But none of them could match the brilliance of Nic Naitanui, who took one of the all-time great marks in the second quarter.
Naitanui leaped on the head of teammate Jack Darling to take a beautifully-timed grab in front of goal. He even cracked a smile as he got up from the mark and duly kicked truly.
As he left the ground following his successful shot, he caught a knowing glance with opponent and lifelong friend Chris Yarran, and patted him on the head as a friendly and justified gloat.
