Richmond superstar Monique Conti is off to a flying start in the coaches' votes, picking up a perfect 10 in the opening round.

The midfielder started her season in dominant style, playing a key role in the Tigers' six-point Round 1 win as she racked up 26 disposals, eight clearances, four tackles, three marks and one goal.

Twenty-three-year-old Coni, a four-time Tigers Best and Fairest winner, also kicked a classy goal in the second quarter in the second term to kick-start the Tigers' comeback. 

Also catching the eyes of the coaches was skipper Katie Brennan (seven votes), who led from the front with two crucial goals, the second of which levelled the scores with less than five minutes remaining. 

Rounding out the vote-getters were Kate Dempsey (four votes, 16 disposals), and Ellie McKenzie (three votes, 15 disposals), who both played key roles in the opening round victory.
