We took note of the top prospects from either side.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n TASMANIA DEVILS 1.5 | 2.9 | 2.10 | 4.13 (37) GOALS: BEST:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n TASMANIA DEVILS:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n #1 <\/strong>Lucas Heazlewood<\/a> Stats:<\/strong> 9 disposals, 4 marks, 2 goals<\/p>\n\n\n\n The lively small forward had a very productive first half. He initiated scoring for the Devils with a nice set-shot goal from about 40 meters out. He then opened up the next quarter with his side\u2019s second goal from another set shot and applied great pressure around forward 50 stoppages.\u00a0A more efficient game would have netted him a decent goal haul.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n #5 <\/strong>Jake Beams<\/a> Stats:<\/strong> 28 disposals, 8 marks, 7 inside 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n Beams did his best work around the centre as an interceptor, able to routinely cut off Dandenong disposals. He reeled in a number of aggressive intercept marks early in the game and also took kick-outs for his side without diminishing his impact up the ground.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n #6 <\/strong>Archie Devine<\/a> Stats:<\/strong> 23 disposals, 5 marks, 4 rebound 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n The consistent accumulator did just that. Devine was busy all afternoon creating momentum from kick-outs and defensive 50 rebounds. The majority of disposals were accurate chip passes and well-weighted handballs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n #9\u00a0<\/strong>Sam Husband<\/a> Stats:<\/strong> 21 disposals, 5 clearances, 7 inside 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tasmania\u2019s hardest-working on-baller was a key pillar of resistance at stoppages. Husband was the focal point in the midfield for the Devils and used his grit and skill to win the ball out of scrimmages. Around the ground, he linked up with hands through the centre and delivered the ball inside 50 with varied success.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n #21 <\/strong>Tom Geappen<\/a> Stats:<\/strong> 20 disposals, 10 marks, 4 inside 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n Geappen found the ball across the three lines with relative ease. He spent time forward but was best in the back half of the ground where he could pick off errant disposals. The versatile Devil competently applied his solid ball use and decision-making. <\/p>\n\n\n\n DANDENONG STINGRAYS:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n #1 <\/strong>Darcy Szerszyn<\/a> Stats:<\/strong> 25 disposals, 7 marks, 12 rebound 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n Szerszyn\u2019s athleticism and agility couldn\u2019t be contained; his speed out of defence was unmatched. The wiry defender was once one of the architects behind the Stingrays’ ball movement. He also still played an important defensive role, blanketing the Devils\u2019 offence through timely spoils and well-read intercept marks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n #4 <\/strong>Marcus Prasad<\/a> Stats:<\/strong> 16 disposals, 4 marks, 4 tackles, 5 goals<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prasad was effective at the coalface, securing clean possession and neatly delivering the ball forward. The crafty small was devastating while playing in his usual high forward role. He also impacted deeper, leading superbly out of the goalsquare, marking unimpeded, and capitalising on ground balls inside 50.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n #5 <\/strong>Bentley Avenell<\/a> Stats: <\/strong>11 disposals, 7 marks, 17 hitouts, 4 goals<\/p>\n\n\n\n The tall forward\u2019s superlative reach was a significant advantage on Sunday, and importantly, he held onto his marks. His set shot kicking was excellent and resulted in him slotting the first goal of the game. Avenell chopped out in the ruck, assisting Jack Vaughan<\/strong> ably.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n #6 <\/strong>Mitch Toner<\/a> Stats:<\/strong> 19 disposals, 3 inside 50s, 2 goals<\/p>\n\n\n\n Toner was dangerous when the ball hit the ground inside 50, where the burly forward could brush off tackles and finish accurately in front of goal. He was strong overhead and tough to catch on the lead, as usual. Toner intermittently pushed up to the centre and facilitated possession chains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
