Development and VFL midfield coach, Xavier Clarke's summary of the AFL and VFL-listed players from Sunday’s Round 10 VFL win over the Northern Blues.
Anthony Miles38 disposals, nine clearances, six marks, one goal.
Another dominant performance in the midfield. Continues his great form in the VFL.
Jacob Townsend28 disposals, eight marks, five clearances, one goal.
Had a quiet first half. Had only seven disposals up to half time, so for him to finish with 28 was pleasing to see. Was rewarded with a goal and laid some good tackles which was also pleasing.
Taylor Hunt24 disposals, four marks, two clearances, two goals.
Was really good today, played the majority of the game on the wing and was rewarded with some good goals. Also ran through the midfield.
Nathan Broad19 disposals, seven marks, one tackle.
Starting to get a bit of consistency in his game now. Went forward and took a few good marks and was solid down back.
Corey Ellis19 disposals, five marks, three tackles, one goal.
Had a pretty good game. Had a corky in the first contest, but still had an impact.
Nick Vlastuin19 disposals, seven marks, one clearance, one goal.
Played his first game after a six-week spell with a shoulder injury. He looked really good down back, gave us great coverage and defensive pressure. Also got the chance to play some midfield in the last quarter and was rewarded with a goal.
Jack Graham15 disposals, three marks, two tackles, one goal.
Played his second game back, and had 70% game time. I think this kid’s going to be a really good player for us, we’re looking forward to him getting some consistency in his game. Hopefully, he can push for senior selection towards the end of the year.
Tyson Stengle15 disposals, four marks, two tackles, one goal.
Was held pretty well all day. They went to him as a target, but his work rate was really good. Could have hit the scoreboard a bit heavier, but he’s always in the game. He’s hard to tackle, and makes things happen when he wins the footy.
Jake Batchelor14 disposals, five marks, three tackles, two goals.
Played a variety of roles, started in the backline but went forward and kicked two goals, which was pleasing for him. He’s been fantastic for us, always provides good leadership and is a general in our backline.
Ryan Garthwaite14 disposals, eight marks, one tackle.
Played a different role for us by going forward for the whole game. Started the game really well, and took the first mark of the game after we won the first clearance. Finished with three behinds, but I thought his leading pattern and his contests in the forward 50 were outstanding.
Steven Morris14 disposals, four marks, three tackles.
Started the game well, looked lively, and was up and about after kicking four goals last week. Unfortunately it looks like he sustained a hamstring injury halfway through the third quarter. We’ll re-assess that during the week.
Mabior Chol11 disposals, five marks, one tackle, two goals.
Played a couple of different roles. Went back briefly, but also hit the scoreboard well. He had a really good impact and looked lively once he got into the game.
Ivan Maric11 disposals, 16 hit-outs, four marks, two goals.
Kicked a really nice snap from the pocket, which got the players up and going. He shows great leadership and gives us everything he’s got.
Ivan SoldoEight disposals, 17 hit-outs, four marks.
Didn’t touch a lot of the footy, but took some really nice contested marks around the ground and got our attack up and going from there.
