ON THE podium. 

Patrick Cripps now sits in third place on the AFLCA leaderboard, polling an additional six votes in Round 18 during his milestone game. 

Cripps delivered 28 disposals, 11 clearances, eight tackles and a team-high 550 metres gained, as well as slotting two goals in what was truly a captain's game.  

This is the fourth game in a row that the 29-year-old has polled AFLCA votes (11 total for the year), putting together an impressive string of games in the back half of the year. 

Defender Jacob Weitering earned one vote for his dominant defensive performance, where the co-vice captain broke his record for intercept marks (eight), as well as picking up 21 disposals, 13 intercept possessions and 11 contested possessions.
