Sonny shows his class
Michael Walters wowed spectators as he danced and weaved out of a tight spot against the boundary line and avoided two tacklers with a step and spin, then hit his target down the line with a pinpoint kick off his left boot.

Q3

Sharp Shooter
Lachie Schultz had already made an impact on the match with his tackling pressure and intent to win the ball, but his kick inside 50 to a leading Josh Treacy was one of his best highlights from the match. Treacy led out from goal and Schultz weighted his kick perfectly over the defender to place it right into the path of the rookie’s lead. Treacy made sure of the goal to top off the play.

Cerra’s pressure
Adam Cerra ramped up the pressure in the midfield after laying two crunching tackles within a short period of time, earning himself a free kick on one of the occasions. The two tackles were just a small sample of his output both defensively and with the footy.

White work it forward
After smothering a kick on the wing, Leno Thomas stole the ball and delivered it to Liam Henry in the middle of the ground. Henry then gave a handball to Mitch Crowden who cleverly snapped the ball over his shoulder under pressure to find Josh Treacy on his own inside 50. Treacy then kicked a nice set shot for his second goal of the match.

Q4

Schultz shows courage
