Voted upon by coaches in a 5-4-3-2-1 format, Tiger Jack Riewoldt secured the perfect 10 from Damien Hardwick and Matthew Nicks after the Adelaide clash.
Taking one of the more memorable marks in the past decade, running back with the flight towards a pack of teammates and opponents, Riewoldt had a day out.
The 32-year-old, 294-gamer booted five goals and took 14 marks in his 20-disposal showing, making sure of the Tigers' 28-point victory in the last term, by kicking three of his majors and taking six of his marks.
A career-high four goals, coupled with 30 disposals, saw Mitch Robinson unlucky not to join Riewoldt in the 10 club, sharing a nine with teammate Dayne Zorko.
He also took 12 marks, bringing the Gabba to its feet with a goal from outside 50m after the three-quarter-time siren as the Lions trounced the Giants by 64 points.
Like Riewoldt, Robinson came into his own in the second half, with an 11-diposal third term setting him apart.
The rest of the votes came from a pair of Kangaroos, with former North Launceston premiership player Tarryn Thomas and teammate Aaron Hall both snagging two in the Roos' loss to St Kilda.

The pair have been shining lights in a rough season for North Melbourne, and Saturday night was no different, collecting 50 disposals between them.
Former Gold Coast gun Hall was the game's most prolific ball-getter, amassing 33 disposals and taking seven marks mainly in the defensive 50.
The 30-year-old is averaging 25.2 disposals for the season, the fourth most of any North Melbourne player, despite only producing eight touches in round five due to concussion.
Thomas is beginning to come into his own as an AFL player, kicking two goals and collecting 17 touches.
He also contributed five tackles and six marks - recording his first vote-worthy performance of the season despite last week's game against Essendon.
