1. Jack Gunston (Hawthorn)
With another half-century in sight, Jack Gunston will be determined to continue his form near goal on Saturday.
The 23-year-old has kicked 48 goals from 21 games this season, and will be just one of two Hawks to play every home-and-away game (alongside Shaun Burgoyne).
With 7.1 in his past two matches – and 6.1 in his last match against Carlton – the Blues will want to be wary of the sharpshooting Hawk.
2. Andrew Carrazzo (Carlton)
Carlton veteran Andrew Carrazzo will play his last game in the navy blue on Saturday.
The 31-year-old will be determined to finish on a strong note in his 194th game, and 15th game this season.
Averaging 22.1 disposals this season, Carrazzo will be looking to compile one last consistent AFL performance.
3. Brian Lake (Hawthorn)
Hawks defender Brian Lake will play his 50th game in the brown and gold on Saturday.
It will be the durable 33-year-old’s 247th career game, and 17th game this season.
A prominent player in September in years gone by, Lake will be looking for another strong performance heading into finals.
4. Andrejs Everitt (Carlton)
Versatile tall Andrejs Everitt has arguably enjoyed his most consistent AFL season to date.
Now in his second season with the Blues, after stints at Sydney and Western Bulldogs, Everitt has managed 29 goals and leads his side’s goalkicking this season.
The 26-year-old has played every game this season and will be determined to finish the season on a high.
5. James Frawley (Hawthorn)
Defender or forward?
The first-year Hawk has proven he can have an influence at both ends of the ground, and impressed with three goals against Brisbane Lions last week.
Hawks coach Alastair Clarkson has hinted that Frawley is likely to spend time at both ends in this year’s finals series.
Now with 13 games under his belt in the brown and gold, it will be intriguing to see where he lines up against the Blues.
