The AFL Coaches’ Association have released their votes for the second week of the finals.
After a season in which Dustin Martin edged out Patrick Dangerfield for the AFLCA home-and-away season award, the coaches now voted for the Gary Ayres Award, which will determine the best player in the finals.
From the weekend's two semi-finals, Geelong star Patrick Dangerfield was the only player to get a perfect 10, as the votes in the Giants and Eagles clash were split among a few key players.
