Henderson gets a lot of Uncontested footy and may not poll votes because of it.

(Fremantle by 1 Point)

1 Vote (Fremantle) Bradley Hill (3)

The Dockers have 4 or 5 players that have the skills that are needed to play finals football. Hill is one of these and he was one of the Dockers best in a narrow after the siren win. 757 Metres gained and 26 of his 31 Disposals were kicks. He also had 8 Score Involvements and was a significant factor with his run and carry throughout the match.

2 Votes (Brisbane) Harris Andrews (2)

The best defender on the ground, Andrews kept the Dockers star forward recruit Jesse Hogan very quiet. 11 of his 15 Disposals were Intercept Possessions and when he did get the footy he used it at 93% Efficiency. 4 of his 10 Marks were also contested in what was a solid display from the Brisbane Defender.

3 Votes (Fremantle) Michael Walters (8)

The Match winner with a winning poster after the siren Walters was probably the best Docker on the Field. Luke Ryan and Nat Fyfe were solid for most of the day, but Walters was in the thick of the action when the game mattered. 18 of his 25 Disposals were kicks and he had 9 Score Involvements and kicked 2 goals to go along with the winning point. He also had the 6 inside 50s in a difficult game to give votes.
