For every Jordan Dawson, there are two of James Borlase.
The role-players who do their role every week with minimum of fuss and without the headlines.
Every club has the players you hardly hear about and they facilitate the stardom of the competition's elite players.
The old saying goes that it is the bottom six of any given lineup that goes a long way to determining how far each team goes so we've named a player from each side who is performing admirably and not getting their flowers.
North Melbourne - Jack Darling
As skipper, there is always plenty of attention on Nick Larkey, while Cooper Trembath's rise has been well documented, but Jack Darling has been an important piece alongside them. His experience has limited opponents' ability to check Trembath and he is regularly hitting the scoreboard and has found another wind since arriving at Arden Street. Darling has 19 goals and the pair have combined for 72 goals between them, with the triple threat hard to stop for any defence.
