JACK Macrae is sitting pretty atop the Gary Ayres Medal leaderboard with just one week left in the finals series.

But teammate Bailey Smith, who is enjoying a stellar finals campaign, is still a mathematical chance to snatch victory away from Macrae.

Smith, who polled nine votes for his four-goal performance against Port Adelaide, sits in second spot on the leaderboard with 17 votes, while Macrae is eight votes ahead on 25 votes.

Max Gawn polled a perfect 10 votes for his extraordinary performance against Geelong on Friday night.

Check out all the week two votes and the leaderboard below. 

For every final, the AFL coaches vote for the best players from their game. The coaches vote for five players, giving them a mark from 1-5. The maximum a player can score is 10 (with five votes from both coaches).
