Backs

Back Pocket - Phil Davis (Greater Western Sydney)

Keeping Tom Lynch quiet is no easy task but GWS' co-captain managed to do exactly that. He kept the Suns' star forward goalless while notching up 15 touches that included eight intercept possessions.

Full Back - Robbie Tarrant (North Melbourne)

28 touches (10 intercept)ย and nine marks for the 2016 best and fairest and kept Tom Hawkins' impact to a minimum when matched up on him one-on-one. He also gained a tick under 500m for the Roos, which went a long way to them nearly snatching the four points.

Back Pocket - Dylan Roberton (St Kilda)

26 touches, eight marks and four tackles for Roberton in a strong performance against a West Coast side looking to get the ball in quick and fast inside 50. He also had seven intercept possessions and five rebound 50s for his efforts.

Forward Pocket - Orazio Fantasia (Essendon)

With a bag of five, 'Razzle Dazzle' was impossible to ignore for a second week in a row. His forward pressure was again on show and kicked truly in the final quarter to put the Bombers back in front.

Buddy might've stolen the show with two pieces of brilliance but Reid's performance was vital in keeping the Swans in the game. He finished with a six-goal haul from 15 touches and five marks. Nine goals to start the season, don't sleep on this Swans key tall.
