Curtin BEST:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Claremont: <\/strong>H. Davis, H. Boxshall, A. Riddle, L. Ravenhill, J. Sibosado, J. Douglas Mel Whinnen Medal:<\/strong> Hamish Davis (Claremont)<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n CLAREMONT:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n #3 <\/strong>Hamish Davis<\/a> Stats:<\/strong> 30 disposals, 3 marks, 7 inside 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n A more than deserving Mel Whinnan Medal winner for best on ground, Davis\u2019 second half was a performance to be marvelled at. Despite having to work his way into the game, once he arrived, he was unstoppable. Davis proved a dangerous prospect up forward once again with multiple shots on goal, but did his best work through the midfield where he seemed to be involved in almost every passage of play. His hands in traffic were superb, collecting the ball cleanly and delivering to teammates in ways that led them to space and dictated his side\u2019s movement. Davis used his penetrating kick to boot Claremont deep inside 50, leading to multiple marks at the top of the goalsquare. He set up multiple majors with clever and efficient ball use, showing that he is a class above this level of football after strong senior exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n #7 <\/strong>Will Hayes<\/a> Stats:<\/strong> 16 disposals, 2 marks, 7 inside 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hayes is an expert at playing the wing position. He holds his width to provide an option wide of the contest when needed, runs hard with great patterns, and has a burst of speed that not many can rival. He took full advantage of his dash by linking up with teammates all afternoon, providing run and carry to drive his side inside 50 on seven occasions. He accumulated multiple possessions on his forays forward as he never stopped running and his ball use was clean and tidy. Hayes displayed great vision going inside 50 and hit targets in dangerous positions up forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n #15 <\/strong>Aiden Riddle<\/a> Stats:<\/strong> 17 disposals, 30 hitouts, 5 marks<\/p>\n\n\n\n Riddle was dominant in the ruck battle, proving too talented for the Swan Districts talls to compete with. He positioned himself intelligently behind the ball to take several intercept marks and used his big frame to bring the ball to ground in packs around Optus Stadium. Riddle\u2019s touch in the ruck was impressive, knocking down hitouts to his teammates’ advantage that created clearances galore in the second half, including one that he followed up himself to drive forward. He showed off his agility as well with a nice collect at ground level and step around an opponent, delivering inside 50 in the final term to create one of the Tigers\u2019 four last quarter goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n #18 <\/strong>Hugh Boxshall<\/a> Stats:<\/strong> 30 disposals, 5 marks, 6 tackles<\/p>\n\n\n\n The other contender for the Mel Whinnen Medal, Boxshall was consistently dominant across all four quarters. The taller midfielder displayed classy hands inside contests, setting up his teammates to win clearances and found plenty of the ball himself on the outside with his run and spread. Boxshall\u2019s influence was felt most with his relentless running and his ball use going inside 50, where he lowered his eyes to hit targets. Though there were some examples of shaky decision making, it was mostly due to taking the game on, which helped Claremont set up the win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Others: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Clancy Dennis<\/strong> (14 disposals, four marks) and Cody Curtin<\/strong> (11 disposals, five marks, one goal) were important at either end of the ground. Dennis stood tall to take numerous intercept marks and set up the Tigers\u2019 rebounds with his penetrating kick. Curtin was dangerous inside 50 and asserted himself on the contest with his physicality. Though he missed a few chances he would normally convert, he would have enjoyed the airtime he got with a huge hanger late in the third quarter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The latter’s key forward partner Lucas Ravenhill<\/strong> took full advantage of Claremont\u2019s inside 50 dominance, taking eight marks and booting three goals. Midfielder Jett Sibosado<\/strong> (17 disposals, four marks, one goal) was highly influential on the contest with his tough, courageous efforts, while Austin van der Struyf<\/strong> (16 disposals, five inside 50s, one goal) was impressive in a new role on the wing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n SWAN DISTRICTS:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n #3 <\/strong>Blake Kelly<\/a> Stats:<\/strong> 20 disposals, 6 inside 50s, 4 tackles<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bottom-ager Kelly began the game with the opening clearance, and he had plenty more as the day went on. He used his smarts and pace to explode away from centre bounces and deliver the ball inside 50. Most impressive was Kelly\u2019s ability to make the game feel slow when he had the ball. He stayed composed with ball in hand, surveyed his options and used it well. During a run to open the final term where it felt like Swan Districts may make a comeback, it was Kelly who began multiple passages of play with daring use and quick hands through traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
