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.

Collingwood - Roan Steele

Much has been spoken about the ability of mature-aged recruits to slot into the top level this year, but Steele is a player who is often overlooked in such discussions. For a club which has been criticised for relying on the same players repeatedly, Steele's contributions have been important. Runs hard both ways on the wing and is often a key part of the Magpies' ball movement when they are at their chaotic best. Has also become an opportune goal kicker for a side that lacks potency in the front half.
