Defenders

Back Pocket - Nathan Wilson (GWS)

Don't let his position on the ground fool you, Wilson was sensational as a two-way runner for the Giants, collecting 24 touches with seven inside 50s and a goal to compliment his six rebounds with 11 of his 24 touches intercepting an Eagles attack.

Full Back - Liam Jones (Carlton)

His influence in the defensive half is becoming more profound by the week. 16 one-percenters registered on the weekend while keeping Hawthorn skipper Jarryd Roughead to just one goal in a moral-boosting win for the Blues.

Back Pocket - Dane Rampe (Sydney)

Shutting Taylor Walker down at the Adelaide Oval is no easy task but that's exactly what Rampe did on Friday night which went a long way to Sydney stealing the four points. Aside from keeping Walker to just the one goal, he picked up 16 disposals and five rebounds of his own.

Half Back - Sam Docherty (Carlton)

Docherty continued his outstanding 2017 season with 31 touches at a super impressive 93.5% efficiency while taking 15 marks (round high) and having eight score involvements as the Blues beat the Hawks for the first time in 15 attempts.

Centre Half Back - Steven May (Gold Coast)

Generally when your side loses the inside 50 count by 40, you expect the gun opposition forward to kick a few. Not on Saturday night, however, when May kept Joe Daniher to just the one major and 10 touches while claiming 25 touches and eight rebounds of his own.

Half Back - Lachie Whitfield (GWS)

Instrumental through the midfield, Whitfield finished with 31 touches (84% efficiency), 10 marks, three clearances and a goal for his hard work, gaining 676m in the process.
