#13<\/strong> Seb Wauer<\/a>
Midfielder | 15\/01\/2005 | 184cm | 82kg<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 26 disposals, 4 clearances, 7 inside 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Central\u2019s leading ball winner in a losing effort, Wauer looked to add speed to the game with many of his possessions and brought great energy to the contest. He featured through the centre bounces and was clean in the opening exchanges, helping extract and drive the ball forward. Wauer seemed to come alive with ball in hand, with one of his best plays a running foray through the corridor during the final quarter before copping a knock to his shoulder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#33<\/strong> Charlie Nicholls<\/a>
Key Forward | 08\/06\/2006 | 195cm | 77kg<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 9 disposals, 3 marks, 2 inside 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One for the Bulldogs to get excited about next year, Nicholls capped off his campaign with a relatively steady outing after starting the match in fine form. It seemed he was Central\u2019s centrepiece in the opening quarter, getting good separation on the lead to the top of attacking 50 before Liam Fawcett and Tallan Rosenzweig took over aerially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#39 <\/strong>Liam Fawcett<\/a>
Key Forward | 22\/04\/2005 | 197cm | 89kg<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 12 disposals, 8 marks, 6 tackles<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clunking a game-high four contested marks from eight overall, Fawcett was again Central\u2019s spearhead but failed to translate his success to the scoreboard. He began to work into the game after quarter time, presenting up the ground and holding a series of strong grabs from front position. He went scoreless for the match though, having a checkside from the pocket go out of bounds and a set shot fall short among his chances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Others:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
William O’Brien<\/strong> (22 disposals, 11 marks) provided spurts of speed and dare in the midfield rotation, while Tom Giles<\/strong> (22 disposals, 11 marks, seven rebound 50s) was the main man in a bust defence. Elsewhere, Ethan Scholz<\/strong> was solid but state representative Trent Tattoli<\/strong> was kept relatively quiet having started in midfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
STURT:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
#17<\/strong> Declan Gladigau<\/a>
Wing | 24\/08\/2005 | 180cm | 71kg<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 14 disposals, 6 marks, 2 behinds<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gladigau was another player who worked into strong scoring positions without totally taking toll, registering two behinds from the wing. He started in lively fashion, leaning on his end-to-end running capacity to sneak out the back and snare his two opportunistic scores in the second quarter. Things dried up for him after that, but Connor Mills was prolific on the opposite wing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#25 <\/strong>Loch Rawlinson<\/a>
Forward | 01\/06\/2005 | 177cm | 71kg<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 13 disposals, 6 marks, 3 goals<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Booting a game-high three goals, Rawlinson again played the small forward role well and showed he could do so in a couple of different ways. He showcased his smarts to shark the ball off hands and do damage in small windows of opportunities, as highlighted by his second goal. Rawlinson\u2019s other two majors were converted over the mark and he was lively inside 50, while also working hard to present up the field late on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#27 <\/strong>Ned Atkinson<\/a>
Midfielder | 31\/07\/2006 | 181cm | 79kg<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 22 disposals, 18 marks, 2 goals<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a 181cm midfielder, racking up 18 marks is no mean feat but it\u2019s exactly what Atkinson did on Saturday. The bottom-ager plucked one against two opponents to snare the first goal of the game and that set the tone for some gutsy efforts down the line, with Atkinson displaying a strong set of hands for his size. He was a little scrappy under pressure but bagged two majors from 22 touches, working hard to find the ball in all areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
