IN Round 16 of the WAFL Colts competition, East Fremantle defeated Perth by 12 points at Lathlain Park and Lenny Fogliani was there to capture the action.

Below were the best players in the game.

PERTH DEMONS

#1 IAN HILL

The AFL Academy member produced a performance that would have enhanced his draft stocks. The young cousin of Fremantle pair Brad and Stephen, Hill was electrifying against the Sharks with 25 possessions, six marks, six inside 50s and three goals. His speed, class, vision and decision-making were all on display.

#6 TRENAYNE HODDER

In only his third game for the Demons, Hodder was dazzling in the forward half. He collected 14 possessions, recorded five inside 50s, laid three tackles, took two marks and booted a goal. His desire to take the opposition on was superb for such a young player.

#10 SYDNEY STACK

The All-Australian representative continued his fine season with yet another polished display. He gathered a game-high 26 possessions, laid a game-high 12 tackles, recorded a game-high seven inside 50s and took three marks in a sensational performance. His draft stocks continue to soar weekly.

#15 NYIKA JOHN

The Queens Park junior was sublime on the half-back line for the Demons with 17 possessions, five marks, three inside 50sand two marks. His reading of the play, and skills were critical in keeping the Demons within the contest.

#21 BRODIE GRAY

The 17-year-old produced his best game for the Demons against East Fremantle in just his eighth game of WAFL Colts. He finished with 15 possessions, six tackles, three inside 50s and two goals in a sublime performance.

#23 ETHAN HANSEN

Before he injured his knee in the second quarter, Hansen showed why he is such a highly rated prospect from WA this year. He had 10 possessions midway through the second quarter, and his pace, aggression, skill and reading of the play were all on display.

#25 ELIJAH TAYLOR

The Thornlie junior enhanced his prospects for the AFL Draft next year with another superb display. He finished with 15 possessions, four inside 50s and a goal in a lively performance. His damaging disposal makes him a weapon in the forward half for the Demons.

EAST FREMANTLE

#8 DYLAN CURLEY

The Mullewa product is a human highlight reel and it was not hard to see why against Perth. In the opening 40 seconds of the game, he took a spectacular mark similar to that of Ashley Sampi’s 2004 Mark of the Year. His ability to weave his way through traffic is simply sublime and more often than not he had the Perth defenders nervous. He finished with nine possessions, eight hit-outs, five marks, three tackles and three goals.

#9 COREY ROBINSON

The Aquinas student was easily East Fremantle’s best midfielder with 24 possessions, five inside 50s, four marks and four tackles in a powerful display. His willingness to burrow himself at the bottom of packs, rip the ball out of congestion and then find a target is first class.

#15 JAKE DIGGLE

Stationed on the half-back line, Diggle was instrumental for the Sharks repelling the Demons’ attacking forays. He also provided superb rebound for the Sharks and was often a catalyst for them going forward. He gathered 15 possessions, laid two tackles and took two marks.

#17 MAX MURPHY

The 2016 WA State U16s Academy representative was arguably the Sharks most valuable player against the Demons. Playing in defence, he accumulated 20 possessions, took six marks, recorded four inside 50s, laid two tackles and kicked a superb goal from the boundary about 45 metres out.

#23 DILLON O’REILLY

The reigning WAFL Colts Leading Goalkicker was switched into defence for the Sharks and he handled the move with aplomb. His reading of the play, skills and leadership were all crucial for the victory. He finished with 20 possessions, four marks, and two tackles in a solid outing.

#27 JAI JACKSON

In only his third game of WAFL Colts, Jackson demonstrated that he belongs in the professional environment. He threw himself into every contest, kamikaze style, and would often rip the ball out to his runners. He finished with 19 possessions, 11 tackles, four inside 50s, three marks and a goal in a dazzling display.

#28 NICHOLAS WATSON

The East Fremantle captain was without doubt the most imposing ruckman on the ground. He finished with 32 hit-outs (Perth in total had 17), 11 possessions, five tackles, three marks and three inside 50s in a true captain’s performance. His ability to give first use to his midfielders was first-class and his desperation to cover the ground was phenomenal.
