2. Caleb Windsor (+1)
The Demons speedster returned to form on Monday, albeit in a King's Birthday loss to Collingwood at the MCG.
Windsor was among the few highlights for Simon Goodwin's side, consistently offering some run and dash on the wing as Melbourne looked to spark some attacking ball chains.
The Pick 7 selection came away from the game with a career-high 21 disposals to go with seven marks and three score involvements against the Magpies.
