Kiara Bowers is one of three players in the running for the AFLW MVP of the Week for round five.

The elite midfielder is joined by Adelaide's Erin Phillips and Geelong's Kate Darby in the running for the honour that is voted on by the fans.

Bowers was outstanding against the Western Bulldogs in Freo's 18-point win, collecting 23 disposals, 16 tackles, five marks and kicking a goal.

She earned a perfect 10 votes for her efforts from both senior coaches on the day.

Fans can vote for Bowers here. Voting closes on Wednesday 6 February at 2pm WST.
