Back Pocket: Jake Lloyd
Yet another sensational game from the Swans half back. 31 touches and nine marks but it just wasn’t enough to get his team over the line.
Full Back: Tom Stewart
Stewart showed once again why he is one of the most improved players in the competition with 22 disposals and 13 marks in the Cats’ backline.
Back Pocket: Aaron Francis
The young Bomber’s marking ability is very impressive. He took 11 marks, six of which were contested and one that will give Isaac Heeney a run for his money for Mark of the Year.
Half Back: Rory Laird
34 touches, 10 marks and a goal to finish the year from Laird. Consistent as always.
Centre Half Back: Joel Hamling
The Freo defender was their best on ground and was rock solid in defence for the entire game.
Half Back: Isaac Heeney
Heeney had another great game this week with 18 touches, 11 contested, and two goals.
Wing: Stephen Coniglio
Coniglio was the Giants’ best by a lap of the MCG. 32 touches, nine marks and two goals.
Centre: Patrick Cripps
Imagine what would happen to Carlton if they didn’t have Patrick Cripps essentially carrying their midfield all year. 37 possessions, 23 were contested.
Wing: James Harmes
James Harmes has been flying under the radar recently. He had 29 touches, seven marks and kicked a goal in the Dees’ big win over GWS.
Ruck: Max Gawn
Max Gawn was simply too good for Rory Lobb winning the hit-out tally 37 to 12.
Rover: Patrick Dangerfield
Patty Dangerfield reminded everyone just how much of a superstar his is on the weekend with 34 disposals, nine marks and four goals.
Ruck Rover: Jack Macrae
Macrae had another 43 touches against Richmond on the weekend and if he hadn’t had missed a month of footy, he’d be right up there in the Brownlow. Outstanding year.
Half Forward: Jamie Cripps
Cripps starred for the Eagles on the weekend with 23 disposals, eight marks and three goals.
Centre Half Forward: Brody Mihocek
This time last year, Brody Mihocek was playing in the VFL and now he’s a key cog in Collingwood’s premiership tilt. He kicked three goals including the sealer.
Half Forward: Christian Petracca
Petracca has found his groove at AFL level as a dangerous forward who can float through the midfield. He had 20 touches and kicked three goals.
Forward Pocket: Liam Ryan
Liam Ryan continued his good run of form in his breakout year with another three goals.
Full Forward: Josh Jenkins
Jenkins kicked a handy seven goals in the Crows’ 104-point belting of the Blues.
Forward Pocket: Justin Westhoff
When the Power looked to be done and dusted, the Hoff stood up and kicked three goals straight to get his side back in the game.
George Hewett
Hewett has made a name for himself at AFL level as a tagger. He shut down ball magnet Tom Mitchell who only had 24 touches which is well below his average for this year.
Trent Dumont
North Melbourne have found one in Trent Dumont who had 37 touches against the Saints to finish the season.
Brodie Grundy
He’s had a superb year and has hardly played a bad game and this was no different. Sean Darcy won the hit-out count but Grundy was completely dominant around the ground.
Steele Sidebottom
With another 32 touches, Steele Sidebottom has been making a great case for the AA all year.
