GOALS:<\/strong> BEST:<\/strong> GRAND FINAL:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n EAST FREMANTLE:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n #8 <\/strong>James Artemis<\/a> Stats: <\/strong>20 disposals, 2 tackles, 2 inside 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n Playing his ninth Colts game as a 16-year-old, Artemis again proved up to the level and was one of East Fremantle\u2019s best players afield. The wingman operated like an extra rover at stoppages with his ability to fold in on the contest before working into space. While winning clean possession was difficult in the conditions, Artemis was strong over the ball and looked to either use his speed, or link up with teammates to move forward. He’ll be a prime mover for the Sharks in the next two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n #9 <\/strong>Kaiden Summerell<\/a> Stats: <\/strong>18 disposals, 3 marks, 10 tackles<\/p>\n\n\n\n Starting on-ball before shifting into defence, Summerell did much of his work facing forward and helped propel attacks with his unique kicking style. The top-ager wasn\u2019t afraid to go long or inboard, taking risks to put East Fremantle on the front foot. He also popped up with a couple of intercept marks and was willing to get his hands dirty to lay 10 tackles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n #15 <\/strong>Rhama Evans<\/a> Stats: <\/strong>21 disposals, 2 marks, 6 tackles<\/p>\n\n\n\n Topping the Sharks’ disposal charts alongside Josh Nathan<\/strong>, Evans was clean at the contest and looked to create effective exits. He showed good poise and agility in traffic, able to bide his time on the ball to find the right target and steer clear of would-be tacklers. Evans’ core strength was another asset when doing exactly that, making him difficult to contain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Others:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Tom Grylls <\/strong>(20 disposals, 15 tackles) and Josh Nathan <\/strong>(21 and six) were both up for the fight, holding their own physically in a tough midfield battle. Over-ager Jye Sander<\/strong> played a key role in shutting down Cody Curtin <\/strong>once again, while also chopping out in the ruck alongside Kye Ormerod<\/strong>. The latter booted two goals to help keep his side in touch, playing with presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n CLAREMONT:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n #5 <\/strong>Joseph Hopkyns<\/a> Stats: <\/strong>13 disposals, 4 tackles, 3 inside 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n A real tone-setter down back, Hopkyns was central to Claremont\u2019s robust defensive performance. He spent time on East Fremantle\u2019s bottom-age talls and fared well in one-on-one situations, applying great physicality both in the air and at ground level. He was seldom beaten when the ball entered his area and helped build a high wall to lock it in the Tigers\u2019 front half. Hopkyns also leant on his booming left-foot to deliver long and direct, proving no-fuss in the conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n #6 <\/strong>Charlie Banfield<\/a> Stats: <\/strong>21 disposals, 7 tackles, 2 inside 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n The scrappy style of play theoretically suited Banfield, though he didn\u2019t have it all his own way on Sunday. The big-bodied midfielder applied himself physically with heavy tackles and looked to break open packs through sheer force. Such method saw him caught in possession on occasion, though he still handled the ball cleanly in close quarters and was able to clear the contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n #20 <\/strong>Benji van Rooyen<\/a> Stats: <\/strong>17 disposals, 7 tackles, 34 hitouts<\/p>\n\n\n\n The most dominant bigman afield, van Rooyen owned the ruck battle and compounded his impact on the follow-up. He was one-touch despite the conditions, able to pluck the ball cleanly out of the air and feed his midfielders at ground level. The bottom-ager also dropped back to support the defence and was a capable interceptor, while applying tackle pressure to round out what was a balanced performance. At comfortably over 200cm, he’s an exciting talent for next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
