He finished with 21 disposals, seven marks, three tackles, three inside 50s, and a goal in a dazzling display.

He finished with a game-high 29 disposals, four marks, four tackles, three inside 50s, and a goal. His desire to take the game on with his speed and skill execution went a long way towards Claremont winning the game.<\/p>\n >> AFL Draft Watch: Joel Western<\/a><\/p>\n #23 Jacob Van Rooyen<\/strong><\/p>\n The Wembley Downs Junior was a powerful presence in the forward line for Claremont, as he always presented a target for his midfielders to kick to. Playing at centre half-forward, Van Rooyen finished with 15 possessions, five inside 50s, four marks, two tackles, and a goal.<\/p>\n —<\/p>\n Around the grounds:<\/strong><\/p>\n By: Michael Alvaro<\/em><\/p>\n Leading 2020 AFL Draft prospects Logan McDonald<\/a><\/strong> and Denver Grainger-Barras<\/strong><\/a> made their mark at League level, with the former booting three goals on debut. McDonald was terrific up forward for Perth in the Demons’ 10-point win over Peel, booting an equal game-high three goals from 16 disposals and four marks. Up the other end and for Swan Districts, Grainger-Barras took five marks in his eight-disposal effort.<\/p>\n Back in the Colts grade, South Fremantle edged passed the highly fancied East Fremantle Sharks with a consistent team performance. Jacob Plunkett<\/strong> booted three goals for the Bulldogs, while Oscar Armstrong<\/strong>\u00a0and Clayton Riley<\/strong> both managed a team-high 19 disposals.
