A STAR trio remains tied for the Rookie Me Central Medal lead with only one Coates Talent League round left to play. Oakleigh Chargers captain Jagga Smith<\/a> joined Cooper Hynes<\/a> (Dandenong) and Josh Smillie<\/a> (Eastern) atop the tree on 16 votes after a best afield performance over the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

>> SCROLL for the Round 18 votes & leaderboard<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neither Hynes or Smillie turned out in Round 18 and were thus unable to add to their tallies. Only Smith, who gathered 42 disposals in a dominant display against Greater Western Victoria (GWV), and Bendigo’s James Barrat<\/a> yielded votes among the top 10, along with new entrant Lachie Jaques<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The results mean eight players are still mathematically in the running to take out this year’s award. Only one vote adrift from the top trio are Calder’s Damon Hollow<\/a> and Dandenong’s Harvey Langford<\/a>, while slim hopes remain for Barrat, Zak Johnson<\/a>, and Xavier Lindsay<\/a> on 13 votes apiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hynes and Langford will meet Lindsay’s Gippsland Power in the final home-and-away round, while Smillie and Johnson also lock horns. Meanwhile, Smith will have to fight for votes against a stacked Sandringham Dragons midfield consisting of prolific pair Levi Ashcroft <\/strong>and Murphy Reid<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
