The Western Bulldogs have four selections in this week's 22 as seleted by AFL.com.au, with Marcus Bontempelli, Matthew Boyd, Caleb Daniel and Lachie Hunter outstanding in the last-minute victory over the Sydney Swans.

Gold Coast have had four players selected too, while the Swans and West Coast have three players in the team for round 15.

NICK MALCESKI (Gold Coast) – The veteran produced his best game in two seasons at the club with 30 possessions and 10 marks in defence, and also snuck forward for a goal.

ALEX RANCE (Richmond) – Fought hard for the Tigers as always, but even the All Australian defender's 16 touches and 14 sacrificial acts wasn't enough to stop Port Adelaide.

RORY LAIRD (Adelaide) – Provided plenty of run for the Crows again to pick up 25 disposals, and also gave excellent support to his fellow backmen and took 10 marks. 

MATTHEW BOYD (Western Bulldogs) – The former captain was outstanding across half-back in gathering 32 touches, as well as laying six tackles and having seven rebound 50s.

STEVEN MAY (Gold Coast) – The aggressive key defender had 23 touches and took 11 marks against the Saints, as well as eight rebound 50s for the winners.

KADE SIMPSON (Carlton) – Another 28 possessions at 89 per cent efficiency for the running defender on a tough night for the Blues and their backline.

LACHIE HUNTER (Western Bulldogs) – Had 31 possessions, five clearances and four tackles in another hard-working performance, and kicked a crucial third-quarter goal.

TRAVIS BOAK (Port Adelaide) – Port's skipper inspired his team to a much-needed win with 26 possessions, half of those contested, 11 tackles and two goals for the night. 

ANDREW GAFF (West Coast) – The hard-running wingman torched Essendon with 35 possessions, and also finished of his work with two goals.

JACK RIEWOLDT (Richmond) – Richmond's lone option up forward booted four goals against the Power, and also took seven marks in a losing effort.

TOM LYNCH (Gold Coast) – Without doubt the competition's best young key forward, Lynch took 14 marks, seven of them inside 50 alone, and if he'd kicked straight could have had a big day.

CALEB DANIEL (Western Bulldogs) – Continued his brilliant season with 21 possessions and seven tackles, and set up the Dogs' win in the dying seconds with his outstanding vision.

JEFF GARLETT (Melbourne) – Has responded well from a stint in the VFL and gave the Demons some life up forward with four goals, including three in the first half.

LANCE FRANKLIN (Sydney Swans) – The Coleman Medal leader gave the Bulldogs nightmares and kicked 5.4 from 21 touches and 10 marks, six of those inside 50.

PATRICK McGINNITY (West Coast) – The forgotten former tagger produced a four-goal cameo playing as a permanent forward against the Bombers, and his teammates loved every minute of it.

JACKSON TRENGOVE (Port Adelaide) – Has carried the Power's ruck duties in recent weeks and had 20 possessions and eight clearances against the Tigers in another courageous game.

SCOTT PENDLEBURY (Collingwood) – The Magpies skipper racked up a game-high 34 disposals against the Blues, and dominated at stoppages with eight clearances.

LUKE PARKER (Sydney Swans) – Showed off the form he produced early in the season in a fantastic game, and finished with three goals, 10 tackles and 34 possessions.

MICHAEL RISCHITELLI (Gold Coast) – Had a game-high 33 disposals, six tackles and four clearances through the midfield in his best performance of the season.

MARCUS BONTEMPELLI (Western Bulldogs) – Started slowly but his 13 possessions and a clutch goal in the third term ignited the Bulldogs, and he finished with 29 and eight tackles.

JOSH KENNEDY (Sydney Swans) – In his element in the high-pressure game against the Dogs, gathering 34 touches, half of those contested, and also had seven clearances.

LUKE SHUEY (West Coast) – Unstoppable at stoppages, Shuey had 11 clearances, kicked a goal and finished the night with 27 disposals at almost 80 per cent efficiency.
