Each round this season, the Zero Hanger team - consisting of editor Mitch Keating, senior reporter Jack Fitzpatrick, general manager Nick Splitter, and deputy editor Ed Carmine - will vote on every game to establish our AFL MVP for 2022.

Votes will be given out on a 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 system for each game, meaning the maximum score any player can record in any game is 20.

Round 10 was a great round of footy for neutral fans, with every team putting up a good fight regardless of the result at the end of the game.

The big names were back at it again this week, with impressive performances from Bailey Smith, Sam Walsh and Clayton Oliver keeping their names in the mix, while Max King and Charlie Curnow lit up the round with their super attacking efforts.
