- Merrett’s milestone: A proud moment as the resilient captain marked his 250th game amid a tough season.
- George Hewett’s dominance: A game-best performance that underlined his midfield prowess.
- Ruck battle intensity: De Koning’s work around the stoppages and Essendon’s ruck duel were key telling moments.
