Really tough to do but I'll give it a crack.....
1. Dustin Martin. Provided the x-Factor around the contests and playing fwd, team first effort. 28 high quality disposals and 2 goals.
2. Alex Rance - Towelled up Walker. Absolutely rock solid in defence which set the tone and context for the rest of the team to confidently play there game and and apply there attacking skills. Would have been a completely different game without him.
3. Jack Graham - destroyed the usually elite Sloane tagging him out u of the game after half way through the second quarter and kicked 3.0goals. Amassed a number of tackles as well as 16 damaging touches. All from a 5-gamer!
4. Houli - was shaky early with some poor decisions costing us which for mine cost him being in my top 3, but was brilliant after. Unleashed himself across half back and the centre. 23 disposals, 5 tackles and a goal.
5. Prestia. Was just always at the contest and used his awareness and toughness to bring others in the play. 25 quality touches, 3 tackles and a goal.
6. Riewoldt. Convincingly beat Talia and friends with contested Mark after contested mark. 6 marks in total, 6 tackles and 2 goals.
Apologies to many.

Thought Lambert was huge to, has come a long way this kid.

Totally agree. Lambert was outstanding.
-
Edwards was very good and Grimes was outstanding. Broad played his best game for the club.
-
Edwards was huge in the second. We needed some spark and he started getting his hands on it. Then I looked at the board and noticed he had 10 clearances. Flossy was massive after a couple wobbly moments in the first too. Grimes nullified Betts. How can you decide?!
-
In no particular order
Rance
Houli
Martin
Edwards
Lambert
Graham
apologies to Grimes, Prestia, Nankervis and a few others
-
In order:
Houli
Rance
Martin
Lambert
Edwards
Graham
But very hard to pick as it was such an even performance.
-
Reckon if Houli kicks those goals, he gets it. Martin in everything, Rance dominated down back, all worthy as were others.
-
As the game was played lambert and bacher were everywhere....as was my brain, after replay 3, dusty was pretty good...unf😱cnblvable

Totally agree, but if anyone of those players didn't play or got injured early, just about any other Tiger would have been able to be seen as filling the void.
Every player contributed, greatest Grannie I've ever seen. :thumbsup
-
They were all magnificent. Zero passengers.
-
Cotch was everywhere but nowhere, i feel he played an integral part and threw himself at it relentlessly but not mentioned in our top 6 by anyone...
-
Agreed , Cotchin has almost been the equal of Dusty this final series. Voss like .
-
Slid under the radar this game as he probably didn't affect the contest the way he has previous 2 games but was equally as important and played a good game

Slid under the radar like many others, totally agree.
This is what happens when you have a poo load of players that were all totally stuffing AWESOME!
Oh and did I mention "PREMIERS" how good is that :gotigers :cheers :bow :clapping
I love em all :-*
-
For mine in order
Houli - best game he has played
Martin
Prestia - his first half was brilliant
Rance
Graham
Edwards - see Houli
-
1. Dusty ... It's not just what he does but he attracts 2-3 opponents which opens up space for others.
2. Houli .... Best game he's played for us as WP said. Solid defensive marks and continually generated rebound for us. Gone are the brainfades.
3. Prestia .... Our 5th wheel behind the Big 4. Huge finals series.
4. Rance ..... Enough said.
5. Edwards .... Continually cleanly won the ball in traffic and drove it forward.
6. Cotch ..... selfless team game on top of winning the footy. Showed why he's our captain this finals series.
7. Lambert .... Has a Tiger in the tank. Just runs and runs. His game has improved to another level since midway through the season and has gone up again during the finals.
8. Grimes .... Importantly kept Betts quiet.
9. Jack .... Would be in the top 6 if he had kicked straight early. That massive grab after the Crows kicked the first two seem to settle the whole team down.
10. Graham .... Ice cool. 3 goals that never looked like missing. Then shut down Sloane after half-time. Amazing for a 5th-gamer.
