Forward Line
Patrick Dangerfield
Dangerfield has continued with his recent impressive form starring for the Cats in the Grand Final rematch. He was all over the ground hitting the scoreboard and generating opportunities for his other forwards.
To go along with 28 disposals, he also had 6 marks, 7 tackles, 7 clearances, 7 score involvements, and 6 inside 50s. With Danger rounding into form towards the end of the season, the Cats are looking dangerous and one of the biggest chances to take home the premiership cup.
Max King
King was unstoppable against the Eagles, grabbing 8 contested marks with the opposition having no answer for him.
He managed to kick a career-high 6 goals, as he manages to shake the goal kicking inaccuracies that plagued him earlier in the season. Here is a highlight package of his dominance throughout the game.
The Saints fell short, but Max King was amazing with six goals and eight contested marks ๐

Tarryn Thomas
Thomas continues to impress with a career-best four-goals against the Blues. Being a lethal combination with Larkey, the pair tore the game open as the Kangaroos took control of the match in the second half.
In an all-around performance, he also gathered 23 disposals, 7 inside 50s, 9 score involvements, 87% efficiency, 5 tackles and 5 clearances. He provided North fans with a lot to look forward to, by hitting the scoreboard and generating multiple opportunities for his side with repeated forward 50 entries.
Never leave Tarryn Thomas alone at the back of the pack ๐ค#YokayiFooty | #AFLBluesNorth pic.twitter.com/QUXlOrlIAW

Isaac Heeney
Heeney was the clear best on the ground being the main difference between the two sides. In an incredible display, he changed the momentum of the game as he begins to take over and hit the scoreboard.
Kicking 5 goals and collecting 22 disposals, he also grabbed 11 marks, 8 score involvements and 403 metres gained. Of his 11 marks, this hanger below not only swung the game in the Swans favour but is a mark of the year contender for 2021.
HEENEY HANGER OH MY GOD!

Nick Larkey
Larkey was the best performing forward of the weekend, kicking 7 majors and helping his side inch closer to moving out of the last place.
He also managed to obtain 20 touches, 8 marks, 13 score involvements, 3 inside 50s and 3 intercepts as he showcased his versatility and ability to impact the game in front of goal and around the ground.
That's a career-best six for Nick Larkey!

Taylor Walker
After a few quieter performances, Tex was back in the thick of the action with another starring performance.
With Coleman leader Harry McKay out for the round, Walker utilised the opportunity to decrease the gap with a four-goal haul.
