Kelly, Williams and Greene doubled up this week - also being named in AFL Media’s Team of the Week.
Shiel didn’t get a mention but co-captain Phil Davis featured after keeping star Bomber Joe Daniher to just one goal for the game.
PHIL DAVIS: Ventured up the ground for most of his 11 touches, but also took six marks and stood tall against Essendon's in-form forward Joe Daniher, who only kicked one goal.
ZAC WILLIAMS: Played through the midfield and up forward for a return of 25 disposals, three goals – including a crucial major in the last quarter – and six intercept possessions.
TOBY GREENE: Brilliant again with three goals and exceptional work in one-on-one situations. Has kicked 26 goals for the season to rank 10th in the League.
JOSH KELLY: Just keeps rising to the challenge despite the heavy speculation regarding his future at the GIANTS. Blew the Bombers away with a 22-disposal first half to end with a career-high 38 possessions at an impressive 86.8 per cent efficiency. Also kicked a goal and laid 10 tackles.
