WEST PERTH 2.4 | 3.6 | 7.7 | 7.7 (49)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
GOALS: BEST:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n SOUTH FREMANTLE:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n #1 <\/strong>Cameron Maynard<\/a> Stats: <\/strong>15 disposals, 3 inside 50s, 1 goal<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finishing with 1.3, Maynard showed plenty of killer instinct without the finishing touch to match. The lively small forward pounced on any opportunity to attack, searching high up the ground and using his speed to create panic on the way back to goal. Maynard\u2019s crafty ball use and incredibly clean ground level craft were clear to see, helping forge his several scoring chances. He missed a few shots on the fly but came up clutch to slot a team-lifting goal in the final quarter, followed by his trademark acrobatics in celebration. He possesses all the great small forward tropes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n #12 <\/strong>Chace Vanderhoek<\/a> Stats: <\/strong>29 disposals, 4 marks, 8 inside 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vanderhoek’s consistency and production have been remarkable this season, proving to be an integral part of South Fremantle’s lineup as a bottom-ager. He put in another massive shift to accumulate possessions on the inside and outside, helping dictate play in every phase. His hands were quick and clean at stoppage, and he helped facilitate give-and-go passages as South Fremantle surged in transition. He simply demanded possession and worked hard for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n #20 <\/strong>Hudson Graham<\/a> Stats: <\/strong>18 disposals, 3 marks, 3 tackles<\/p>\n\n\n\n Graham has settled nicely back behind the ball and owned his area on Saturday. The competitive and mobile tall was a trusted distributor deep in defence, but also ventured high up the field to help keep possession or gain territory. Graham mopped up plenty of loose West Perth kicks and made an impact in the air with courageous intercept attempts. His blend of athleticism and determination was highlighted by his defensive efforts, including desperate smothers and tackles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n #23 <\/strong>Byron Foster<\/a> Stats: <\/strong>19 disposals, 5 marks, 8 tackles, 28 hitouts<\/p>\n\n\n\n Foster had claims on being best afield for his efforts in the ruck, where he tends to play his best footy. His leap and reach served him well when competing aerially, leading the game for hitouts while also extending to clunk a few impressive pack marks. It’s clear his time in defence has done him wonders in that department. Foster took up good positions behind the ball to help lock it in South Fremantle’s front half, especially in the early stages. He showcased his agility with several clearances and a couple of attempts on goal, nimbly stepping into space before letting fly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n #24 <\/strong>Conor Bushe-Jones<\/a> Stats: <\/strong>13 disposals, 15 hitouts<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bushe-Jones provided ample fold for Foster in the ruck, with both players also rotating forward. Lean and athletic, the 200cm prospect consistently showed great poise with ball in hand to navigate tight spots and join in on his side\u2019s waves of possession. He improvised well in open play and was agile enough to stay out of danger before releasing the ball to teammates. Bushe-Jones lacked the marking output of other talls on the day, but the conditions weren’t exactly conducive to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n WEST PERTH:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n #9 <\/strong>Tadhg Barrowclough<\/a> Stats: <\/strong>21 disposals, 6 marks<\/p>\n\n\n\n Playing somewhat of a goalkeeping role deep in defence, Barrowclough cut off plenty of shallow shots and errant West Perth entry kicks. He was tested at ground level but thrived aerially, stamping his authority with timely spoils and several strong intercept marks. The bottom-ager was a steadying influence across the last line with his expert positioning and solid frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n #12 <\/strong>Harvey Spawton-Guy<\/a> Stats: <\/strong>13 disposals, 4 marks, 3 inside 50s, 1 goal<\/p>\n\n\n\n While he struggled to convert his chances amid a fierce breeze, finishing with 1.3, Spawton-Guy provided a much-needed focal point inside 50. He presented full-chested on the lead and was drawn into his side\u2019s forward 50 entries, often gaining separation in front position. While capable of outbodying his opponent one-on-one, Spawton-Guy was also willing to search up the ground for opportunities. One of his defining moments came early in the piece, as he applied pressure to force a turnover on the wing and combined with teammates by hand before launching the ball long inside 50 for a direct goal assist. His mobility and dexterity in open play were impressive in tough conditions for a marking forward. He also had a brief stint in the ruck to outline his versatility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n #24 <\/strong>Campbell Creyk<\/a> Stats: <\/strong>30 disposals, 3 marks, 6 tackles, 3 inside 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n Creyk was utterly enormous in midfield, leading all comers in a display of raw power, speed and toughness. He was willing to crash and bash his way to the ball, applying great pressure at the contest while effortlessly evading it with his explosive shift in gears. The bottom-age bull surged the ball forward at all costs and looked dangerous when combining for repeat possessions through the corridor, often ending in forward 50 entries. Creyk can continue to work on his composure and foot skills, but proved he was capable of hitting up short targets on the run. Plenty to work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
