The month of September is filled with the memories of players who captured the hearts of fanbases with performances like no other.
Every team in the top eight has at least one of those players.
Some were simply born to be on the big stage, and this year's finals series will unveil the birth of newfound stars who will help lift their sides to the best of their abilities.
Here we break down each club's top player come finals.
5. Carlton
Unfortunately for the current-day Blues, not many listed players possess finals experience.
While most expect the likes of Patrick Cripps, Sam Walsh, and Adam Cerra to lead Carlton from the front this September, there is a general question mark over who will be depended on to perform for the Blues.
Zac Williams, who hasn't been available all year due to an early season-ending knee injury, is currently Carlton's best finals player numbers-wise. However, there's little doubt that will soon change.
Finals numbers: 19.0 disposals, 5.0 tackles, and 2.4 clearances per game.
