ORAZIO FANTASIA (Essendon) – In for the second week running after a bag of five goals; the fourth of which came at the nine-minute mark of the last quarter and put his team in front for the last time. Also took four marks inside 50 and laid four tackles.
JEREMY CAMERON (Greater Western Sydney) – Kicked six to narrow the gap to just one behind Coleman medal frontrunner Josh Kennedy. Also took 12 marks and gave the Giants something in defence as well.
CHARLIE DIXON (Port Adelaide) – Gave the Power a strong target inside 50 where he found space to take five of his seven marks on his way to four goals.
JOBE WATSON (Essendon) – Stood tall in his second game back with 34 disposals and six clearances, and inspired his midfield teammates with an important three-quarter time message despite no longer holding the official captain title.
DANIEL MENZEL (Geelong) – Kicked four goals – including a converted set shot in the final term that cut the margin to six points – and moved the ball well, with his 14 disposals coming with an efficiency of 93 per cent.
JOSH KELLY (Greater Western Sydney) – Three goals, 27 possessions and a massive eight inside 50s summed up an excellent game from the 22-year-old, who had a hand in a total of 15 scoring involvements.
