Forwards
Half Forward - Cameron Pedersen (Melbourne)
With the ink still drying on his new contract, Pederson justified the faith shown in him with a sensational performance across half forward, with 24 touches, six inside 50s and three goals.
Centre Half Forward - Charlie Dixon (Port Adelaide)
Came up in the clutch in a big way on Saturday to bury the Dogs. Kicked four goals - including two in the final term - in a dominant display in a pure key forward's game.
Half Forward - Bailey Dale (Western Bulldogs)
The young star might've cost himself a few extra dollars on the contract he signed earlier in the week after this performance, impressing in the absence of the injured Jake Stringer. Kicked four goals from his 14 touches while taking three marks inside 50.
Forward Pocket - Jacob Townsend (Richmond)
In his first game for 2017, Townsend booted six goals in Richmond's rout of Fremantle, taking five marks and laying four tackles in the process.
Has he given Damien Hardwick a selection headache come finals time?
Full Forward - Jesse Hogan (Melbourne)
Just weeks after breaking his collarbone, Hogan bagged six goals on his return in a performance that will go a long way to securing Melbourne a finals birth. He also plucked eight marks inside 50 for good measure.
Forward Pocket - Lance Franklin (Sydney)
Bobbed up at important stages and put his stamp on the game with 16 touches (12 contested), five marks and three goals, needless to mention one that will be replayed for generations to come.
