FORWARD LINE
Marcus Bontempelii
Is there anything that the Bont can't do? In a night where other midfielders were collecting huge disposal tallies, Bontempelli spent more time up forward finishing with four goals and 10 score involvements.
He routinely is one of the bulldogs best players and has become the new Brownlow favourite.

Aaron Naughton
The Astro-Naught was at it again, with the Saints having no one that could stop Naughton up forward.
Kicking his highest tally of the year 5.4, if he could have easily finished with an even bigger bag of goals.
Nat Fyfe
Nat Fyfe was back to his best, spending more time in the midfield after a few weeks predominantly up forward. He still made an impact while up forward, including this crucial late-game goal.
With a game-high 19 contested possessions and 13 clearances, Fyfe dominated the inside versus the Swans. If the Dockers allow Fyfe more time in the middle, expect more appearances in the team of the week for the remainder of the year.
Robbie Gray
In a low scoring match, Robbie Gray managed to break through the Magpie's defence. Finishing with three goals Gray's impact on the scoreboard was vital in a slim one-point victory.
To go along with 18 touches and six marks, Gray kicked Port Adelaide's first two goals of the match after the team being kept goalless in the first quarter.
Lance Franklin
Footy is always better when Buddy is playing, and this game was no exception. As he edges closer to 1,000 career goals, his haul of six majors showed what he is still capable of producing at 34-years of age.

Fremantle had no answer for the big forward, as Buddy finished with 10 marks, 18 disposals and 10 score involvements. Now on 963 career goals, he only needs a couple more bags to join some of the greatest ever forwards on 1,000.
Zac Bailey
Zac Bailey produced a career-high four majors, as the Lions keep on rolling through the competition.

Quickly becoming a human highlight reel, Bailey produced this effort ducking and weaving through a Richmond defence that had no answer for him.
