nick Daicos continued his blistering 2023 season form as the best player in a losing side.

North Melbourne vs Carlton

Charlie Curnow earned a perfect 20 votes in Zero Hanger's 2023 AFL MVP with a dominant performance at Marvel Stadium.

The reigning Coleman medallist finished the night with six goals and nine marks as Carlton took the chocolates in a Good Friday clash against North Melbourne.

Big Blue Harry McKay joined the action with four goals and 14 marks, while the Kangaroos' rookie sensation Harry Sheezel broke records with his 37-disposal showing.

Adelaide vs Fremantle

Fremantle's slow play was again ineffective, as the Crows ran circles around the underperforming Western Australian side.

It was an Adelaide sweep in this week's voting, with few standouts for the Dockers at Adelaide Oval.

After being questioned about his Showdown Medal win last week, Crows captain Jordan Dawson responded with a best-on-ground performance.

Dawson's 27 disposals at 96% efficiency tore the Dockers apart, while Izak Rankine again showed his quality with three goals.

Richmond vs Western Bulldogs

The Western Bulldogs squeezed past Richmond in a slippery MCG affair, running out five-point winners despite an eight-goal second quarter for the Tigers.

Dogs skipper Marcus Bontempelli pushed his case as the best midfielder in the comp, with a best-on-ground 17 contested possessions.

Ruckman Tim Engish was also dominant for the Bulldogs, showing his around-the-ground skillset with two goals, six marks, and nine tackles.

Richmond's Daniel Rioli and Liam Baker held strong in a loss, remaining important pieces in the Tigers' finals hopes.

St Kilda vs Gold Coast

After a promising win against the reigning premiers in Round 3, Gold Coast was blown away by the new-look Saints.

Under Ross Lyon, St Kilda has risen to the top after four rounds and is yet to lose a game in season 2023.

Half-back Jack Sinclair delighted with 31 disposals and a goal, while 19-year-old Mitch Owens had 27 possessions and two goals.

Stand-in skipper Callum Wilkie was also impressive with 24 disposals as livewire small forward Jack Higgins earned votes with a five-goal haul.

Sydney vs Port Adelaide

Despite influential performances from Chad Warner (30 disp.) and Oliver Florent (33 disp.) the Sydney Swans fell just short against Port Adelaide.

The Swans pair were on the cusp of a tight victory, with Florent's after-the-siren kick spoiled on the line by Power defender Allir Allir in a confusing finish.

Allir's game-winning play, alongside 12 intercept possessions, made him one of Port's best on the night.

Jeremy Finlayson gave the Power the lead after taking a spectacular mark in the fourth quarter, and finished an emotional game with three goals.

Essendon vs GWS

Essendon's red-hot start continued as they made a last-quarter run against the Giants.

The Dons were led by in-form defender Mason Redman, who had 27 disposals and a goal along with eight intercept possessions.

Jake Stringer was an excitement machine for the Bombers, kicking a torp goal on the run and finishing with four goals in an otherwise inefficient night.

Josh Kelly shone for GWS, finishing with two goals and 28 disposals at 78% efficiency.

West Coast vs Melbourne

Mebourne's big win over West Coast was fueled by a superstar pair, while an Eagle finally showed his talent.

Clayton Oliver (34) and Christian Petracca (29) combined for 63 disposals as they controlled the game at Optus Stadium.

Petrecca finished with three goals, and Oliver dominated the inside with 18 contested possessions. Both were well-sourced by recruit Brodie Grundy.

Tim Kelly was outstanding for West Coast with a 26-disposal, two-goal game against the Dees midfield.

Geelong vs Hawthorn

After a slow start, Geelong dismantled Hawthorn in a 10-goal-to-nothing third quarter.

Jeremy Cameron again staked his claim as the best in the business, finishing with seven goals off 22 disposals to take the Coleman Medal lead.

Mitch Duncan (31 disp.) and Patrick Dangerfield (27 disp.) outclassed the inexperienced Hawks midfield en route to an Easter Monday thrashing.

Hawthorn's Will Day was one of few Hawks to challenge the Cats, playing out a tough game with eight tackles and 14 contested possessions.
