Who kicked big bags this week?

There was little change at the top of the Coleman Medal race, albeit a bit of a tightening up for second place because of Nick Watson and Charlie Curnow kicking three each.

Adelaide's Darcy Fogarty stood out this weekend with five goals. 

There were four each for Chad Warner (Swans), Tim Taranto (Tigers), Lachie Schultz (Magpies) and Michael Frederick (Dockers).
