Rory Sloane headlined a trio of Crows who polled votes in Round 10 in the chase to be named AFL Champion Player of the Year following the loss to West Coast at Adelaide Oval.

The co-captain received four votes after he kicked an early goal, shook off a determined tag, and finished with 32 disposals and 10 inside-50s.

Brad Crouch (three votes) was rewarded for a classy performance, which yielding a round-high 39 disposals and a career-best 26 kicks.

Wayne Milera Junior (one) rounded out the votes for the Club after he booted three goals in his first game since Round Five.

An AC joint injury had sidelined Milera but he returned to the senior team in style and was confident in a familiar position in the forward half.

West Coast players Luke Shuey (10), Elliot Yeo (eight) and Andrew Gaff (four) led the voting from Crows coach Don Pyke and Eagles coach Adam Simpson.

Each round, coaches vote for five players with a mark from 1-5, with five the highest.

A maximum of 10 votes can be received in a game.

The player with the most votes at the end of the season becomes the Shadforth AFLCA Champion Player of the Year.
