At first, I didn't think it was real. I woke up to this blinding light, and I was transported to another place.

Hey, I like your new RAV4.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:32)
Thanks, yours too.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:33)
What does RAV stand for anyway? To me, it's the remarkably advanced vehicle.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:39)
Really?

**SPEAKER_2** (0:39)
To me, it's the runway approved vehicle for its amazing style. What about remarkably adaptable vehicle because of its versatile cargo space? Or really admired vehicle?

**Mark Duffield** (0:48)
Oh, or really awesome vehicle.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:51)
It really is the recreational activity vehicle. The stylish 2026 Toyota RAV4 Limited.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:57)
What's your RAV4?

**Mark Duffield** (1:03)
Welcome back to the SENWA studio. We're getting near the end of the show. It is time for take five. And today we're dealing with the superstars of the competition, the midfielders. Some pretty good names in here and an apology on top of an apology. So I'm looking forward to it, Duff, number one. Yes, a piled apology.
Marcus Bonson Pelley, two goals, 24 disposals, seven tackles, six clearances, 474 meters gained, eight score involvements, four intercept possessions, and the kick of the game against Hawthorne the other night. The kick back into the middle that opened up the pathway to the Tim English goal that was critical to the doggies winning the game. He's very good. Number two. Luke Jackson, totally dominant against North Melbourne. It helped that North left the field halfway through the second quarter and went to the beach at Margaret River. Three goals, 19 disposals, four marks, 22 hit outs, four clearances, 182 metres gained, 13 score involvements.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:59)
Just one of the great goal celebrations whenever he kicks one as well.

**Mark Duffield** (2:02)
They're not going to catch him, he's off and running, try and catch up with him. Number three. Number three, Lockie Neil, 37 disposals, five marks, three tackles, 10 clearances, 470 metres gained, 10 score involvements, six intercept possessions, second best player on the ground, in the game that I like to call Tropic Thunder. Number four. Number four is Isaac Heaney. Absolute class when the game went on the line against St Kilda.
So many times he got the ball under extreme pressure in the last quarter, sometimes on his non-preferred side, never made a mistake. Two goals won, 30 disposals, six tackles, eight clearances, 443 metres gained, two goal assists, 10 score involvements, five intercept possessions.
One of the goal assists was the handball to Jai Sarong that won Sydney the game after he'd slipped Marcus Windager at that forward 50 stoppage. And number five. Sam Durham absolutely lit the game up in the first half in the Carlton Essendon clash in front of 76,000 at the MCG. A goal, 30 disposals, five tackles, 20 of those disposals in the first half, by the way, five tackles, three clearances, 442 metres gained, seven inside 50s, eight score involvements. And apologies for this week. Andy Brasher I thought was great. John Newcomb was great. I just had the bont marginally ahead of him over the four quarters. Jason Horn Francis who kicked three against West Coast playing as a mid forward. And an apology to Jordan Dawson. I'm classifying you as a forward because you were outstanding in the win over Geelong. But yeah, listen tomorrow.
