Voting for the 2024 Gary Ayres Award have been confirmed from the two semi-finals, with Port Adelaide youngster Jase Burgoyne managing a perfect 10 from Friday's win while eight players polled from Saturday's thriller.
Burgoyne had arguably the best performance of his young career at Adelaide Oval against the Hawks, slotting into a roaming role in defence to be a key piece in Ken Hinkley's side.
The father-son flanker has been voted as the best afield by both coaches for his efforts, with teammate Jordon Sweet and Hawthorn midfielder Jai Newcombe the next best with five votes each.
A total of seven players featured in the votes from the three-point thriller.
Saturday's game was also recently voted on, with GWS spearhead Jesse Hogan leading the way with seven votes.
Brisbane trio Jarrod Berry, Will Ashcroft and Callum Ah Chee were next best with five votes apiece, while Dayne Zorko managed four votes to bring his tally to 14 across two games.
Only Newcombe, who has 15 votes, is ahead of Zorko, with Burgoyne, Isaac Heeney and Max Holmes the other with double digits.
