QAFL and QAFLW: Top performers, stats leaders, players to watch

After five rounds, these are the players dominating Queensland football in the QAFL and QAFLW. Check out the top performers here.

With Round 5 of the QAFL and Round 3 of the QAFLW completed, let’s take a look at who is dominating the statistics.

We’ve once again narrowed down our top 20 QAFL and top 10 QAFLW top performers using official AFLQ statistics.

Plenty of familiar names returned to the QAFL’s best performers for a second week including a pack of Wills in Wilston Grange’s Will Martyn, Sherwood’s Will Fletcher, Noosa’s Wil O’Dwyer and Aspley’s Will Wolbers.

In the QAFLW, a whole new group of ball magnets and tackles queens led by three Southport Sharks stars paved the way.

Check out the ones to watch ahead of QAFL Round 6 and QAFLW Round 3 this weekend, in no order.
