Our MVP frontrunner has kept a firm grasp on the MVP crown with another masterful mid-forward display, but not without the threat of his own teammate racing up behind him with a performance from the top shelf.
Isaac Heeney and Chad Warner combined for 52 disposals, six goals and 26 score involvements against a powerful midfield in their 52-point win on Thursday night, at times toying with the opposition and inflicting significant damage in the front half.
While Heeney's lead in our MVP race grows weekly and his tally reaches a whopping 146 at Round 10, perhaps only his teammates can stop him from breaking away completely, as Warner shoots into the top 10 with his perfect 20 against the Blues.
Fellow midfield maestros Nick Daicos and Zak Butters continued their charge to the top, with assistance from Max Gawn and Zach Merrett, who managed just the one vote in total on the weekend.
Noah Anderson and Lachie Neale did their tally a favour with their own perfect 20s, each taking advantage of uncanny conditions and deficient opposition.
Prized prodigy Harley Reid and shock power-forward prototype Jake Waterman both impressed voters enough for two best-on-ground nods each, while Ed Richards and Daniel Houston also starred in wins for their side.
Izak Rankine, Rowan Marshall, Luke Davies-Uniacke and Blake Hardwick all shone in losses, each earning at least two best-on nods while carrying their sides.
Patrick Cripps and Marcus Bontempelli just hold their spots in the 10, sitting eighth and ninth on the board without adding to the tally dramatically on Friday and Saturday night respectively.
