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.

Whilst some might expect either the super-experienced Callan Ward or All-Australian captain Toby Greene to take this mantle in their grasp, that's not the case.

Finals numbers: 24.5 disposals, 6.6 tackles, 4.6 clearances, and 14.6 uncontested possessions per game.
