Tom Hawkins has received maximum votes from coaches' Chris Scott and Ken Hinkley for his brilliant six-goal performance in Geelong's big win against Port Adelaide in Round 12.

The 32-year-old produced one of the most dominant performances by a forward in recent memory clunking seven contested marks and finishing with four goal-assists.

Hawkins' outstanding performance saw him move up to 19th on this year's AFLCA Champion Player of the Year Leaderboard, equal with captain Joel Selwood on 27 votes.

Hawkins' performance in attack would not have been possible without the efforts of his midfielders who dominated the possession count, and the defensive group who setup brilliantly behind the ball and kept Port Adelaide to just four goals for the game.

The Cats and Power clash in round 12

After spending most of the previous two games in Geelong's forward 50, Patrick Dangerfield started the game against the Power in the guts and was instrumental from the outset. 

He received eight votes after compiling 24 disposals, five clearances and a game-high 575 metres gained.

Mark Blicavs and Cameron Guthrie received four votes each.

The ultimate team man, Blicavs started on a wing before spending time in the ruck and down back. 

He led the clearance count for the Cats with six and finished with 21 disposals (86% efficiency).
