The battle between Matt Crouch and Rory Sloane continues to heat up in the race for this year’s Hertz Fans’ MVP title.

Crouch, 22, edged Sloane in the latest round of voting from Sunday’s loss to West Coast in Perth.

The tough midfielder polled a match-best 39 votes in his chase of the MVP lead. Crouch amassed a career-high 45 possessions, along with seven tackles, five inside 50ms, four clearances.

Sloane wasn’t too far behind with 27 votes from his 38-disposal display against the Eagles. The Crows vice-captain remains in a strong position 69 votes clear on top of the Hertz Fans’ MVP leaderboard.

Fellow onballer Brad Crouch completed the podium placings from the final game at Domain Stadium with a 20-vote haul.

Sam Jacobs and Rory Laird, who sits in third spot overall, rounded out the major vote-getters from Round 23.

One lucky participant after each round will claim a signed Hertz Crows football, courtesy of the Club’s official match ball partner, simply by voting.

Polls opens immediately after every Crows game. Users assign three votes to the player they deem Adelaide’s best contributor, two to the second-best and one vote for their third most valuable Crow in each match.

Polling closes on Tuesday at 4.30pm (SA time) after each round when the final votes are collated using a points system.

A maximum of 100 points per game can be awarded to the entire team. Each player is given a percentage of the total votes received to go towards their season tally (For example, if 1,200 votes were placed in Round One and Taylor Walker receives 600 then that is the equivalent of 50 per cent of all votes for that round and he would receive 50 points towards his season tally. If the second-best player received 120 votes from 1,200 then that is the equivalent of 10 per cent and he will get 10 votes towards the season tally).

This process is repeated each round and players accumulate points towards their season tally. The player at the top of the leaderboard at the end of the season is crowned the Hertz Crows Fans’ MVP.

Don’t forget, Crows fans can take advantage of 20 per cent off selected car rentals courtesy of Club partner Hertz. Click here for more information.
