Errol Gulden is the only Sydney Swans player to earn coaches votes in Round 19 after a close defeat to the Brisbane Lions on Sunday. The star midfielder enjoyed another consistent outing at The Gabba and nabbed seven votes for his efforts. 

The 22-year-old was the primary ball winner for the Swans with 27 disposals, only trailing Brisbane's Dayne Zorko on 29 disposals. Gulden also finished the game with a game high seven inside 50s, six score involvements and one goal.

His steady rise to form this season now sees Gulden fifth on the overall coaches votes leaderboard.
