OAKLEIGH CHARGERS 4.6 | 4.10 | 7.16 | 8.18 (66)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
GOALS:<\/strong> RMC BEST:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n GWV REBELS:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n #3 <\/strong>Rhys Unwin<\/a> Stats: <\/strong>14 disposals, 7 tackles, 5 inside 50s, 4 rebound 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unwin brought his usual energy in midfield against a quality Chargers contingent, getting busy going both ways. He used his speed to escape to the outside but also shut down the opposition with defensive efforts, like his rundown tackle on Tom Gross in term two and strong effort to lock up Noah Yze during the third. The lively small also did well to lose opponents at stoppages and was difficult to contain in each third of the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n #6 <\/strong>Jack Ough<\/a> Stats: <\/strong>22 disposals, 5 inside 50s, 4 tackles, 1 goal<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ough was his side’s leading ball winner for the third week running, proving his credentials as an inside midfielder and reliable big game player. The 194cm prospect used the ball quite efficiently as usual without being overly expansive, until his moment came late in the final quarter. Ough wrapped his boot around the ball perfectly for a snap goal to essentially seal the result with five minutes left on the clock, leaving Oakleigh requiring two goals to win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n #7 <\/strong>Oliver Hannaford<\/a> Stats: <\/strong>12 disposals, 4 inside 50s, 1 goal<\/p>\n\n\n\n After his previous exploits against the Chargers, and a six-goal effort last week, Hannaford was afforded a tough matchup in Blake Leidler<\/strong>. The in-form forward found less frequent opportunities deep inside 50, being forced to play a higher role before also rotating on-ball. He brough his patented power and intensity with each possession, breaking tackles and exploding into the contest. He kicked yet another bigtime goal late in the third quarter, recognising the moment to give his side a sniff heading into the final break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n #8 <\/strong>Jonty Faull<\/a> Stats: <\/strong>18 disposals, 7 marks, 6 inside 50s, 5 goals<\/p>\n\n\n\n Faull was GWV’s standout player and arguably the best afield given the result. He put his stamp on the game, shaking off a robust matchup in Liam Callaghan<\/strong> who kept him to just one goal in Round 18. The mobile key forward adjusted nicely and played to his strengths, getting busy on the lead by presenting up the ground. After booting three of his side\u2019s goals in the first half, Faull went on to showcase his contested marking improvements with some strong grabs. One even led to a long-range set shot goal to give his side the lead with seven minutes left to play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n OAKLEIGH CHARGERS:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n #5 <\/strong>Finn O’Sullivan<\/a> Stats: <\/strong>20 disposals, 8 marks, 8 inside 50s, 2 goals<\/p>\n\n\n\n It was an indifferent day for O\u2019Sullivan, who put himself in match-winning positions but couldn\u2019t conjure up the end product. He was amongst Oakleigh\u2019s starting midfield mix and rotated forward, getting on the end of a bullet-like pass from Jagga Smith<\/strong> to convert the opening goal. He also slotted a clutch set shot in the third quarter to give his side some breathing space, but hit the belly with a checkside attempt on the boundary in the dying stages. Throughout the game, O\u2019Sullivan looked like breaking it open with his power and strength, without quite doing so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n #7 <\/strong>Jagga Smith<\/a> Stats: <\/strong>33 disposals, 5 inside 50s, 1 goal<\/p>\n\n\n\n Smith was once again Oakleigh\u2019s leading player throughout the four quarters, racking up a game-high 33 disposals and popping up all around the ground. He started out with a pair of assists, drilling the ball inside 50 for teammates to be drawn into. His timing and repeat running efforts were terrific as Oakleigh chained the ball forward, covering ground supremely well. Despite his light frame, Smith was calm in the face of oncoming contact and absorbed it well before getting off clean disposals. He was unselfish when closing in on goal, but went alone in term three with a couple of baulks and a classy checkside finish to get the Chargers going. His level is consistently incredibly high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n
