Cynthia Hamilton has earned nine coaches votes this week after a strong return from injury in Round 4. The young midfielder made an immediate impact in Sunday's clutch win over GWS, finishing the match with 20 disposals, five tackles and two goals.
She was joined by two star Swans in Laura Gardiner, who closely followed on eight votes, and Sofia Hurley with two votes.
Last year's club champion finished the match with a game-high 32 touches and an impressive eight tackles. Meanwhile Hurley was crucial in generating turnovers with five intercept possessions and influenced the scoreboard with four score involvements.
Both Gardiner and Hurley have featured in coaches votes three of four rounds this season. This is Hamilton's first time nabbing votes this season.
