Coleman Medal: Seven-goal Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti bolts up as Jeremy Cameron retains lead image

Jeremy Cameron leads the Coleman Medal race, but Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti has thrown his hat in the ring.

A week after kicking seven against Richmond, Cameron kicked three in his side's remarkable victory in Geelong, and retained his lead at the top - but only just.

Tom Lynch is revelling for Richmond, and kicked six in his side's gutsy win over Port Adelaide.

However, McDonald-Tipungwuti kicked seven in Essendon's win over Brisbane to put his name in lights.

Ben Brown also kicked four as North Melbourne broke their duck in 2019 against Adelaide.

Cameron and Lynch will look to continue their arm-wrestle across the Easter-Anzac Day rounds, but below them, it's starting to tighten up.

Six players are locked in a logjam on eight goals - Luke Breust (Hawthorn), Charlie Cameron, Eric Hipwood and Lincoln McCarthy (Brisbane), Jeremy Finlayson (GWS) and Michael Walters (Fremantle).
