EXPLAINED: How Dally M voting works

Kyle Feldt: Cowboys v Panthers, Round 16

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it that thing AFL types call a ‘mark’? Nope, it’s Cowboys winger Kyle Feldt in full flight.

With the game in the balance and only 2 minutes on the clock, Michael Morgan kicks for Feldt who out leaps Josh Mansour and plucks the ball from thin air to score in the corner.

Feldt’s take was one of the best of the season.

Tariq Sims: Dragons v Panthers, Round 25

It was the individual play which kept the Dragons’ season alive with one round to play. A routine ball return from Penrith’s Dallin Watene-Zelezniak goes horribly wrong as he’s met by Tariq Sims in a one on one tackle.

Sims uses his brute strength to deliberately strip the ball and streak away to score what was the decisive try of the match.

Tariq Sims kept the Dragons’ seasona alive with his try.

Jordan Rapana: Raiders v Sea Eagles, Round 8

If there is one player who can find a spectacular put down it is this man ... and none are as spectacular as his try against the Sea Eagles in the 72nd.

Five-eighth Blake Austin’s kick to the corner looked to be going dead for all money but Rapana miraculously beats the dead ball line to ground the ball.

Rapana’s try was miraculous.

Bevan French: Eels v Bulldogs, Round 17

It’s a Bevan French special! After receiving a deft pass from the hand of Mitchell Moses, French only has eyes for the tryline.

He breaks through the line, backs himself with a chip over the Bulldogs defence and regathers to score a brilliant individual try.
