by

Carlton (12.11.83) defeated by Collingwood (13.10.88)

  2. Zac Williams (111). One of the Blues best, Williams had 26 touches with 6 marks, 84% DE and just 1 clanger.
  3. Patrick Lipinski (105). 27 touches for Lipinski as the linkman, finishing with 1 goal as well.

Other 100+ scores: Zilch

Disappointment: Couple of back flankers here in Josh Daicos (74) and Nic Newman (76).

Rookies: Kemp (69) was the best of the Blues rookies ahead of Smith/Dean (64) who finished on the same score. Byrne (43) could’ve been much more if he had drawn the game. Pretty solid from Steene (72) who came in ahead of Anderson (64), Steele (48) and Hayes (46).

Injuries: Looked like another concussion for Harry McKay, bar that clean sheets.

Geelong (19.17.131) defeated Western Bulldogs (8.8.56)

  1. Jeremy Cameron (160). Dominated the Bulldogs backline with 18 touches and 10 marks but it was obviously the 10 goals that made him best on here.
  2. Bailey Smith (151). Ran all game long once again, showing a high ceiling, as he had 33 touches (16 contested) with 11 clearances, 8 marks, 7 tackles, 1 goal and 676 metres gained.
  3. Max Holmes (121). At half back again this week and found plenty of it, finishing with 28 touches @ 82% DE plus 7 marks and 510 metres gained.
  4. Lawson Humphries (104). Did plenty right across half-back, grabbing 24 touches with 8 marks, 1 goal and 533 metres gained.
  5. Ed Richards (102). Couldn’t hit a target early but kept in fighting to have 30 touches, 6 clearances and a massive 13 tackles, rounding out this games top five.

Other 100+ scores: Bailey Dale (101), Matt Kennedy/Ollie Dempsey (100)

Disappointment: Bontempelli (66) is the obvious one and to be honest, have no idea how he even got that score. Bruhn (56) also poor, as well as Stewart (62).

Rookies: Just Edwards (76) and Wiltshire (24) for the Cats, while the Dogs were led by  Sellwood (69). After him was Hynes (56), Emmett (56), Lewis (42) and finally Jaques (34), who killed his cash gen.

Injuries: Carnage at the Cattery. The Bulldogs lost star Sam Darcy to a knee, Tom Liberatore to a concussion, then Lobb and O’Donnell to hamstrings. The Cats came out unscathed.

Sydney (17.5.107) defeated GWS (8.18.66)

Other 100+ scores: Isaac Heeney (102)

Disappointment: Callaghan (65) had the tag all game long, while Ash (85) had too many turnovers.

Rookies: Rosas (74) was once again super for the Swans, the only other being Serong (48). After Gothard, it was just Hannaford (20) for the Giants.

Injuries: Clean injury cards here.

Gold Coast (17.17.119) defeated Essendon (17.8.110)

  1. Zach Merrett (150). Clearly just wants to win games of football even with the off season noise. 34 touches, 9 marks, 8 tackles, 1 goal and a huge 655 metres gained to lead this game.
  2. Matt Rowell (125). Finding his form very quickly, this week having 35 touches (17 contested) plus 5 clearances and 4 tackles.

Rookies: Zeke Uwland (62) led the Suns ahead of Adams (49), Lombard (45) and the returning Rogers (43). Day-Wicks (64) the best for the Bombers ahead of the popular Farrow (61), Edwards (52) and Robey (50).

Injuries: Just Ridley (calf tightness) listed on the injury report. Edwards (HIA) I’ve seen elsewhere but not on the official report. Marshall (76) was solid for Port, the only other rookie being Lai (28).

Hawthorn (13.11.89) defeated Port Adelaide (13.8.86)

  1. Zak Butters (154). Dominated in the middle and kept the Power in it at times. 35 touches (16 contested) with 5 clearances, 5 tackles and 1 major.
  2. Jai Newcombe (125). Another great game from Newcombe as he had 24 touches (10 contested) plus 7 tackles to lead the Hawks midfield.

Rookies: Coleman-Jones (66) the best for North ahead of Blamires (61), the returning Dovaston (32) and Duursma (28). Samson Ryan (86) the Tigers best and is on the bubble this week, while pre-season fancy Retschko (74) was solid on debut. After that there was Grlj (66), Lefau (35) and Fawcett (-4).

Injuries: Some more injuries here to further dampen the Tigers day. Banks (collarbone), Rioli (hamstring) and Taranto (concussion) all on the report.

Melbourne (16.8.104) defeated Brisbane (15.12.102)

  1. Harris Andrews (141). A brick wall down back all day, Andrew’s finished up with 22 touches (10 contested) plus 12 marks and 90% DE for the game.

Rookies: Couple of Demons here I’ll mention first. Taylor (32) made his debut while Max Heath (24) made his club debut. Tholstrup has had his time so after that there was Sharp (65), Pickett (43), Jefferson (33) and Laurie (31). The Lions had McCarthy (69), Gallop (57) and Zakostelsky (29).
