Carlton captain Patrick Cripps holds a one-vote lead in our MVP race as we enter the final week of the home and away season, with the Brownlow Medal winner and Collingwood gun Nick Daicos both managing 20 votes for Round 23.
The perfect results see our top two continue to pile on votes in the home stretch, with just three contenders left to take out this year's award after Sydney star Isaac Heeney managed his own 20-vote game over the weekend.
Cripps' dominant display against West Coast sees his tally sit at 234 votes heading into Round 24, with Daicos one vote behind the Blues skipper.
Another 20-vote week for Heeney to see out the season will take him to 238 votes for the year, needing Cripps to poll no more than four votes for the Sydney midfielder to stand a chance.
Daicos could take an early lead as the Magpies face Melbourne on Friday night, with Heeney the next to play of the trio as the Swans host Adelaide on Saturday.
Carlton and Cripps battle St Kilda this Sunday, with our MVP race to be decided on the final day of the 2024 home and away season.
Western Bulldogs star Marcus Bontempelli (207 votes) and Essendon captain Zach Merrett (210 votes) can still manage podium finishes with strong ends to their respective campaigns.
Daicos, Heeney and Cripps were among the seven players to poll 20 votes from the weekend, with fellow top 10 runner Zak Butters also managing a perfect return after his record-breaking Showdown performance on Saturday night.
Melbourne's Jack Viney, Western Bulldogs youngster Sam Darcy and Hawks midfielder Jai Newcombe polled 20 votes each also.
St Kilda defender Callum Wilkie came to a unanimous BOG performance against the Cats, managing five-vote nods from three of our judges to poll 18 votes for his rock-solid display.
