Garrick played predominantly on the wing with periods at half-back. He ran some strong defensive patterns and positioned well, being able to release his opponent into congestion and read the play to influence the contests. It was a positive outing for Garrick.
Anthony Morabito – 19 disposals (14 kicks, 5 handballs), 5 inside 50s
Anthony played inside mid with a period on the wing. He had four clearances and laid some strong tackles, which he’s done over the past couple of weeks. Anthony continues to build on his game.
Tom Sheridan – 32 disposals (18 kicks, 14 handballs), 6 marks, 1 goal
Tom played as an inside mid and later went to a wing. He won a lot of the ball and ran hard through the lines. His bodywork improved inside the clearances, where he had five. He also laid five tackles. Tom’s strength is his ability to break the lines and create the overlap with his ran, and we saw passages of this on Friday.
Jacob Ballard – 25 disposals (15 kicks, 10 handballs), 5 marks, 4 inside 50s
Jacob played as a high forward and inside mid. He had plenty of the ball and showed he can have an impact around the clearances. Jacob brings great work rate, working hard from stoppage to stoppage and he also had an impact inside by using his strong body.
Brady Grey – 17 disposals (10 kicks, 7 handballs)
Brady tagged Rory O’Brien, who is an experienced WAFL player. O’Brien had a fair bit of it in the first quarter, but Brady became more proactive around the ball from quarter time, restricting O’Brien to three clearances. He improved his body positioning, where he had six clearances himself and continued to show great pressure where he puts his body on the line and chases hard. We’re continuing to educate Brady around this type of role and he’s shown a real willingness to learn.
Alex Silvagni - 17 disposals (13 kicks, 4 handballs)
It was a solid performance from Alex. He played on a variety of opposition and used the ball to good effect. He had strong impact in the air and was one of the better players on the ground.
