AFL fans have spoken and ensured that Gary Ablett was named in the AFL.com.au team of the week for round seventeen.

He won the battle of the Brownlow medallists, beating out Fremantle's Nat Fyfe with 64 per cent of the fan vote on Twitter.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull was watching on from the stands and was treated to a typical display by the Little Master, who went on to gather 41 disposals and 11 clearances.

Ablett's 19 contested possessions and six tackles in driving rain highlighted his work at the coalface.
