3. Caleb Windsor (-)
Went head-to-head with one of the most experienced wingmen in the competition in Liam Shiels on Saturday night, with Windsor and his opponent often caught on the quieter wing during the thrilling clash.
The Demons youngster managed to collect 10 disposals and laid six tackles to further develop his defensive game in his rookie season.
Windsor could only move the ball at 60 per cent efficiency under trying conditions, leading to five clangers on the night.
