WHO starred and who flopped in Round 4? We review every game to find the SuperCoach performers and failures.

EAGLES 125 def TIGERS 57

Eagles studs: Luke Shuey (151) put on a clinic the midfield after Matt Priddis was a late withdrawal. Andrew Gaff (132) and Elliot Yeo (129) starred in the one-sided affair, while Nic Naitanui warmed up in the second half to score 100.

Eagles duds: Chris Masten (51), Jamie Cripps (38) and Jackson Nelson (33) played bit-part roles.

Tigers studs: Alex Rance (146) can hold his head high after racking up 26 disposals and 11 marks under all sorts of pressure from the Eagles. Trent Cotchin (104) did enough with 24 possessions and four tackles, while Kamdyn McIntosh - a popular cash cow last year - scored 99.

Tigers duds: Shaun Hampson (11) sat out the second half with a corked thigh, while Andrew Moore (32) was hardly sighted in his first game in yellow and black. Shane Edwards (58) finished with 14 disposals.

Luke Shuey was dominant against Richmond.

BOMBERS 42 def by CATS

Bombers studs: David Zaharakis (129) top scored with 34 disposals, while Zach Merrett (123) continued his strong start to the season. James Kelly (111) showed his old side a clean pair of heels, while popular cash cow Anthony McDonald Tipungwuti (106) collected 23 disposals - 14 kicks.

Bombers duds: Joe Daniher (25) was hardly sighted, while exciting youngster Jayden Laverde (34) suffered what looks to be a serious shoulder injury. Michael Hartley (44) and Mitch Brown (57) did just enough.

Cats studs: Josh Caddy (112) was the pick of the Cats with Harry Taylor and Joel Selwood also scoring in triple figures. Boom recruit Patrick Dangerfield (99) was not his usually damaging self.

Cats duds: Popular trade choice Tom Ruggles (40) found the going tougher in his second AFL game. Zac Smith (42) took a nice mark in the first quarter but did little else to trouble the SuperCoach scorers. Mark Blicavs (51) and Tom Hawkins (66) failed to fire.

HAWKS 87 def SAINTS 84

Hawks studs: Sam Mitchell (141) collected a career-high 44 disposals - at 82 per cent efficiency - including 10 clearances. Jordan Lewis (117) laid six tackles to go with his 27 disposals and seven clearances, while Grant Birchall (102) was the only other Hawk in triple figures.

Hawks duds: Cyril Rioli (66) had 30 SuperCoach from four disposals at quarter-time but didn’t go on with the job. Luke Hodge (79) was a bit rusty but lifted in the last term to get his side across the line.

Saints studs: Leigh Montagna (110) and Shane Savage (110) put their slick skills and line-breaking ability to good use, while David Armitage and Jack Billings led the way in the midfield.

Saints duds: Jacks - Lonie (44) and Sinclair (54) - did just enough at sunny Aurora Stadium, while Jarryn Geary (72) spent most of the last quarter on the bench after a heavy knock.

LIONS 107 Def SUNS 94

Lions Studs: Pearce Hanley has made a hot start to the season and his 148 was a match-high score. Daniel Rich (114) rewarded those that persisted after he missed last week with an injury. Danye Zorko (117), Allen Christensen (106) and Ryan Bastinac (106) also reached triple figures.

Lions Duds: Liam Dawson was the Lions lowest scorer with 41, which was still better than six Suns. Anyone still have Ryan Harwood? He scored 65. Stef Martin owners would be spewing after the star ruckman was KO’d by Steven May. He was stretchered off just before half-time with 63 points to his name.

Suns Studs: Tom Nicholls was the Suns top scorer with 126. Aaron Hall continues to perform. Despite a slow start he racked up 114, equal with five-goal forward Tom Lynch. Gary Ablett’s 109 would have disappointed many who put the “C” on him but we can’t put the little master in the Duds section.

Suns Duds: Keegan Brooksby was almost invisible for much of the match and finished with just 25 points to his name. Popular rookie Ryan Davis had a strong start but disappeared after quarter time to finish with 37 points. Jack Martin was a popular trade target this week but could only manage 39 and Jesse Lonergan is now a must trade out after picking up a 60.

WESTERN BULLDOGS 85 def CARLTON 49

Bulldogs Studs: Lachie Hunter had it on a string on Saturday night, collecting 33 disposals and a goal for 124 points. Matthew Suckling overcame an early injury scare to rack up 122 points. Shane Biggs could be the big winner after Jason Johannisen’s injury as he finished with 120 off half-back. Johannisen ended up with 97 points despite injuring his hamstring in the third term.

Bulldogs Duds: Caleb Daniel was a left-field choice if you were looking to trade Brad Crouch. His 67 wasn’t ideal. Tom Boyd was the Dogs’ lowest scorer with 41. Jed Adcock kicked a goal but did little else as he finished with 53. Joel Hamling wasn’t much better with 56.

