We took note of the top prospects from either side.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n TASMANIA DEVILS 2.3 | 7.5 | 12.9 | 17.14 (116) GOALS:<\/strong> BEST:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n TASMANIAN DEVILS:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n #1 <\/strong>Lucas Heazlewood<\/a> Stats: <\/strong>14 disposals, 6 marks, 2 goals<\/p>\n\n\n\n It was another almost brilliant game for the bottom-aged livewire. Heazlewood was dangerous early, securing multiple shots on goal but just unable to convert. When he eventually did, his excitement was infectious. Throughout the game, he was quick on the lead and a handful at ground level. Alongside fellow small forward Max Dawkins<\/strong>, he created plenty of scoring opportunities.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n #3 <\/strong>Jack Morrison<\/a> Stats: <\/strong>22 disposals, 6 marks, 4 tackles, 1 goal<\/p>\n\n\n\n Morrison started brightly and maintained his influence on the game from that point on. He routinely linked up through the centre of the ground via deft handballs and accurate short passes. In the last term, he finished his game off with a second tidy finish in front of goal to cap off a solid afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n #5 <\/strong>Jake Beams<\/a> Stats:<\/strong> 19 disposals, 5 marks, 5 goals<\/p>\n\n\n\n The prolific 16-year-old started in defence, taking kick-outs and rebounding with speed. He was moved forward midway through the second term and had immediate impact with two goals for the quarter. He returned forward later in the contest and remained a threat in marking contests and at forward 50 stoppages. Beams had a nice moment late in the third term where he goaled from the paint of the forward arc to demonstrate his kicking power. <\/p>\n\n\n\n #9\u00a0<\/strong>Sam Husband<\/a> Stats:<\/strong> 27 disposals, 7 marks, 9 tackles, 6 clearances<\/p>\n\n\n\n The tough midfielder was another of his side\u2019s impressive bottom-agers. Husband was the dominant on-baller on the day. He won contested ball at the source and distributed it with quick, accurate possessions. He also continually provided an outlet around the ground and worked hard to repeatedly front up to contests to provide physical pressure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n #16 <\/strong>Max Gulliver<\/a> Stats:<\/strong> 27 disposals, 5 clearances, 6 inside 50s, 2 goals<\/p>\n\n\n\n The equal-leading disposal winner for the game, Gulliver often dazzled with his burst from scrimmages. The hard-working energiser of a midfielder didn\u2019t let off the gas and proved difficult to contain for opposition midfielders. He scored the game’s first goal and peppered the scoreboard throughout the match. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n BENDIGO PIONEERS:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n #3 <\/strong>Eamon Austin<\/a> Stats:<\/strong> 20 disposals, 8 marks, 5 tackles, 5 goals<\/p>\n\n\n\n It was a very efficient performance from the diminutive goalsneak. Austin had moments on the ball where he utilised his swiftness but did his best work inside 50. He closed out the game with three fourth-quarter majors and didn\u2019t look like missing in front of the goals.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n #4 <\/strong>Cruz O’Sullivan<\/a> Stats:<\/strong> 21 disposals, 4 marks, 6 rebound 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the first half, O’Sullivan was one of Bendigo\u2019s cleanest midfielders and steadiest ball users. He was stationed in defence later in the game. In this role, he impacted marking contests and continued to competently use his right boot, occasionally from the defensive goalsquare while kicking out.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
