Precocious Pies star Nick Daicos earned full votes for the first time this season in his ANZAC Medal winning performance, now sitting atop the Zero Hanger MVP leaderboard after six rounds.

Marcus Bontempelli is close behind in second place after his stellar performance against Fremantle, one of six players this round to earn full votes after their performances.

Jeremy Cameron, Tim English and Clayton Oliver round out the top five, with the latter failing to earn a vote in his Round 6 performance.

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.

Hawthorn vs Adelaide 

The Crows snatched victory from Hawthorn's hands thanks to some late forward brilliance from Izak Rankine and Darcy Fogarty with just minutes remaining.

Former Crows captain Rory Sloane had his best game for the year to see Adelaide over the line, while veteran sharpshooter Taylor Walker was a key piece in the victory with four majors.

Hawks midfielder Conor Nash added to a strong Gather Round performance with a hard-hitting outing against the Crows, looking to will his side to their second win of the season.

Carlton vs St Kilda 

St Kilda has continued to fly the flag under Ross Lyon across the opening six rounds of the season, holding off an inaccurate Carlton outfit to claim their fifth win of the year.

Young star Mitch Owens was again among the Saints' best performers, while the reliable Jack Sinclair was a pivotal asset in the side's avenue to attack.

Albeit in defeat, Carlton captain Patrick Cripps and fellow midfielder Adam Cerra were dominant through the middle of the field.
