Todd Goldstein (North Melbourne)
It is not often that a 10-goal performance doesnโt land you three Brownlow votes, but Ben Brown might just have to concede the extra vote to Todd Goldstein. Goldstein was immense in his battle against Portโs two-pronged ruck attack of Patty Ryder and Pete Ladhams, as the big man collected a career-high 34 disposals (19 contested), took three marks, won 28 hitouts (nine to advantage), and kicked a goal to top off arguably the best game of his esteemed career thus far.
Dustin Martin (Richmond)
Having somewhat struggled at the start of the season, Martinโs form in the second half of the year has been nothing short of outstanding. Since rediscovering the form that so famously lead him to a Brownlow Medal in 2017, Martin and the Tigers have charged back into premiership favouritism; with their win over the Eagles cementing their claim. Martinโs impact on the weekend was huge, as he gathered 35 disposals, 13 inside 50s, took four marks, laid four tackles and kicked a goal in the Tigersโ win.
Josh Dunkley (Western Bulldogs)
Dunkleyโs season just gets better and better every week with the emerging Bulldog once again dominating the midfield battle, this time away against the Giants. Dunkley tore his way through a helpless Giants core, amassing 31 disposals (13 contested), seven clearances, six marks, 10 tackles, eight score involvements and two goals as the Dogs jumped into the eight.
