The Player of the Round takes into account a number of factors, including the weight of numbers and overall impact on the result of a game.
And based on the sheer weight of numbers, it's hard to go past the only player to blitz the 200 ranking-point mark twice this season.
Frazer Dale's monstrous 43-disposal outing in Mansfield's 33-point win over Tatura ensured the Eagles take a three-game buffer in sixth spot with five games to play, making finals a hard ask for Shepparton Bears in seventh.
Dale's performance was the third occasion where a player passed the 200-point range this season, bettering his own mark back in round three. The only other player to achieve this feat is Rochester's Mitch Cricelli (238).
Dale and Cricelli are bankable forces for their respective teams, and the next two names on the list are ones their respective fan bases won't get sick of seeing any time soon.
The first is Joe Atley, who played a pivotal role in Rochester's thrilling one-point win over the Bears out at Moon Oval.
Atley has become renowned for racking up big numbers for the Tigers, shaping up as one of the Morrison Medal frontrunners and being beloved internally for his attack on the footy.
But beyond the statistics, Atley's last-gasp set shot on goal in the dying stages of the game ensured teammates Mitch Bright and Will Hamilton walked away from games 200 and 50, respectively, with famous wins, delivering the Tigers their third win of the year.
The second name on the list is Sam Reid. Echuca's co-coach tallied 29 disposals, two goals, and a litany of contested possessions in the Murray Bombers' top-of-the-table win over Kyabram.
Out at Deakin Reserve, Euroa forward Jett Trotter reinforced his status as one of the GVL's livewire spearheads with a five-goal, 29-disposal showing in the Pies' 96-point rout of Shepparton United.
