THREE IRISH PLAYERS have received coaches votes after round six of the AFLW season in the race for the AFLCA Champion Player of the Year Award.
Brisbane’s Orla O’Dwyer, Fremantle’s Aine Tighe and Collingwood’s Sarah Rowe all received votes after last weekend.
The AFL Coaches Association AFLW Champion Player of the Year is an award voted by the AFLW senior coaches on a 5,4,3,2,1 basis after each home and away game, acknowledging outstanding effort to an individual player in a season.
It means O’Dwyer, who received seven votes after their victory over St. Kilda on Sunday, is now 12th overall on 25 votes. Tighe received five votes. The Leitrim star has been awarded for three games in a row.
Rowe earned one vote after Collingwood overcame West Coast on Sunday.
