2. Chris Tarrant (10 disposals, 5 marks): First game back from injury. Pleasing performance. Took several contested marks and looked dangerous in the forward line.
15. Jarrod Witts (11 disposals, 3 marks): Played in the middle for most of the game. Shared the ruck duties with Wood and Ceglar.
19. Cameron Wood (14 disposals, 6 marks): Dominated the ruck. Had 36 hitouts and five clearances. He worked well around the ground. He won his position on the day.
25. Tom Young (26 disposals, 5 marks): Played well in the midfield. Showed strong run and carry.
29. John Ceglar (13 disposals, 7 marks): Starting to come into some good form with his hands. His extra work inside the club is paying off.
35. Jamie Elliott (14 disposals, 5 marks, 2 goals): Has shown over the last couple of weeks that he wants to be given an opportunity at AFL level. Played in the middle and as a forward. He is doing everything right. His performances on game days have raised eyebrows.
Cameron Wood battles in the ruck.
37. Kirk Ugle (11 disposals, 4 marks): He tried hard for four quarters and looked lively in the forward line.
38. Peter Yagmoor (13 disposals, 2 marks): Played down back and on the wing.
49. Paul Cribbin (14 disposals, 1 mark): He is an elite runner. Running over 15 kilomteres per game which is crazy. Got reward for effort.
41. Daniel Farmer (12 disposals, 2 marks): Second game back after an interrupted preseason. Did some positive things. On the attack he is OK.

40. Paul Seedsman (2 disposals): Unlucky after he was injured early in the game with a hard tackle. He was rested after the tackle. Should be right next week.
43. Trent Stubbs (12 disposals, 6 marks): Steadily improved over the last three weeks.
44. Corey Gault (15 disposals, 2 marks): Happy with how he is progressing in his leading patterns. Had a tough job with Tayte Pears playing on him.
48. Caolan Mooney (11 disposals, 4 marks): Good effort. Progressing well. Used his leg speed. Rick Ladson played on him. Great learning experience.

50. Shae McNamara (6 disposals, 1 mark): Played down back. Down on his performance form the week before.
51. Kris Pendlebury (31 disposals, 4 marks): Dominated. Took seven marks from opposition kicks. Had a really solid season. The captain of the footy club led the way.
52. Mitch Hahn (17 disposals, 4 marks, 2 goals): I played midfield and as a forward. My role is to help educate and to get these guys in position to push for senior selection.
53. Jack Hellier (16 disposals, 2 marks, 1 goal): A hard at it midfielder who was strong over the footy.
55. Lachlan Smith (8 disposals, 2 marks): Played down back. Took three marks from opposition kicks. Needs to work on his aggression.

58. Lachlan Wallace (10 disposals, 2 marks): Had a great game the week before. Dropped off a little bit as a backman.
59. Nick Riddle (7 disposals, 1 mark): Played on Matthew Little (2 goals) and did a great job on him. A solid defender.
64. Ricky Ferraro (19 disposals, 2 marks): The heartbeat of the VFL team. Has a real passion for the club. Nine tackles. Loves to get his hands dirty.
