The race for the TAB MVP Award has started with coaches submitting their votes after each game played.
Coaches have to submit votes - 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 - after each game, and can vote for players from both teams. At the end of the home and away season, the top 10 vote-getters will go into the final vote for the TAB MVP of season 2019.
