St Kilda midfielder Seb Ross has been rewarded for his impressive performance against West Coast on Saturday night with six votes from Alan Richardson and Adam Simpson.
West Coast midfielder Luke Shuey and half-back Elliot Yeo collected the most AFL Coaches Association votes, with nine and seven votes respectively, following their efforts in the Eagles 19-point win at Domain Stadium.
Ross, 23, played an important role on Brownlow medallist Sam Mitchell, nullifying the champion midfielders influence while also collecting a team-high 29 possessions, 484 metres gained and 60.2 pressure points in Perth.
Versatile defender Dylan Roberton also earned some recognition from the coaches, receiving three votes for his effort in defence.
