Jack Riewoldt the best player of Round 21 as star Hawk maintains place atop 2018 rankings

ONE Richmond star was unstoppable in Round 21 but there were some performances you might have missed. See who Jon Anderson and Mark Robinson rated the Top 20 players from the weekend.

Jack Riewoldt has become so adept in other areas of his game that it’s only appropriate a bag came his way.

And it has put him into a battle royal with Ben Brown as Riewoldt tries to claim a third Coleman medal.

Riewoldt and his mate Dustin Martin sounded a warning siren to their September rivals as both beat up on the hapless Gold Coast Suns, but hey, form is form.

Equally as significant were the performances of ruckman Scott Lycett and midfielder Luke Shuey for the Eagles in their win of substance against a desperate Port Adelaide.

And speaking of substance, it was the class and versatility of Isaac Heeney and prolific ball-winning of Jake Lloyd that helped Sydney to a vital win over a Melbourne side that hasn’t yet learnt how to beat the big boys. They will.

Speaking of prolific ball-winning, Lachie Hunter and Jack Macrae of the Western Bulldogs would find a football in the Sahara desert, and then watched as The Bont found a way to goal.

Rory Lobb’s ruck performance against Sam Jacobs was significant for the Giants as they produce a comeback from a serious mid-season slump.

Then there was the running man Isaac Smith who provided a point of difference for the Hawks in their vital win over Geelong, while Essendon captain Dyson Heppell was everywhere for the Bombers over the Saints.
