Every round, the AFL coaches vote for the best players from their game. The coaches vote for five players, giving them a mark from 1-5. The maximum a player can score is 10 (with five votes from both coaches).

Dayne Beams' fantastic run of form continued on Saturday against Hawthorn. Beams tallied 33 disposals, seven clearances and eight inside 50s in the big win. 

The performance saw Beams collect seven Coaches Votes and he now sits in eighth place overall on the leaderboard.

Young gun Hugh McCluggage (29 disposals, five clearances) also grabbed seven votes for a classy performance in the midfield. 

Stef Martin (16 hitouts to advantage) was dominant in the ruck and earned five votes, while an amazing performance down back by Josh Walker (four contested marks, 12 spoils) saw him collect five votes. 

A shutdown performance on Hawks forward Luke Breust saw Nick Robertson rewarded with one vote from the coaches.
