FOUR players are vying for three podium spots in the Rookie Me Central Medal count, with a pair of Dandenong Stingrays stars among them. One co-captain – Cooper Hynes<\/a> – is tied with Josh Smillie<\/a> for first, while the other – Harvey Langford<\/a> – shares equal-third with Damon Hollow<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

>> SCROLL for the Round 17 votes & leaderboard<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hynes’ two votes in Round 17 were enough to grant him pole position, as Smillie failed to add to his tally upon returning to action on Saturday. Langford also went without a vote, but Hollow bagged a pair to draw level with the Larke Medallist having inspired the Cannons to victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only other 10 top candidate to have polled votes over the weekend was Bendigo Pioneers swingman James Barrat<\/a>. Despite his side going down to Geelong, the 193cm talent was exceptional with 21 disposals, nine marks and a goal to move up to equal-ninth alongside Joe Berry<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dandenong midfielder Elwood Peckett<\/a> was our Player of the Week for his 25 disposals and five goals against Murray. He bagged a full three votes along with Eastern’s Christian Moraes<\/a>, who posted 27 touches and five goals to take his overall tally to 11 votes – just outside the top 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
