Seven Bulldogs shared in the AFL Coaches Association votes from Sunday’s win over the Fremantle Dockers.

No Fremantle players polled votes from either of the Senior Coaches presiding over the combatants in the Easter Sunday clash.

Luke Beveridge and Ross Lyon both allocated votes five down to one, for the players they believed were best afield.

Half-back Shane Biggs and All Australian forward Jake Stringer polled the equal top votes, claiming seven each.

Biggs recorded a career-high 35-disposals in a best-afield performance, while Jake Stringer was an imposing force inside forward 50m kicking five goals.

Meanwhile in his return game, Tom Liberatore’s 25 disposal, four clearance and seven inside 50m performance earned him five votes from the coaches.

Jason Johannisen’s eye-catching 35-disposal, one goal performance also earned him five votes.

Luke Dahlhaus (3), Bob Murphy (2) and Jack Macrae (1) also polled votes from the coaches.
