The consistency of Collingwood midfielder Steele Sidebottom has seen him rise above a crowded chasing pack to hold a one-point lead in the Rover's Brownlow leaderboard.
Sidebottom claimed one vote in the win over Carlton to take him to the top.
Behind him it's getting awfully crowded, with five players all sitting on 15 votes.
North Melbourne star Shaun Higgins dragged his team over the line and earned three votes, while Stephen Coniglio's two-vote effort took him in to a tie for second.

Elsewhere, GWS gun Josh Kelly continued his good form since returning from injury, claiming three votes against Brisbane, while Devon Smith and Jaeger O'Meara also had best-on-ground performances.
