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.
8. Sydney Swans
Parker has been a massive key to the Swans' success throughout the course of the last decade.
While his numbers may not blow the mind in accordance with some others on this list, every team would love a player like Parker on their side heading into a critical finals matchup.
His leadership and consistency are a couple of Parker's most valuable traits. Although, with the likes of Chad Warner and Errol Gulden, among others, coming through the ranks, this mantle may not be Parker's for much longer.
Finals numbers: 19.0 disposals, 5.5 tackles, 4.0 clearances, and 9.6 contested possessions per game.
