Coaches' votes, R6: Cripps nipping at leader's heels, Swan grabs a slice of third

A perfect 10 coaches' votes has seen Carlton's Patrick Cripps leapfrog Melbourne's Christian Petracca into second spot on the AFL Coaches Association’s Champion Player Award.

Sydney co-captain Callum Mills also scored maximum points and joins Clayton Oliver for a share of third.

Fremantle's Andrew Brayshaw is still in the lead, but only two votes now separate the Dockers young gun and the Carlton captain.

Five other players received the maximum votes, with Jack Higgins, Jeremy Cameron and Zac Bailey rewarded for their big goal hauls during round six.
