1. Luke Breust (Hawks)
With 45 goals for the season, small forward Luke Breust has managed to kick 40 or more goals for the fourth consecutive year.
The 24-year-old Hawk has been a key component up forward this season – and leads the club’s goalkicking table.
Over the past nine weeks, Breust has been deadly accurate – kicking 22.2 – and will be out to continue that form against the Power.
2. Patrick Ryder (Power)
Patrick Ryder, Port Adelaide’s big off-season recruit, had one of his best games for the club last week.
The 27-year-old ruckman-forward had 46 hit-outs and 17 disposals against GWS Giants, stepping up to the plate in the absence of fellow ruckman Matthew Lobbe.
Over the past month, the mobile big man has started to recapture some of his best form – and the Hawks will need to be wary of him tonight.
3. Bradley Hill (Hawks)
Dynamic Hawk Bradley Hill will be looking to bounce back from a couple of quiet games against the Power tonight.
The 22-year-old Hawk averages just shy of 20 disposals per match this season, but has averaged just over 12 disposals per match over the past three weeks.
With his ability to break the lines, Hill has the ability to break games open, and the Hawks will be hoping he can light up Etihad Stadium.
4. Travis Boak (Power)
Port Adelaide captain Travis Boak was best on ground when his side defeated the Hawks in Round 4, and he will be out to have a similar impact for his side tonight.
The 27-year-old has played all 19 games for the Power this season, averaging 25.6 disposals per match.
He ranks first at the Power for disposals in 2015, and second for contested possessions, clearances and tackle.
5. Cyril Rioli (Hawks) v Chad Wingard (Power)
They won’t be going head-to-head – but match-winners Cyril Rioli and Chad Wingard will be determined to have a say on the result tonight.
Among the best small forwards in the competition, Rioli and Wingard are both having outstanding seasons.
Wingard leads the Power’s goalkicking table with 47 majors, while Rioli has 32 goals – six of which came against Geelong last week – and ranks second in the competition for score assists.
