5	VFL	Got through the game but was managed with game-time. Had 20 touches and laid six tackles.	–
6	VFL	Nabbed five clearances to go with 20 possessions. Handy enough, but has a way to go before senior call up.	–
7	VFL	Nearing a senior return after an impressive effort. Had 32 possessions and laid four tackles.	–
8	VFL	Not big numbers – just 20 touches, but tackled his heart out. Has grunt some senior teammates lack.	–
9	WB	First game of the season and laid 17 tackles to go with 17 disposals in what was a pleasing return.	7

14	Frem	Looked sore but kept battling. Laid seven tackles and was great in final term.	6

QF	Rich	Midfield workhorse spent time tagging Cotchin. Actually tried his backside off; 27 touches and eight tackles.	7
