Interchange
Harry Mckay finished with 4 goals for the Blues, proving that he could be one of the best forwards in the game. Brad Crouch was prolific for the Crows. Michael Walters is one of the most underrated in the competition and he showed why in Round 5. Luke Parker was a positive to come out of the Swans Round 5 game.
