Player Notes (Not all players covered)
Stephen Coniglio
Was a standout for the Giants as an inside midfielder, found plenty of space often calling to receive a hit up short kick, solid game.
Lachie Whitfield
Recorded 29 Disposals after a very slow start & finish, roamed all over the field in what was a low intensity game.
Tim Taranto
Recorded 28 Disposals on the back of a big last Qtr, attended a high number of centre bounces.
Jeremy Cameron
Not as influential as last week, tended to be a stay at home forward this week, kicked 2 Goals from 5 scoring shots.
Heath Shaw
Defensive role, often part of a switch of play in the backline, just 8 Disposals in the 2nd half.
Brett Deledio
Increased his game time compared to last week, 20 Disposals & 5 Marks from 63% game time.
Isaac Cumming
One to keep an eye on, looks all class, 12 Disposals & 5 Marks from 65% game time.
Jackson Hately
Attended a few centre bounces early, probably needs a little bit more time to develop, once ready could be a significant ball winning player.
Toby Greene
Just a short outing, had an impact, 12 Disposals & 1 Goal from 32% game time in a small forward role.
Aiden Bonar
Was able to run with a few opposition mids early, just can’t seem to win enough of his own ball yet, further development required.

Matt Crouch
Monster game, recorded 38 Disposals mostly in space with ease, added 9 Tackles.
Brad Crouch
Back to back solid games for Brad, 31 Disposals from 79% game time, looks super fit.
Rory Sloane
Recorded 19 Disposals in the first half, finished with 28 Disposals from 69% game time, was shut down late in the game, no real opposition attention, very solid.
Sam Jacobs
Was able to work all over the ground, recorded 22 Disposals, 6 Marks & 28 Hit Outs, very solid.
Bryce Gibbs
Slowly worked his way into the game, 27 Disposals from 74% game time.
Brodie Smith
11 Disposals in the first half & 14 in the second half, looks ready to go in a defensive role, was able to take a few kick-ins.
Rory Laird
Was quiet in the second half, didn’t need to impact in what was a low intensity game.
Chayce Jones
Played a small pressure forward role, recorded 9 Disposals, 5 Marks & 2 Goals, might have played himself into the Round 1 team, looks quality.
