A quartet of Richmond players have recorded coaches' votes for their efforts in last Friday's Dreamtime in Darwin clash.
Monique Conti's hot start to season 2025 continued, as she polled seven votes for her 30-disposal performance. Conti also amassed 16 contested possessions, nine tackles, seven inside 50s, five clearances, and five intercepts.
McKenzie was voted the KFC Player of the Match by the Tiger Army and for good reason, as the midfielder made an impact across the field with 26 disposals, 364 metres gained, nine contested possessions, five intercepts and four score involvements. She got four coaches' votes.
Paige Scott was a dangerous presence in attack for the Tigers, recording one goal, 13 disposals and six score involvements, while Poppy Kelly had a strong showing in the ruck (14 disposals, 17 hitouts, 10 contested possessions). Both players received one coaches' vote.
The Tigers will look to record their first win of the season on Saturday afternoon against the Demons.
Every week, the two senior coaches for each game give votes on a 5-4-3-2-1 basis, meaning 10 votes is the maximum a player can get in each round.
The player with the most votes at the end of the home and away season will win the Sharp EIT Solutions AFLCA Champion Player of the Year Award.
