Josh Kennedy has been lauded for his best on ground performance against Port Adelaide on Saturday night receiving the full ten votes in the AFL Coaches Association Player of the Year award.

Kennedy finished with 36 disposals, 11 clearances and nine tackles in a complete performance right across the ground.

Both coaches gave Kennedy maximum votes as he worked alongside Dan Hannebery and Kieren Jack to provide important drive and defensive pressure around the contest within the Swans midfield.

Jack (seven votes) and Hannebery (six votes) were both in the votes alongside Dane Rampe who received five votes for his role off half-back.

Craig Bird and Jarrad McVeigh rounded out the vote getters collecting a tick each for their strong performance against the Power.
