Defenders
Back Pocket: Kade Simpsonย
Although at age 34, Simpson still provides the run and carry that is expected from any player. He was one of Carlton's better players on Saturday with 26 disposals, 11 marks and four rebound 50's.
Full back: Heath Grundyย
Grundy had a game high 12 marks against the Kangaroos whilst also collecting 22 disposals in the process. Going at 90 percent efficiency, Grundy had four rebound 50's while also keeping his direct opponent, Ben Brown, to only 1.2 off 12 disposals.
Back pocket: Tom Stewartย
What a find Stewart was two years ago for the Cats. He once again impressed on Friday against the Giants, with 24 disposals at 83 percent efficiency. Stewart also had five rebound 50's as well as 12 marks and 1.0.
Half back: Bachar Houliย
Bachar Houli was back to his best on Sunday with his trademark run and carry on full display. Houli had the 22 disposals, 1.1, seven score involvements and five rebound 50's.
Center half back: James Sicilyย ย
The fiery Hawk was back after his second suspension of 2018 and it looked like he didn't miss a beat. Scored an absolute bomb from outside 50 in the third quarter, whilst also collecting 29 disposals on the day, a game high, and 14 marks.
Half back: Angus Brayshaw
Its been a long road for Brayshaw with his concussions and lack of form, but it looks like he's finally cemented his spot in Melbourne's best 22. Brayshaw had 32 disposals and 1.0 in Sunday's win, along with nine score involvements and eight inside 50's.
