The race to the final eight is on and the competition's best have stood tall in some big moments to win games for their side, and a spot in Zero Hanger's preliminary rolling All-Australian team.
Only four matches remain for outside contenders to make a final push, but plenty of names look to be set in stone.
Nick Daicos, Marcus Bontempelli, Toby Greene and a few others are in the team with an inarguable case to their name, while others will need to keep up their form for a little while longer to cement themselves.
Here's how our rolling All-Australian side reads after Round 20...

1. Defenders
Two changes have been made to the rearguard as Harris Andrews and Charlie Ballard make room for Sam Taylor and James Sicily, who has been lifted from the interchange bench.
Should Sam Taylor play out the remainder of the season, he will have fielded 16 matches, one more than Ablett in his 15-game All-Australian campaign in 2014.
Taylor has clearly been the number one defender in the competition when he has played, having lost just five 1v1 contests out of a whopping 51 from 12 matches.
Add that to his 4.2 intercept marks per game and 2.3 contested marks per game, and we begin to understand why some tout him as potentially the generational backman of this era.
James Sicily has significantly added to his football resume this season with standout intercepting and kicking performances from the top shelf, and as captain of a side often punching above their weight.
He was a stiff omission from last year's side and will still need to take the field in the remaining matches to lock himself in, but his value is unquestioned.
Dan Houston, Nick Daicos and Jack Sinclair all keep their spot having maintained their quality form, the only question could revolve around Daicos and his midfield minutes through the back half of the season.
Off the interchange bench, Tom Stewart has had a comparable year to James Sicily, at times holding up the Geelong defence on his own and being often being employed as Chris Scott's Mr. fix it.
Jordan Dawson also features as a potential half-back roamer.
