Disappointment: Since the Blues midfield dominated, it was hard for Bailey Williams (67) to have any impact at all.

Rookies: Some really good scores for the Blues, led by Byrne (99) and followed by Smith (96) and Dean (84). Kemp (77), Ison (53) and Derksen (52) the others. Herbert (80) led the Eagles, tied with Allan (80), with the former being a solid downgrade option next week. Murdock (55) came in ahead of Duursma (41) and Duff-Tytler (38).

Injuries: Prized pick Duff-Tytler (calf) the only injury from Saturday afternoon.

 

Collingwood (15.16.106) defeated Richmond (11.6.72)

Other 100+ scores: Josh Daicos (111), Lachie Schultz (104)

Disappointment: Jayden Short (66) well under again, Cameron (86) struggling to get big score.

Rookies: After Retschko came Cumming (82) for the Tigers, ahead of Alger (62), Grlj (43), Annand (40) and Lefau (21). For the Pies, a quieter second week for Swadling (38), but that still led Steele (36) and Harrison (29).

Injuries: Horton (corked quad) on the injury report here, but that was all.

 

Port Adelaide (13.19.97) defeated Adelaide (11.5.71)

Disappointment: Rachele (46) and Rankine (38).

Rookies: McAndrew (104) is still in 30% of teams and produced a great score thanks to 14 touches, 8 tackles and 22 hitouts. Borlase (79) was once again very good as was Hall-Kahan (61), but Cook (20) had the worst score of his season. Bargain basement rookies Zadow (26) and Bambert (25) didn’t do much in Port showdown win, but Lai (82) and Whitlock (94) were super to influence the overall result.

Rookies: Farrow (85) led the Bombers ahead of some other draft crop in Sharp (63) and Robey (62). Others to feature were Day-Wicks (54) and El Achkar (30). The Kangaroos had Blamires (57), Goater (52), Duursma (40), Dawson (39) and Coleman-Jones (13).
