Here are our reporters' selections:

CALLUM TWOMEY
5. Jesse Hogan 
Dominating a forward line is no mean feat at 20. Hogan is a star now and will be for the long term. 
4. Patrick Cripps
3. Isaac Heeney
2. Angus Brayshaw
1. Harris Andrews

TRAVIS KING
5. Jesse Hogan 

Booted 44 goals, took the third most contested marks in the AFL and beat some of the league's best defenders. Enough said.
4. Patrick Cripps
3. Dom Sheed
2. Billy Hartung
1. Cam McCarthy

PETER RYAN
5. Patrick Cripps 
Battled against the odds and won the Blues matches. He has poise, class and courage and shapes as a natural leader. 
4. Jesse Hogan
3. Isaac Heeney
2. Dom Sheed
1. Darcy Lang

NICK BOWEN
5. Jesse Hogan 
Key forwards are meant to take time to develop, but the 20-year-old was third in the AFL for contested marks this year and the Demons' leading goalkicker. A dead-set star in the making.
4. Patrick Cripps
3. Isaac Heeney
2. Dom Sheed
1. Adam Saad

NATHAN SCHMOOK
5. Patrick Cripps 
Already one of the game's elite inside midfielders, he has filled the boots of the great Chris Judd since his retirement, which few could do.
4. Jesse Hogan
3. Dom Sheed
2. Isaac Heeney
1. Touk Miller  

HARRY THRING
5. Jesse Hogan
It's been a remarkable year for the key forward, who has shown tremendous maturity and talent to boot 44 goals and rank third in the entire League for contested grabs.
4. Patrick Cripps
3. Dom Sheed
2. Jake Lever
1. Touk Miller

JENNIFER PHELAN
5. Patrick Cripps 
Very tough between one and two but Cripps' consistency over the season, ability to fill the hole left by Chris Judd in a midfield often beaten, and the fact he averaged more contested possessions than Joel Selwood and Luke Parker means he should get the nod – narrowly.
