Taggers take hold as Heeney’s lead largens: AFLCA Champion Player Votes Round 13

After cutting the margin to just four votes last week, Nick Daicos' overtaking climb has been halted after the champ was held to just 15 disposals by Demon Alex Neal-Bullen and subbed out with a knee concern. He still sits second, eight votes clear of Caleb Serong.

Heeney's nine-vote performance in an impressive win extends his lead a-top the coaches table to 13 votes, leaving the rest of the comp a big hill to climb yet again.

Marcus Bontempelli also dipped slightly down the ranks after he too was clamped by Lion Jarrod Berry. His three goal effort in response was not enough to secure a vote in the 43-point loss.

Six perfect 10's were awarded over the long weekend, starting with Lachie Neale and his 38 touches and two goals on Friday night.

Will Day's efforts in yet another Hawthorn upset earned him a perfect poll, while Kangaroo skipper Jy Simpkin helped carry his team to their upset win, kicking two fourth quarter goals from 28 disposals and earning the bulk of coaching praise.

Jack Sinclair was the shining light in a dour affair on Saturday night against the Suns, collecting 31 crucial touches in a three-point win for the Saints.

Tom De Koning was everywhere on Sunday night, helping Carlton climb to second spot with his performance out of the ruck.

Finally, it was the Neale Daniher trophy winner Jack Crisp who took home 10 in Collingwood's convincing King's Birthday win.

See how the coaches voted in Round 13.
