A weekend of footy packed with statement wins, standout midfielders and a few jaw-dropping stat lines.
Ruckmen reminded us of their impact, forwards found form, and a few big names tightened their grip on the Brownlow race — while others threw their hats in the ring.
Here’s who we’ve got polling in Round 10:
Gold Coast v Hawthorn
Noah Anderson continued his push for All-Australian honours with a complete midfield performance up in Darwin.
His 35 disposals, 12 clearances, and 16 contested possessions — capped off with a goal — made him the clear standout.
Sydney v Carlton
Isaac Heeney was everywhere in Sydney’s win, racking up 38 disposals and slotting 2 goals.
The only blemish was his 5 behinds, but his influence across the ground was undeniable.
Collingwood v Adelaide
Josh Daicos continues to elevate his game in 2025, leading all players with 29 disposals in another tight Pies win.
Jordan Dawson flew the flag for the Crows once again with 27 disposals and a goal, keeping his Brownlow hopes alive.
Port Adelaide v Geelong
Jeremy Cameron reignited his Coleman campaign with a dominant 7-goal performance against Port.
Bailey Smith again showed his midfield value with 30 disposals and 7 clearances, continuing to build a compelling Brownlow case.
GWS v Fremantle
Shai Bolton gave the Dockers the early spark with 15 disposals and 2 goals in the first half.
As the game wore on, Fremantle pulled away, but Bolton’s electric start was pivotal to setting the tone in a 34-point win.
Western Bulldogs v Essendon
Bailey Dale had the ball on a string, racking up a season-high 49 disposals — the most by any player so far in 2025.
Tom Liberatore was enormous early with 24 disposals and a goal by halftime, but Dale’s complete game earns him the top billing.
Richmond v North Melbourne
Tristan Xerri continues to lead the way for the Roos, controlling the ruck and leading the game in clearances.
Another best-on-ground showing may have just locked him in as North’s leading vote-getter for 2025.
Brisbane v Melbourne
Melbourne produced one of the shocks of the round, upsetting Brisbane at the Gabba.
Max Gawn was instrumental, dominating the ruck and giving his midfield silver service.
Christian Petracca returned to form with 30 disposals and 7 centre clearances in a complete midfield performance.
West Coast v St Kilda
The Eagles finally broke through for their first win of the season, but it wasn’t for lack of effort from Rowan Marshall.
The Saints big man dominated the ruck and led the game in contested possessions.
Despite the loss, his influence around the ground was undeniable and still enough to claim the 3 votes.
