Caleb Daniel, Jack Macrae and Marcus Bontempelli were among the votes for the Bulldogs, with Brodie Grundy, Jack Crisp and Jordan Roughead earning recognition for the Magpies.

Daniel and Grundy were the leading vote-getters with seven apiece.

Continuing his outstanding season, Daniel racked up 35 disposals and seven rebound-50s to play a key role for the Bulldogs.

Macrae (41 disposals, 13 tackles) and Bontempelli (30 disposals, nine clearances) earned five votes each for their midfield roles.

Bontempelli is now 18 votes behind competition leader Tim Kelly (69), sitting in eighth spot on the leaderboard with 51 votes.
