One of the unsung heroes in the Brisbane defensive line, Starcevich takes another scalp.

One of the defensive pillars of a strong Collingwood defence, Roughead kept Port players accountable all game.
Showing his instincts and read of the play, Roughead took 15 marks and 10 intercepts. He also finished with 21 possessions and was one of the main reasons Port Adelaide struggled to score all game.
Dawson had a significant impact on the match collecting 31 touches to go with 10 intercepts and six marks.
His greatest impact was with the ball in hand, as he managed a game-high 711 metres gained, leading all players on the ground by over 200 metres. Performances like this explain why the Adelaide Crows are ramping up their pursuit of the 24-year-old defender.
