Brodie Grundy
After a year of ups and downs, Grundy put together one of his best performances of the season. While he always produces great stats, he dominated the ruck battle giving his teammates first use of the ball.
With 33 hitouts, 23 touches and a game-high nine clearances, Grundy proved that he is still one of the leagues predominant ruckman.
Clayton Oliver
While Petracca has gotten a lot of the credit, Oliver deserves just as much for the Demons historic start to the season. With one of the best game of ALL players this season, Oliver almost singlehandedly led his side to victory.

Clearances
38 disposals (27 contested), 13 clearances, 11 score involvements, eight inside 50s, eight intercepts and three goals his stat line and impact on the game needs to be seen to be believed.
Darcy Parish
For the second week in a row, Parish produced a best on ground performance. He continues on with his career-best season, adding to his already stellar resume.
Since Dylan Shiel injured his knee in Round 2, Darcy Parish has averaged 33 disposals a game for the next eight games. Including hauls of 35, 39 and 36 in the last three weeks. His story this year has been remarkable.
