2. Shaun Mannagh (129). Busy night for Mannagh, his 30 touches were paired with 6 marks, 5 goals and 672 metres gained.
3. Tom Stewart (128). Brick wall down back, finding 28 touches and 7 marks to pair with 89% DE and 557 metres gained.

Other 100+ scores: Oisin Mullin (105), Jeremy Cameron (104), Shannon Neale (102)

Disappointment: Anyone you own from Brisbane to be honest. Neale (93), Coleman (82), Dunkley (80), Ashcroft (76), McCluggage (57) and Bailey (52) all grim.

Rookies: Just Edwards (46) for Geelong. McKenna (57) the best for the Lions, ahead of Marshall (41), Curtin (36) and Tunstill (34).

Sydney (11.15.81) defeated Collingwood (10.15.75)

1. Brodie Grundy (203). Was tipped to go massive and did it with absolute ease. Had 34 touches (24 contested) to add to 12 clearances, 5 marks, 46 hitouts and 1 goal, absurd.
2. Nick Blakey (156). Just as influential as Grundy to be honest, gathering 39 touches with 10 marks, 1 goal and a massive 902 metres gained.

Other 100+ scores: Zilch

Disappointment: Josh Daicos (80) and Dan Houston (75) were flying early but just fell apart in the second half as others were tasked with kick ins and made more accountable.

Rookies: Serong (76) returned for Sydney and provided a solid score coming in ahead of McDonald (66), Williams (50), Cootee (32) and Rosas (24). Roan Steele (89) was the best for the Pies, ahead of Anderson (71). The rest included Hayes (42), Parker (41), Steene (38) and the debutant West (22).

Injuries: Steene (knee) the casualty from this contest.

 

Gold Coast (15.8.98) defeated Port Adelaide (10.13.73)

1. John Noble (161). Another massive score for Noble across half back. This week it was a statline of 31 touches, 8 marks, 696 metres gained, 1 goal and elite DE of 96%.
2. Zak Butters (138). A solid VC option and most will take that score, as he had 35 touches (16 contested) plus 9 clearances, 5 tackles, 682 metres gained and just 1 clanger.
3. Noah Anderson (134). The pick over McCluggage in hindsight, his 33 touches (11 contested) had an awesome 958 metres gained attached to them. Also added 8 clearances.
4. Bodhi Uwland (127). Super again from Uwland, scoring heaps lately. 31 touches with 6 marks, 80% DE and 1 major.

Other 100+ scores: Mac Andrew (116), Darcy Byrne-Jones (111), Ned Moyle (109), Sam Collins (107), Jase Burgoyne (100)

Disappointment: Jason Horne-Francis (61) must be trying to avoid the ball.

Rookies: Lombard (90) very solid for the Suns, leading another solid effort from Adams (83), with Uwland (45) and Gulbin (39) the others. Whitlock (48) was the best for Port, ahead of debutant Anastasopoulos (44) and Watkins (33).

Injuries: Weller (hamstring) and Graham (concussion) the issues for the Suns, while Port lost Jones (concussion).

 

Adelaide (20.13.133) defeated North Melbourne (9.11.65)

1. Jordan Dawson (130). All round game from the captain, his 24 touches, 6 marks and 5 tackles also had 1 goal and 509 metres gained attached to them.
2. James Peatling (112). Near best on for the Crows, he was solid in the midfield with 22 touches (11 contested) plus 6 marks, 6 tackles and 2 goals.
3. Izak Rankine (110). Had a tag but you wouldn’t have known it, as Rankine found 28 touches (15 contested) plus 1 goal and 10 clearances.

Other 100+ scores: Lachlan McAndrew (103), Darcy Fogarty/Rory Laird (101)

Disappointment: Anyone from North you might possibly own. Xerri (87) for the sake of it because we all have Sheezel (73).

Rookies: After Murray and his spotlight, McAndrew (103) also hit a ton thanks to his 2 goals, 9 touches and 19 hitouts. Borlase (77) was solid as was Cook (70) but his cash might be up. Nothing great for the Roos who had Blamires (36), Dawson (26) and Duursma (20).

Injuries: No injuries from Adelaide oval.

 

Melbourne (18.12.120) defeated Hawthorn (12.9.81)
