Defenders

Back Pocket - Sam Docherty (Carlton)

Another fantastic week in what has been a career year for Sam Docherty. He collected 28 disposals, took 11 marks, had five clearances, and six rebound 50s. He also helped keep the Tigers to a relatively low score considering how many entries they had.

Full Back - Nathan Brown (St Kilda)

An excellent effort from Brown to keep Tom Lynch goalless in their clash with the Suns. He only had six touches himself, however the ability to null the effect of a powerhouse forward like Lynch earns him a spot in the side.

Back Pocket - Zach Tuohy (Geelong)

Zach Tuohy was again one of Geelong's best players, delivering for the Cats in a tight game. He finished the game with 28 touches, eight marks, five rebound 50s, four score involvements, and two goals. Not only in the team of the week for round 14, but looks likely to be an All-Australian.

Half Back - Steele Sidebottom (Collingwood)

Steele Sidebottom produced a fantastic performance despite his side going down. He had 36 disposals at an 81% efficiency, and also managed eight marks, and six score involvements. He was a crucial figure for Collingwood, and helped keep the margin respectable.

Centre Half Back - Heath Grundy (Sydney)

The Sydney defender was crucial throughout their come-from-behind win over Essendon, and rightfully takes his place in this side. He collected 26 disposals (88% efficiency) and claimed eight marks. He also played a big part in keeping the big name Essendon forwards quiet.

Half Back - Jake Lloyd (Sydney)

Another crucial part of the Sydney comeback, Lloyd played some terrific football in round 14. He ended the game with 31 disposals, 10 marks, and seven rebound 50s. He consistently found the ball when it was needed, and for the most part used it very well.
