Each round, the two coaches from every game vote on the best five players from their game, giving five to the player they judge to be the best on ground.

Ten votes is the maximum (five votes from each coach) a player can receive from a game.

Eight players scored a perfect 10 in the opening round of the 2021 season, including last year's Norm Smith medalist Dustin Martin and Crows veteran Taylor Walker.
