For the seventh time this season, Crows fans have voted Rory Sloane as the most valuable Crow.

But it was a close result from Sunday’s night’s win over Essendon, with Sloane (28 points) edging out five-goal forward Eddie Betts (24) and defender Rory Laird (23).

First-year forward Mitch McGovern was also recognised by the fans, earning seven points.

Sloane has now moved to 396 points on the leaderboard, well clear of Laird (154), Jenkins (128) and Eddie Betts (125)..

Voting for the fans’ MVP opens after every Crows game and stays open until 4.30pm (SA time) on Tuesday.

Assign three votes to the player you deem to be the best Crows player, two votes to the second best player and one vote to the third best.

At the end of the voting period all the votes are added up but there are a maximum of 100 points per game that can be awarded to the entire team. Each player is then given a percentage of the total votes received to go towards their season tally.

At the end of the year the player who is at the top of the season leaderboard is crowned the Fans’ Most Valuable Player, thanks to The Social Wine Club.
