Josh Saunders – 25 possessions (12 contested), seven tackles, four clearances and three rebound 50s

Nick O’Kearney – 23 possessions (nine contested), nine tackles and five inside 50s

“Another really solid effort by Nick. He was consistent with his effort around the contest, laid nine tackles and got back to support the defence. He works both ways honestly.”

Jack Lonie – 21 possessions (11 contested), four rebound 50s and three clearances

“Jack was impressive with his leadership on the weekend, using his voice to direct traffic and setup structures. He was busy and tried to impact the contest but didn’t stick some of his tackles.”

Eli Templeton – 18 possessions, 12 tackles, three inside 50s and three rebound 50s

Tom Lee – 18 possessions, six rebound 50s, four marks and three tackles

Nick Coughlan – 11 possessions, four tackles and two rebound 50s

Lewis Pierce – 42 hitouts, 11 tackles and eight possessions

Brandon White – Seven possessions, two tackles and two rebound 50s

Injured

Billy Longer – 14 hitouts, seven possessions and three marks

Jason Holmes – Five possessions, four hitouts and one inside 50
