CARLTON captain Patrick Cripps has opened up an early lead in the race for the AFLCA Champion Player of the Year award after polling five votes against Hawthorn on Sunday.
Cripps now leads fellow superstar Christian Petracca by five votes after the Demon playmaker was quiet in his side's win over Essendon.
Fremantle young gun Andrew Brayshaw is equal with Petracca on 20 votes after another strong showing in the Western Derby.
Western Bulldogs ruckman Tim English, gun Demon Clayton Oliver, Cat Jeremy Cameron, Giants co-captain Stephen Coniglio, Docker Lachie Schultz and Adelaide hero Jordan Dawson all polled a perfect 10 in round three, but spearhead Max King missed out despite his match-winning heroics against Richmond.
