Patrick Cripps is making a late charge toward the top of the coaches votes leaderboard, now sitting five-votes shy of podium placement after his 41 touches and nine-vote performance on Friday night.

Teammate Sam Walsh shared equal second-best honours with Tom De Koning to now sit ninth on the leaderboard.

A measly four votes for Heeney was still enough to extend an already healthy lead up top, albeit with some bye-round assistance leaving second and third-placed Nick Daicos and Marcus Bontempelli unable to make any in-roads.

Errol Gulden jumped his good mate Chad Warner in the top 10, earning an equal-best nine votes to go with his third Brett Kirk Medal and his highest placement this season on the coaches leaderboard at fourth.

Lachie Neale creeps into the top 10 with his eight votes in Brisbane's Power demolition, sending warning signs to the competition as Brisbane quickly rise into flag contention.

Zach Merrett was edged out by teammates Jake Stringer and Sam Durham as the top vote-getters, despite yet another inspirational performance from the skipper. He ties Chad Warner on 55 votes and a seventh-placed ranking.
