Crows captain Taylor Walker impressed supporters with his five-goal haul against the Gold Coast, receiving the most points in the fans’ Most Valuable Player voting.

The improved team performance was reflected in the voting with a number of players listed in the fans’ top three selections.

Walker picked up 30 points, his best return of the 2016 season. Tom Lynch was next best with 19, Daniel Talia received 11 and Charlie Cameron (7), Paul Seedsman (6), Brodie Smith (5) and Wayne Milera (3) were among the others to earn points.

Leader Rory Sloane increased his lead, earning another eight points to lift his season total to 181, nearly double second-placed Scott Thompson (92) and Josh Jenkins (91). Lynch has jumped into fourth place

Voting opens after every 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.
