Forwards

Half Forward - Jamie Elliott (Collingwood)

The Pies livewire was all over the MCG on Saturday afternoon, playing a big hand in ending the Demons' season. 20 touches, 10 marks and three goals helped lift the Pies to a final-round victory.

Centre Half Forward - Ben Brown (North Melbourne)

The story of North Melbourne's season, Brown has announced himself as a bona-fide star of the future. He booted seven goals against the Lions to finish third in the Coleman Medal race.

Half Forward -  Jarryd Roughead (Hawthorn)

Arguably the football story of the year, Roughead bagged five goals to send Luke Hodge off in style. He also picked up 19 touches, took 10 marks (seven inside 50) and laid six tackles.

Forward Pocket - Sam Gray (Port Adelaide)

It was against a disgustingly bad Gold Coast side who managed just five shots as a collective but anytime you have nine scoring shots, you'll get in this side more often than not.

Gray kicked 6.3 from 24 touches and eight marks in a solid pre-finals tune up.

Full Forward - Lance Franklin (Sydney)

There's nothing to say here. He is Buddy Franklin and he is majestic.

25 touches. 10 marks. 10 goals. Greatest forward of all time?

Forward Pocket - Jacob Townsend (Richmond)

11 goals in two weeks from a kid who's playing just his second game for the season?

Townsend has made it almost impossible for Damien Hardwick to drop him for Richmond's qualifying final, doing an exception job of making Jake Carlisle accountable while punishing him on the other end.
