Jack Macrae is such a consistent performer for the Western Bulldogs. Macrae helped the Western Bulldogs win a close game against Gold Coast in Round 8.
Clayton Oliver is a player that showed why he is so highly regarded with a good display for the Melbourne Demons against Brisbane.
Sam Menegola displayed why he is one of the most underrated players in the competition.
