Tom McCartin

While a stat line of 13 disposals, eight marks and six intercepts doesn't scream off the page, his impact on the match did.

McCartin kept Brody Mihocek goalless and to no marks, nullifying the big forward's impact on the game.

Grant Birchall

Birchall was back to his scintillating best dominating the Gold Coast Suns throughout the entire match.

He finished the match with 26 disposals, 13 marks and 6 score involvements not only stopping his opponents but for using his lethal left foot to damage the other way.

Liam Baker

In a career-best performance, Liam Baker stared against the Giants making up for the multitude of injuries the club are suffering.

With a career-high 33 touches, 19 kicks and eight clearances performances like this might make a few injured tigers worried about their return.
