Its well and truly game on for top spot after Hawthorns shock loss to Melbourne on Saturday.The Hawks -- who entered the round two games clear -- were beaten convincingly by the Demons and will need to win their remaining three matches in order to guarantee top spot.Sydney produced arguably the most dominant display of the weekend with their 67-point win over Port Adelaide, while fellow top four side Adelaide thumped the hapless Lions by 23 goals.North Melbourne continue to struggle against top eight opposition and only managed to boot four goals in their clash with the depleted, yet inspired Western Bulldogs. With injuries to Ben Brown and Jarrad Waite it appears unlikely the Kangaroos can challenge in September.West Coast were challenged early by Fremantle but dug deep to win the Perth derby and lock up their finals berth. The Coleman Medal is Josh Kennedys to lose after the Eagle key forward bagged seven goals at Domain Stadium and stretched his lead to seven with three games remaining.Richmond can breathe easy this week after bouncing back from last weeks shocker in Sydney. The Tigers fought gallantly on Friday night to upset the much more fancied Collingwood. The question is, can they back it up next week?Heroes:Paul Roos: He is the messiah - it is as simple as that. Since joining Melbourne as head coach in 2014, Roos has revitalised the list and turned a team of easy beats into heavyweight beaters themselves. His development of such a young and exciting group has also re-enthused its loyal supporters who now believe a finals berth could be a possibility in 2017. Saturdays win over Hawthorn snapped a 13-game losing streak against the competitions premier side and will long live in the memory of Roos, the players and all Melbourne supporters.?The Dees -- without Jesse Hogan -- were superb and ruthless when the game was in the balance in the final term. Its now over to you, Simon Goodwin.?The Bulldogs spirit: You have to admire the Western Bulldogs who have been absolutely decimated by injuries in 2016, yet still manage to compete hard and beat quality opponents. Their effort and endeavour on Saturday night was first rate as they outworked the lacklustre Kangaroos -- even with ten of their best 22 sitting on the sidelines. It seems every player that comes into the side is able to bring the same ferocity and intensity that is the hallmark of the Bulldogs game. Luke Beveridge continues to work wonders and there wouldnt be too many football fans that would begrudge his side a glorious September campaign.Alex Rance: Without any doubt whatsoever, the Richmond fullback is the AFLs best defender. As he has been all year, Rance was resolute down back and coped tremendously well on Friday night against Collingwoods forward line. After a horror week which included an 88-point loss to Greater Western Sydney, the Tigers responded with terrific pressure and ferocity to deny the Magpies the football. Rance was superb with 26 disposals, eight marks and countless pressure acts. One wonders where Richmond would be at if the star backman was to leave.Villains:Hawthorns percentage: At the beginning of round 20 the Hawks appeared to be cruising towards the minor premiership. But, Saturday afternoon at the MCG proved that nothing is a certainty in sport as they fell to an inspired Demons outfit. The loss combined with an inferior percentage to the challenging sides means theres now a serious question mark over their top four hopes. The Hawks cannot afford to drop a game with Sydney, Adelaide, GWS and Geelong hot on their tails and all with a much healthier percentage. They have relied on their senior players to drag them over the line at critical moments this season, its time some of their younger players stand up.Port Adelaides midfield: If Robbie Gray only has seven disposals for a match, you know its going to spell disaster for Port Adelaide and thats exactly what happened on Saturday. It was a match that really highlighted the gulf between the top eight and the chasing pack as the Power copped an absolute smashing through the centre of the ground with the Swans winning the contested ball by a whopping 54. Sydneys thirst for the contest took the game away from the visiting side with Sam Naismith getting on top in the ruck over Jackson Trengove. The weight of forward 50 entries was too much to counter for the Power who will miss out on finals for the second consecutive year.Carltons defenders: For a side thats shown dramatic improvement under Brendon Bolton in 2016, the Blues will be filthy with their performance on Sunday. The Saints sliced through them with ease -- taking 20 marks inside 50 in the first half alone. Tim Membrey and Josh Bruce combined for nine goals in the rout as they stormed to a 71-point win to keep their slim finals hopes alive. The Blues lack of pressure was startling, especially after how well theyd competed against some top eight sides in the previous month. We know the Blues have lots of issues in the attacking half of the ground, they cant afford to have deficiencies in their team defence. Mike Gillislee Jersey .
