Forward Line
Christian Petracca
Brownlow Medal fancy Petracca continued his exceptional 2021 form during Melbourne's win over the Power. Salem had a busy night, collecting 33 disposals, 7 clearances and three goals in the best on ground performance.

Tim Membrey
With Membrey alongside Max King in the forward line, things finally started clicking inside 50 for the Saints against Brisbane. The Saint kicked two goals in the 32 point win and had 17 disposals.
Membrey, who has begun to drop back at the end of each quarter, has been instrumental in maintaining the Saints' high pressure game, registering six pressure acts. Of his 14 marks, five were inside 50, while he had eight score involvements.
A very classy goal from Membrey ๐ฅ

Jordan Dawson
Dawson was one of 11 goal kickers for the Swans in their upset win over the Dogs, but the only to kick three.
Normally a vital member of Sydney's back six, Dawson relished his opportunity up forward, taking six marks along with his 26 disposals. Dawson had three inside 50's and seven score involvements as he helped his side over the line.
Jamie Elliott
Injury plagued Elliott seemed to be back to his best form in the Pies win over the Tigers, collecting 21 disposals and six marks, three of those inside 50.
Elliott kicked three goals and had seven score involvements, including a goal to bring the margin to just 10 points in the last quarter.
Tom McDonald
It was a good night in the Melbourne forward line for McDonald, slotting 3.2 on a cold Thursday in Adelaide.
McDonald has kicked 27 goals for the season and is averaging 53.7% accuracy in front of goal. Against the Power, McDonald managed three marks inside 50 and 10 score involvements.
