VFL
Will Setterfield (150) put up one of the biggest scores of the year thanks to his 35 disposal, 8 tackles and one goal game.

The Amartey Party was in full swing with Joel Amartey (121) kicking five goals to go with his 18 disposals. WIth Pete Ladhams suspended this week, it looks like a certain return for Tom Hickey (120). He had 28 hitouts, 21 disposals and a goal. Dylan Stephens (114) and Matt Roberts (109) also found plenty of footy with 24 and 28 touches respectively.
