WESTERN Bulldogs skipper Marcus Bontempelli has narrowed Demon Clayton Oliver's lead to just eight votes in the race for the AFLCA champion player award.

'The Bont' got the unanimous nod against Fremantle, joining Collingwood's Jamie Elliott as the only players to score maximum votes in round 12.

Essendon young gun Darcy Parish may have taken home the Yiooken Medal as best afield in the Dreamtime in Perth match, but it was Richmond superstar Dustin Martin who had a better game according to the coaches.
