Lively Swans forward Ben Ronke has made AFL.com.au’s Round 17 Team of the Week after starring in Sydney’s heart-stopping win over North Melbourne on Sunday.

The 20-year-old booted five goals, including the second-last major of the game, and again applied enormous pressure on the ball-carrier as the Swans clawed a six-point victory at Etihad Stadium.

Ronke joins Magpie Jordan De Goey and Kangaroo Jack Ziebell in Team of the Week’s front three, while Cat Patrick Dangerfield, Demon Jesse Hogan and Crow Tom Lynch round out the forward line.
