Forwards
Half Forward - Shaun Burgoyne (Hawthorn)
His 17 touches and two goals aren't the most eye-catching stats of all time, but Burgoyne was arguably the Hawks' best player on Friday night. His veteran presence was on show for all to see as he continues to thrive in what's meant to be the twilight of his career.
Centre Half Forward - Tom Hawkins (Geelong)
Tomahawk silenced his critics with an emphatic display on the weekend with 27 touches, 12 marks and a bag of six goals in the Cats win.
Half Forward - Jason Johannisen (Western Bulldogs)
Luke Beveridge's masterstroke move paid dividends on the weekend as 'JJ' snagged four goals across half forward. His 18 disposals went at 89% efficiency as well to round out a strong performance.
Forward Pocket - Joe Daniher (Essendon)
In a losing effort, Daniher claimed the Coleman lead behind a strong performance that included 11 marks and six goals. His prowess in the air and on the ground was on show as his breakout season continues.
Full Forward -ย Josh J. Kennedy (West Coast)ย
Kennedy continued the weekend of bags for key forwards, booting six of his own in the Eagles easy win. He also reeled in nine marks in a performance that keeps his Coleman Medal chances alive.
Forward Pocket -ย Daniel Rioli (Richmond)
Lit up Metricon in the opening term, kicking the Tigers' first three goals of the game as he finished with 16 touches, five tackles, and four marks with his pressure inside 50 a feature in a forward line sans Jack Riewoldt.
