August 17, 2023 Richmond father-son prospect Charlie Naish kicked a bag of five goals in AGSV’s narrow nine-point loss in its showcase clash against APS.
Naish, the son of former Tiger Chris and young brother of delisted Tiger and Eagle Patrick, finished with 21 disposals, nine marks and 125 SuperCoach ranking points in an imposing showing at Penleigh and Essendon Grammar.
Naish missed out on Vic Metro selection but played for Richmond’s VFL side earlier this season.
But he was outdone by Wesley College forward Ben Hill, who led the APS side to victory with a stunning eight goal haul, tallying 17 disposals, 10 marks and 169 SuperCoach points.
It caps a strong APS season for Hill where he was the third highest goalkicker, including 5.5 against Geelong Grammar in the final round.
Naish’s AGSV and Northern Knights teammate Kristian Ferronato was everywhere, finishing as the top ranked player on the ground with 41 disposals, 18 contested possessions, nine clearances, two goals and 171 SuperCoach points.
Liam Walters continued his recent Coates Talent League form with a team-high 29 disposals, nine inside 50s, six clearances and 135 SuperCoach points for APS, with Scotch College and Sandringham Dragons product Cooper Lord tallying 27 disposals, six marks and 140 SuperCoach points himself.
Geelong Grammar forward Reef Page had 13 disposals, six marks, two goals and 111 SuperCoach points for APS, while Geelong College representative Tom Gorell kicked two majors.
