Connor West
33 disposals, five marks, five tackles, six inside 50s
Really impressed with how he’s going. Had 33 touches, won the ball on the inside, won the ball on the outside. He was tough and clean all day.
Mark Hutchings
30 disposals, five marks, six inside 50s, three goals
Was prominent, had 30 disposals and kicked three. It’s a really dominant performance from a midfielder, so really happy with how he performed.
Xavier O’Neill
24 disposals, five tackles, nine inside 50s, one goal
Played a little bit more forward this week, particularly early. Had some really good impact around the stoppages, and we were really happy with his defensive mindset when the opposition had the ball.
Luke Foley & Harry Edwards
22 disposals, three marks, three tackles & six disposals, one mark
Continuing to grow and mature as defenders. They helped lead our backline really well, and their positioning and aggression with attack of contest was first class. ‘Foles’ had 22, and although Harry didn’t have a lot of the ball, his contest work was outstanding.
Brayden Ainsworth
17 disposals, three marks, two tackles
Really solid performance again for us, started up some really good play.
Zane Trew
16 disposals, two marks, three tackles
His touches were really influential, had some really aggressive play off his quick hands and smarts around contests. He’s another player with two-way work rate that has been really evident the last month or so.
Ben Johnson
16 disposals, three marks, one tackle
Had 16 off half-back and had some really good moments, and some moments we can continue to educate him on.
Jake Waterman
13 disposals, four marks, three tackles, three goals
Had a slow start, the first half didn’t really get too involved, but in the second he was one of the players that got us back into the game. Kicked three in the second half.
Nathan Vardy
36 hitouts, three marks, two tackles
Was really good in the ruck, particularly after half-time, he really dominated the aerial battle and stoppage battle.
Bailey Williams
17 hitouts, one mark, one tackle
Was really good in the ruck, he’s competing really well, probably just missed a couple of opportunities to expose his opponent. But his development particularly in the contest, over the past four or five weeks has really impressed us.
Isiah Winder
Nine disposals, one mark
First game back for him, had some good moments, he’s a really classy player. When he did touch the ball there were some good chains that were created off of those plays.
Callum Jamieson
Eight disposals, one mark
Played back again for the fourth week in a row, and he’s continuing to grow as a defender and as a tall. So his development will continue as a back, and we’ll continue to try him in different areas as well. The way he competes and is starting to read the game, we’re really happy with that growth.
