Western Bulldogs skipper Marcus Bontempelli has surpassed Christian Petracca for first place in the Zero Hanger MVP race after garnering 16 of a possible 20 votes in Friday night's thrilling victory over the Adelaide Crows.
'Mini Bont' Joel Freijah stole his captain's thunder, polling the maximum 20 - one of four players to achieve the feat in Round 2.
Fremantle's offensive weapon Shai Bolton, West Coast's spiritual leader Harley Reid and St Kilda's rock-solid key backman Cal Wilkie rounded out the list of maximum vote-getters.
Nick Daicos retained his place on the rolling podium despite having the bye in Round 2, while Christian Petracca was usurped on account of polling no votes for his injury-interrupted outing against Richmond.
Zero Hanger's Aidan Cellini, Jonty Ralphsmith, Harrison McIlwaine and Mitch Keating will each give their 5-4-3-2-1 for every game of the home and away season.
The player who receives the most votes will take out the Zero Hanger AFL MVP, powered by Winning Edge Presentations.
