The AFL Rover's Brownlow leaderboard: Tom Mitchell polls again in round 20 image

It wasn't another best-on-ground performance but Hawthorn star Tom Mitchell still found himself among the votes for his 43 disposals in the win over Essendon.

'Titch' took a three-vote lead into round 20 which was cut by one as GWS' Stephen Coniglio picked up two votes in his side's thrashing of Carlton.

Melbourne young gun Clayton Oliver joined Dayne Beams on 19 votes in equal third position after a three-vote effort in the win over Gold Coast.

West Coast midfielder Elliot Yeo won the Glendinning-Allan in spiteful Derby on Sunday, also earning three votes from The Rover to take his season total to 18.

The rest of the top ten didn't feature in the votes but there were still plenty of big names that did.

Patrick Dangerfield was awarded three votes in the Friday night loss to Richmond.

Five goals to Jack Gunston in the win over Essendon earned the Hawks star three votes, while Dayne Zorko, Bryce Gibbs, Jason Johannisen, Lance Franklin and Josh Kelly all starred in round 20.
