Cooper Sharman's seamless, soaring showing over Essendon has been rewarded with a maiden 10 coaches' votes, headlining another all-Saints tally after last week's dominant outing over West Coast.

While the Saints had no shortage of contributors during Saturday's 53-point win over the Bombers, Sharman's 21 disposals, 10 marks and three goals were a clear standout under the roof and was deemed best afield in the eyes of coaches Ross Lyon and Brad Scott.

Sharman had a goal to his name by half-time, however it was his prolific third term — which yielded two goals, five marks (two contested) and a selfless goal assist to hand skipper Jack Steele his second goal in as many minutes — that effectively broke the Bombers' back and opened the door for a stunning St Kilda surge.

The 24-year-old's safe hands were just as important as his sharpshooting in front of the sticks, reeling in five of his side's 20 marks inside forward-50 for the afternoon.

Scintillating Saints sink Bombers

Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera's efficiency forward of centre and coming off half-back received seven votes, but pole position in St Kilda's tally now sits with Rowan Marshall (five votes) following his 30 hit-out, eight-clearance display.

Skipper Steele earned six votes in the wake of his dazzling second half which produced three majors in the third quarter, while Anthony Caminiti and Callum Wilkie snared a vote apiece off the back of their prolific performances at either end of the ground.