Blues Studs: Sam Docherty (104) and Kade Simpson (101) were busy off half-back and continued their good form. Patrick Cripps (96) was the only other Blues to reach 90.

Blues Duds: Nick Graham had a dirty night and rarely touched the pill as he managed a game-low 33. Marc Murphy copped a serious head knock and was forced from the ground with just 36 points to his name. New Blues Lachie Plowman (46) and Liam Sumner (45) showed promise but will want to boost their scoring to be considered as cash cows.

CROWS 113 def SWANS 103

Crows studs: Rory Sloane (131) starred with 24 disposals and 10 tackes. Eddie Betts (121) kicked the sealer which helped boost his score.

Crows duds: Brodie Smith (62) OUCH! Matt Crouch (73) had a heap of the pill but was unable to make the most of his opportunities.

Swans studs: Dan Hannebery (124) picked up a whopping 38 disposals - 14 contested - but operated at 68 per cent efficiency. Isaac Heeney (117) was huge with four goals. Luke Parker was on about 40 in the third quarter but recovered to reach 92, much to the relief of owners.

Swans duds: Tom Papley (23) might find himself back in the NEAFL after that effort. Just the five disposals at 60 per cent and two tackles. Kieren Jack (50) copped a knock early but recovered to play his part. Ben McGlynn (62) barely touched it after the main break.

GIANTS 151 def POWER 65

Giants studs: Plenty to choose from with eight GWS players scoring triple figures. Co-captain Callan Ward led the charge with 137 while Toby Greene rewarded owners who held on to him with 112 despite butchering several kicks. Dylan Shiel, Shane Mumford and Ryan Griffen were also great.

Giants duds: There’s only one man for this section. Heath Shaw incurred the wrath of 75,000 SuperCoach owners with his clanger-filled performance, giving away three goals directly from free kicks and 50m penalties. His final score of 70 was a lot better than it was looking for much of the game.

Power studs: The ball spent plenty of time in Port’s defence and Jasper Pittard mopped up a fair share of it, gathering 32 disposals and 118 SuperCoach points. Travis Boak’s 103 is his highest score of the season. Darcy Byrne-Jones will be a popular trade-in target this week after posting 97 in his second game.

Power duds: Robbie Gray let us down for the first time this year, failing to kick a goal and finishing with 74 points. He could also face match review panel scrutiny for an off-the-ball hit on Callan Ward. Ollie Wines (84) wasn’t much better and Aaron Young (59) couldn’t maintain his early season form. Charlie Dixon (29) just stank.

DEMONS 102 def MAGPIES 67

Demons Studs: Tomas Bugg was the surprise top scorer with 106. Anyone have him in Perfect 9? Max Gawn continues to produce for his owners, racking up 105 while Dom Tyson was the only other Demon to reach triple figures with 103. Jack Viney (97) and Jack Watts (93) were super in the win.

Demons Duds: Debutant Jayden Hunt could only manage 40 in his first game while Clayton Oliver didn’t fare much better with 41. Ben Kennedy has produced two shockers after a stunning start to the season and could now be on the trade block after scoring 64.

Magpies Studs: Scott Pendlebury led from the front, scoring 104. While he hasn’t been racking up huge scores like seasons past, he has at least been dependable enough for triple figures. Steele Sidebottom (102) and Adam Treloar (101) were the only other Magpies to break 90.

Magpies Duds: Jordan de Goey continued his lukewarm start to the season with a 68. James Aish was no better with 61. Jeremy Howe’s first game in black and white didn’t go to plan as he managed 53. Alan Toovey was the lowest scorer with just 36 but we don’t expect him to dominate.

KANGAROOS 132 def DOCKERS 101

Kangaroos Studs: Jarrad Waite was the No.1 SuperCoach scorer coming into Round 4 and continued his hot form with a team high 129. Jack Ziebell was huge in the win with 26 and two goals for 126 points. Todd Goldstein was the only other Kangaroo to reach triple figures with 121. Daniel Wells continues to produce, his 98, will see his price soar again this week.

Kangaroos Duds: Not much to see here. Shaun Atley was North’s lowest scorer with 46. Robbie Tarrant also failed to reach the half-century with 49. Owners would be entitled to be disappointed with Andrew Swallow (72) and Ben Cunnington (74).

Dockers Studs: Nat Fyfe was immense for Fremantle, scoring 141, along with Lachie Neale (120). Stephen Hill was the only other Docker to ton up with 105.

Dockers Duds: Tom Sheridan’s 53 hurts his owners and a big price drop will only add insult to injury. Hayden Crozier managed a game-low 30. Ed Langdon is still young but his 40, wasn’t his best work.
