Coaches' votes, R4: Port stars rewarded, Heeney's Brownlow omen (2024)

The coaches' votes are in for the round four games

By Martin Smith

PORT Adelaide pair Connor Rozee and Jason Horne-Francis have picked up 18 coaches votes between them from their dominant performance against Essendon, while Sydney's Isaac Heeney has opened up a staggering 16-vote lead at the top of the standings.

Rozee picked up 10 votes for his masterclass against the Bombers on Friday night, while Horne-Francis was given eight votes.

Christian Petracca, Shai Bolton and Jordan De Goey also picked up a perfect 10 votes each from the weekend's round of games.

Heeney and Errol Gulden split the votes in Sydney's win over West Coast, with each picking up nine. It has taken Heeney to 41 votes from five games this season, 16 ahead of Petracca in second spot, with the Swans to have a bye this weekend.

Heeney is only the fourth man since 2006 to poll more than 40 votes from his first five games of the season, joining Gary Ablett jnr in 2009, Nat Fyfe in 2015 and Lachie Neale in 2020.

In a good omen for Heeney, those three men went on to win the Brownlow Medal that season.
