A bit of Take 5 action, and we've got the midfielders today. Four games to choose from, and there were some very good performances. All right, we'll start. It's going to be harder next week. There will be two games to choose from. There will be stars everywhere. Number one. Will Day. So really happy for this bloke. He was very emotional about it after the game. He was a tearful person, embracing his coach and his teammates. Twenty-four disposals, three marks, two tackles, eight clearances, five inside fifties, five score involvements, seven intercept possessions.

A stellar finals debu for Will. Number two. Luke Jackson. I thought that early in the game, it was almost him and Jordan Clarke versus Hawthorne when Freemantle were really struggling. He kicked a goal. He had twenty-two disposals, six marks.

How many hit outs? Twenty-six hit outs. Six clearances, five score involvements, three intercept possessions, and another strong game from Luke. Number three. Errol Goulden. Absolutely stellar for the Sydney Swans against Brisbane. If you didn't catch the third quarter goal, have a look. It's as good as any goal kicked in any game of AFL football this year. A goal, thirty-four disposals, four tackles, eight clearances, nine hundred and fifteen metres gained, ten inside fifties, eight score involvements, six intercept possessions. Number four. Isaac Rankin. I think the player of the last month in the AFL, two goals, thirty-four disposals, four tackles, seven clearances, seven hundred and eleven metres gained, five inside fifties and fourteen contested possessions. And number five.

Bailey Smith. Twenty-seven disposals, six tackles, three clearances, nine inside fifties, eight score involvements for the Cats.

SPEAKER_2 (2:38)

And an apology this week?

Mark Duffield (2:40)

Yeah. Roe Bottom.

James Roe Bottom for Sydney. Lost his first name there. That's all right. You go ahead. I've got a mental blank. So only the thirteen disposals, but did the stop job on Lockie Neal. Laid seven tackles, won seven clearances, and absolutely epitomised the Sydney spirit in the day.
