“To see him play the way he did tonight after he’d been under such duress (illness) in the early part of the week was a testament to his intestinal fortitude really.”
Josh Dunkley and Marcus Bontempelli
“We’ve probably had more of a designated partnerships forwards approach over the last 3-4 weeks, and that’s meant that Josh Dunkley’s looked a bit more dangerous as a forward, obviously Marcus (Bontempelli has been here and there (midfield/forward).”
Adam Treloar and Bailey Smith
“And the Adam Treloar/Bailey Smith situation is really challenging teams (midfield/forward).”
Alex Keath
“He gives us some stability (in defence).”

Kieran Strachan and Reilly O’Brien
