WEST PERTH:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
#3 <\/strong>Kayle Gerreyn<\/a>
Ruck\/Key Forward | 199cm | 10\/05\/2006<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats: <\/strong>21 disposals, 15 hitouts, 1 goal<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gerreyn moves so well for a player of 199cm standing and leant on all his dynamism to impact on Saturday. Starting in the ruck, he snatched several clearances and looked comfortable stepping around opponents before delivering kicks on either foot. He was also prominent upon rotating forward, proving a combination too strong and nimble when presenting at the ball carrier. His finishing could have done with some polish though, ending the game with 1.3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Others:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Falcons were well served by a number of solid operators. Jayden Rigoll<\/strong> matched Gerreyn\u2019s disposal count of 21, rolling through midfield alongside the likes of Jack Wooden<\/strong> (20 disposals, six inside 50s) and Codan Daddow<\/strong> (19 disposals). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bottom-ager Judd Marcello<\/strong> was a productive marking target with six grabs and two goals, while Eli Alexander<\/strong> managed 1.3 deeper in attack. Up the other end, 2023 state summer squad member Trent Hiscock<\/strong> managed 11 touches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2 <\/strong>Jaxon Douglas<\/a>
Defender | 188cm | 07\/02\/2006<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats: <\/strong>22 disposals, 14 kicks, 4 marks<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Douglas was Claremont\u2019s designated ball user out of defence and it showed as he collected a game-high 22 disposals. His kicking was the main feature, proving tidy on the rebound and navigating tough kick-in conditions at one end of the ground. Douglas clearly wanted the ball in his hands and his teammates obliged, as he repaid the faith by hardly wasting a touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#3 <\/strong>Hamish Davis<\/a>
Forward\/Midfielder | 190cm | 02\/05\/2006<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats: <\/strong>11 disposals, 2 inside 50s, 1 goal<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Davis was a force up forward and through midfield, hitting each contest hard and throwing his 190cm frame around. He looked ominous when hitting up at the ball in the early stages and utilised his power to split contests before swooping on the loose ball. His best moment was a second term stoppage goal from a slick rove and snap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#7 <\/strong>Will Hayes<\/a>
Wing | 179cm | 16\/05\/2006<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats: <\/strong>18 disposals, 4 marks, 3 tackles<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hayes may be lightly framed but has some genuine class about him, ideally suited to the wing role. Despite that, he set the tone with a strong holding-the-ball tackle on a charging opponent before getting into his usual outside work. Hayes moved nicely and executed kicks off both feet, showcasing handy spatial awareness and decision making ability. The only thing missing from his game was a goal, instead settling for two minor scores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#8 <\/strong>Lucas Ravenhill<\/a>
Key Forward\/Ruck | 199cm | 13\/04\/2006<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats: <\/strong>9 disposals, 4 marks, 1 goal<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Claremont’s spearhead, Ravenhill could hardly be faulted for effort on what was a tough night for marking types. He started strongly with a clean clunk and presented full-chested outside 50, at least attempting to bring the ball to ground when it came his way. Not much came completely clean, but he produced a nimble gather and blind turn before snapping his lone goal in the final quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#10 <\/strong>Austin van der Struyf<\/a>
Defender\/Midfielder | 178cm | 17\/03\/2006<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats: <\/strong>18 disposals, 4 inside 50s, 1 goal<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arguably the most highly touted of Claremont\u2019s many state squad members, van der Struyf put his class on show when it mattered. He found things a little tough kicking into the wind as a defender, but was undeniably stylish when shifted into midfield. His ability to both navigate into space or time a run to receive on the outside led to several clean stoppage exits, including in the second quarter when he slammed home an excellent roving goal on the run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
