Game breakers, pressure kings, role players and star power.
You need them all to take home the premiership cup, and there's plenty of names who have a chance to add a significant chapter to their legacy on Saturday.
Coming off a generational performance, Patrick Dangerfield looms as a key figure for the Cats and a player the Lions will need to shut down in our below rankings.
Dual premiership midfielder Josh Dunkley is rated much higher than most might have him, but he is often discussed by those from within the Lions as a significant facilitator for the rest of the midfield, and his pressure is suited to finals.
We've put only Harris Andrews as more important, given he'll spearhead a defence which will need to limit the impact of Jeremy Cameron, Shannon Neale and co.
Hugh McCluggage and Cam Rayner both have game-breaking ability, with the latter able to tear games apart and seize big moments, while Geelong pair Bailey Smith and Max Holmes have a comparable capacity to wrench momentum.
Despite being in just his third year at the top level, Will Ashcroft looms as a key piece, coming off a strong preliminary final and with a Norm Smith Medal to his name, is a key part.
Dual Brownlow medallist Lachie Neale is a tough one to place, but his importance is measurable in a different way; there will be significant ramifications should his body let him down.
Second year forward Logan Morris is another Lion with a big role to play, and he relishes the big stage, but his partner in crime Ty Gallop announcing himself in the preliminary final takes a small weight off the youngster's shoulders.
Oisin Mullin is an oft-unheralded role player but will have an important nullifying position to fill given Brisbane's plethora of game-breaking options.
The old adage is that it's the last six players selected who win you a premiership, but you need your star power to fire.
