Carlton captain Patrick Cripps has extended his lead over the chasing pack in our MVP race, with the Blues ball winner now holding a 24-vote gap over second place.
Cripps polled 15 votes in Sunday's win over North Melbourne to extend the buffer between him and Sydney star Isaac Heeney, who failed to poll in Round 19.
Heeney was joined by Collingwood ace Nick Daicos, Brisbane star Lachie Neale and Port Adelaide midfielder Zak Butters in failing to poll, placing further pressure among the top few spots, which also saw Marcus Bontempelli and Errol Gulden struggle to poll, amassing two and four votes respectively from the weekend.
Essendon skipper Zach Merrett managed to add 12 votes to his season tally to move ahead of Daicos and into third spot, while Fremantle's Caleb Serong has moved back into the top 10 thanks to his 19-vote effort in Sunday's win over Melbourne.
Only four players managed to poll more votes than Serong from Round 19, with North Melbourne's Harry Sheezel amassing a perfect game despite his side's loss to the Blues.
Adelaide's Ben Keays put up one of the best performances of 2024 in the thrilling win over Essendon on Friday night, while Hawks gun Jack Ginnivan and Saints forward Tim Membrey both managed perfect performances on Saturday.
Port Adelaide's Connor Rozee joins Serong in polling 19 votes, while Western Bulldogs duo Ed Richards and Adam Treloar and Brisbane teammates Hugh McCluggage and Cameron Rayner all managed 18 votes in their respective victories.
