Fremantle star Nat Fyfe remains streets ahead atop the AFL Coaches’ Association Champion Player of the Year leader-board, following yet another unanimous best on ground performance.
The 23-year-old went head-to-head with Adelaide superstar Patrick Dangerfield for much of Saturday’s match, collecting 40 disposals (26 contested), 14 clearances and six tackles. Meanwhile, Dangerfield had 38 touches of his own (29 contested) along with nine clearances and eight tackles.
While debate raged about who’d won the contest, both coaches awarded Fyfe top votes.
Interestingly, while Brandon Ellis collected the Yiooken Medal for best afield in Saturday’s Dreamtime at the ‘G clash, the coaches saw it differently. James Hird and Damien Hardwick each picked Shane Edwards as the standout performer.
West Coast’s Josh Kennedy and St Kilda’s David Armitage were also awarded perfect 10s for their matches, while Jamie Elliott collected a perfect 10 votes for his outstanding five-goal display in Collingwood’s comeback against North Melbourne.
