This weeks footy was a breath of fresh air, free flowing and attacking football showed off just why the teams who made finals got there.

Four of the best games of the season made week one of the finals an exhilarating and energy sapping ride.

For none more so than the players, they had to give their all to put on such an incredible display, but which players stood above the rest? Which players stood up when it counted?

Here's our top ten players of the week.

3. Patrick Dangerfield (Geelong)

Dangerfield did all he could, he put everything he had into getting his team over the line. His goal in the third quarter where he collected the ball in the centre square, ran away from the chasing defence, taking bounce after bounce before tapping home from the goal square was nothing short of inspirational.

He maybe could've spent more time around the ball but he gave everything he had as always.
