Damian Barrett and Matthew Lloyd with the latest AFL news and opinions from Round 3

Players from Adelaide, St Kilda, Essendon and Brisbane dominated in their wins, while the Suns - led by Rowell - swept the votes in their huge victory over Melbourne.

Sinclair's 10 against Richmond has seen him join De Koning in equal third.

Every week, the two senior coaches for each game give votes on a 5-4-3-2-1 basis, meaning 10 votes is the maximum a player can get in each round.

The player with the most votes at the end of the home and away season will win the Sharp EIT Solutions AFLCA Champion Player of the Year Award.
