Backs
Brad Sheppard will need to replicate his Round 15 display in Round 16 as West Coast have a danger game against the Western Bulldogs.
Sam Collins will play a key role in negating Eric Hipwood from the Brisbane Lions.
Harris Andrews will need to be at his best if the Brisbane Lions are any chance of beating Gold Coast.
Hayden Crozier should prove why he is underrated in Round 16.
Luke Ryan will be looking to curtail the influence of the Melbourne Demons forward line and create plenty of run off half back.
Jake Lloyd can provide plenty of run off a half-back flank against a Carlton team out of form in Round 16.

Midfielders
Jack Scrimshaw will be looking to replicate his Round 15 performance in Round 16.
Matt Crouch can prove why he has the potential to be an elite player of the competition in Round 16.
Sam Menegola has been extremely consistent. Menegola has played to his optimum level in the 2020 AFL season. Expect Round 16 to be no different against Essendon.
Forwards
Luke Parker will be looking to continue on from where he left off in Round 15 as he had an outstanding game against the Melbourne Demons.
Tom Hawkins should benefit from the bye against an inconsistent Essendon.
Ben Ainsworth received ten coaches votes in Round 14. Hopefully, he will prove that display wasn’t an aberration.
Jack Gunston will want to replicate his performance from Round 15 against the Adelaide Crows if Hawthorn are to beat St Kila in Round 16, in what would be a morale-boosting win.
Charlie Dixon will be looking to kick plenty of goals against the struggling North Melbourne.
