THE RACE for the AFLCA Champion Player of the Year award is set to go down to the wire in the final fortnight of the season. 

Six players polled a perfect 10 in round 21, including star Sun Touk Miller, who has moved into third place. 

Melbourne gun Clayton Oliver holds a three-vote lead over Western Bulldogs skipper Marcus Bontempelli after both midfielders polled votes on the weekend. 

Port Adelaide's Ollie Wines and Carlton's Sam Walsh are still in the running, but will need a big finish to win. 

Rounds 22 and 23 will not be released until the winner is announced after the end of the home and away season. 
Check out all the round 21 votes and the full leaderboard below.
