SUBIACO:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
#1 <\/strong>Charlie Burke<\/a>
Midfielder\/Wing | 183cm | 11\/04\/2006<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 9 disposals, 4 inside 50s, 2 marks<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Subiaco skipper fought through some close checking in this game, switching between playing as an inside and outside midfielder. He regularly cleared the ball inside 50 from stoppages and put his body on the line late in the contest when the game was still winnable, trying to will his side towards goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#3 <\/strong>Malakai Champion<\/a>
Forward | 183cm | 17\/05\/2006<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 17 disposals, 6 marks, 4 inside 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was an impressive showing from the West Coast NGA product, using the ball exceptionally across the ground and in transition. Champion came up to stoppages and impacted well, using his explosiveness to drive his legs, burst away from opposing midfielders and deliver the ball inside 50. On more than one occasion he scrapped and hustled for a loose ball against multiple opponents. Champion ventured into dangerous spots inside 50 and unselfishly shared a goal with a teammate that he would normally kick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#28 <\/strong>Wesley Walley<\/a>
Forward | 180cm | 29\/11\/2007<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 10 disposals, 6 tackles, 1 goal<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Walley put his pace and defensive intent on show on Sunday, nailing three separate chase-down tackles that left the crowd in awe and lifted his side. Walley was rewarded with three free kicks for holding the ball, one of which was inside 50 that he converted a goal from. The bottom-age talent was classy below his knees, demonstrating clean hands and staying involved in the contest all morning. Like Champion, he’s also part of the West Coast NGA program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Others: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
State representative Hayden Windsor<\/strong> (eight disposals, 21 hitouts) worked hard across the ground, fighting a draw in the ruck battle and taking two impressive marks. Midfielder Aven Drewett<\/strong> (16 disposals, one goal) won plenty of the football, while Kieren Douglas<\/strong> (16 disposals, five tackles) was stoic back in his usual defensive position. Xavier Hickey<\/strong> (18 disposals, eight marks) and Thomas Macgillivray <\/strong>(20 disposals, four marks, five tackles) were prolific once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SWAN DISTRICTS:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
#3 <\/strong>Blake Kelly<\/a>
Midfielder | 180cm | 03\/01\/2007<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats: <\/strong>20 disposals, 2 marks, 2 tackles<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bottom-ager Kelly was instrumental in his side\u2019s victory, often extracting the ball from stoppages with burst and explosiveness. He displayed excellent hands in contests, staying composed and being able to shrug his hips to displace would-be tacklers and distribute. His strength to stand up in tackles and slip through traffic to drive Swans forward was superb, and under pressure he was able to deliver the ball to teammates flawlessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#4 <\/strong>Otis Harvey<\/a>
Midfielder | 182cm | 17\/01\/2006<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 24 disposals, 4 marks, 4 inside 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Harvey was the standout player on the ground on Sunday, providing Swan Districts with excellent run and carry through the corridor, while balancing his outside game with strength in contests, hard tackling, and clearance wins. His contested game was stellar, taking charge in multiple moments where Subiaco looked to wrestle back momentum, only to have Harvey charge forward from centre bounces and drive Swans inside 50. Late in the final term he displayed outstanding ball use under duress as his side looked to stay composed in a manic last few minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
