MELBOURNE captain Kate Hore has received 10 votes from the coaches for her Round 5 performance, pushing her to the top five on the overall leaderboard. 

It was a classic skipper's game on Saturday afternoon, with the Demon giving it her all for the red and blue in a down-to-the-wire match at Alberton Oval. 

The Dees were defeated by a devastating two points but that wasn't without immense effort from Hore whose stats sheet is clear proof of her unbelievable talent. She amassed 27 disposals, three goals, 10 tackles, seven clearances and 618 metres gained. 

Hore now sits at equal fourth on the overall AFLCA Champion Leaderboard with a total of 32 votes from her five games. She sits alongside fellow teammate Tyla Hanks and Collingwood's Britt Bonnici. 

Tayla Harris (two) and Eliza McNamara (one) also received votes from the coaches during the Round 5 game.
