INTERCHANGE
Jarryd Lyons (Brisbane Lions)
An All-Australian smokey, Lyons just continues to get the job done for Brisbane. One of the Lions' headline recruits from last season, Lyons had 28 possessions (19 contested), nine clearances, four marks, 11 tackles and kicked a crucial late goal as the Lions’ wrestled top spot from Geelong on the eve of September action.
Scott Pendlebury (Collingwood)
Mr Consistent. Pendlebury was once-again incredibly impressive in Collingwood’s win over the Crows at Adelaide Oval on Saturday evening, recording 34 touches, taking 10 marks, laying six tackles and having 10 score involvements in the Pies' 66-point win.

Patrick Lipinski (Western Bulldogs)
The young Dog has played a mature role throughout the second half of the season, and has played a crucial part in their run toward September. Lipinski finished with 27 disposals, took seven marks, laid seven tackles and booted two majors in the Dogs' win.
Elliot Yeo (West Coast)
Another huge effort from Yeo, who has well and truly cemented his spot as an elite midfield this past season. Yeo won an enormous 15 clearances amongst his 26 possessions, of which 18 were contested. The hard-nosed midfielder also laid eight tackles, had six inside 50s and took a respectable five marks in his side’s narrow loss to the Tigers.
