The Western Bulldogs have enjoyed a clean sweep of the Round 10 coaches’ votes, following their 45-point win over the Crows in Ballarat.

Both Luke Beveridge and Matthew Nicks deemed midfielder Bailey Smith as the best on ground, handing him 10 votes for a 37-disposal, seven-tackle and six-inside 50 performance.

Tom Liberatore (33 disposals, seven clearances, five tackles) and Bailey Dale (36 disposals, nine marks, eight intercepts) were judged next best, receiving six votes each for their impacts.

Liam Jones polled four votes for his eight intercepts and four marks, while Caleb Daniel (30 disposals, six clearances, one goal) and Tim English (21 disposals, seven tackles, five clearances, 29 hit-outs) rounded out the votes with two apiece.

Despite not polling over the weekend, skipper Marcus Bontempelli remains in the top three overall – currently sharing runner-up with Melbourne’s Christian Petracca on 43 votes.
