Tom Liberatore’s dominant display against Essendon on Sunday saw him receive seven votes in the round 16 AFL Coaches’ Association polling – the most of any Western Bulldogs player.

Finishing with 33 disposals, 11 clearances, six tackles and a goal, the 21-year-old midfielder earned votes from both coaches, bringing his season tally to 32.

Liberatore has now been allocated votes in six of his 15 games this season, as he continues to turn heads in a breakout year.

Both Adam Cooney and Dale Morris were also recognised for their contribution in the Bulldogs clash against Essendon on the weekend with two votes each.

While Cooney provided an experienced head through the midfield and in the back six, Morris’ dour defending was also praised by the coaches.

Ryan Griffen remains on the leaderboard, currently sitting on 47 points in equal tenth spot.
