For a third straight week, Crows Rory Laird and Bryce Gibbs have polled votes from the coaches.

Gibbs earned a perfect 10 votes for his performance against St Kilda on Saturday night.

The star recruit collected 26 disposals including 12 in a dominant first quarter. He was also the leading tackler (10) and clearance winner (eight) in Adelaide’s 49-point win.

Laird and wingman Paul Seedsman each received seven votes from Don Pyke and Alan Richardson.

Laird was Adelaide’s highest-possession getter with 32 at 81 per cent efficiency. He also also had a team-high six rebound 50ms, six tackles and seven marks.

The performance saw Laird, who has now polled 23 votes, edge one vote closer to Hawthorn star and overall leader of the 2018 Shadforth Financial Group AFLCA Champion Player of the Year award, Tom Mitchell (26).

Laird and Gibbs, who has polled 13 votes to sit just outside the top 10, are the only Crows to attract votes in all three games this season.

Seedsman gained more metres (710) at Etihad Stadium than any other player on Saturday night. The long-kicking onballer kicked two goals from his 26 disposals. He also recorded an equal-team high eight marks and eight inside 50ms, and won four clearances.

Reliable defender Luke Brown and ruckman Sam Jacobs were recognised with two votes apiece.

Brown kept his direct opponents goalless, while chalking up 26 touches and an equal-team high six rebound 50ms.

Jacobs was influential in the ruck and also around the ground.

The consistent big man had an equal-game high 12 contested possessions and collected 20 disposals for the second-consecutive week.

He was involved in more scores (10) than any other player on the ground and took a team-high three contested marks to go with 37 hit-outs.

Three-goal forward Eddie Betts and Saints onballer Seb Ross rounded out the voting with one each.

Brownlow Medallists Nat Fyfe (Fremantle) and Trent Cotchin (Richmond), ruckman Max Gawn (Melbourne), and midfielders Steele Sidebottom (Collingwood) and Lachie Hunter (Western Bulldogs) were the other players to receive 10 votes on the weekend.
