Dion Prestia
Scores two in GF win
Prestia scored two goals to go with 14 disposals (seven kicks, seven handballs) and made five tackles during Saturday's 81-50 Grand Final win over Geelong.
ANALYSIS
Prestia ended the season in style after playing in every match in October. He dealt with an ankle injury throughout the summer that kept him out from July through September and will feel great to contribute to a second straight premiership win for the Tigers. Prestia will be one to watch if he can stay healthy next year.

Finishes title with two goals
Riewoldt scored two goals and two behinds in addition to making three marks during Saturday's 81-50 Grand Final win over Geelong.
ANALYSIS
Riewoldt began the scoring in the second half then sealed the deal with the final points of the premiership victory. Though never one to top the fantasy scoring charts, Riewoldt remains one of the better forwards around and scored majors in all but three matches this season. He'll now celebrate a second consecutive win of the flag to finish off an excellent end to the season for the Tigers.

The captain dominated the finals with seven goals and 67 disposals from three matches to help the Tigers secure a second straight flag and three of the last four premiership titles. He'll now have the offseason to celebrate his increasing place in the history books.

Kane Lambert
Kicks two goals in win
Lambert scored two goals and logged one behind to go with 13 disposals (eight kicks, five handballs) and six tackles in Friday's 46-40 win over Port Adelaide.
ANALYSIS
Lambert played a key role with his goals during a tough contest to advance to the Grand Final. He'll need to work hard to be worth selection, as he's seldom productive enough with the footy to regularly put up big numbers.

Dustin Martin
Dominates in semi-final victory Friday
Martin totaled 25 disposals (16 kicks, nine handballs), one mark, one tackle and one goal in Friday's 80-49 victory over St. Kilda.
ANALYSIS
Martin continues to prove why he is such a key piece for the Tigers, having his way with the Saints' defenders. He compiled a game-high 10 inside-50s, forcing the coaching staff to move him back to the midfield after starting up forward to begin the game. The Tigers will now face the Power next Friday with the winner moving through to the Grand Final. Martin is certainly no stranger to this time of year and will be looking to turn in yet another dominant performance.
