Sydney Swans trio Chloe Molloy, Montana Ham and Zippy Fish have earned votes from the coaches following the side's Round 9 defeat to Carlton at Henson Park on Sunday afternoon. 

While the Swans went down by 27-points, red and white star Chloe Molloy did her best to inspire her side, booting three majors for the afternoon - the fourth time this season Molloy has kicked at least three goals in a match.

Molloy opened her scoring with a long range set shot, before a moment of individual brilliance early in the second term, brushing off several opponents and breaking three tackles to kick a goal. Molloy again provided a spark for Sydney in the third quarter, snapping cleverly for her third goal as her speed and agility troubled the Blues' defence. She earned seven coaches votes and claims the most coaches votes as a Swans AFLW player so far this season.
