AFL Finals Player Rankings: Hawks Dominate Over Dockers

During the 2026 AFL Finals series, Hawthorn showcased a dominant performance against Fremantle, particularly on Thursday night. Led by co-captain James Sicily, the Hawks effectively neutralized Fremantle's forwards and executed strong counterattacks.

James Sicily received the top ranking for his significant impact, followed by Will Day, who excelled in midfield despite being in his first final. Massimo D'Ambrosio also contributed notably with his runs down the wing, creating opportunities for Hawthorn.

Fremantle's performance was marked by several players struggling, with Jordan Clark being one of the few who stood out. The Dockers faced challenges throughout the match, with key players like Andrew Brayshaw and Luke Jackson attempting to rally their team but ultimately falling short against a well-organized Hawks defense.
