LUKE RYAN
Luke Ryan's 11 rebound 50s against Adelaide trails only Luke Ryan in club history.
Amazingly, Ryan's record of 15 rebound 50s came during 2020 - when games were shorter - as Freo fell to Geelong in the wet at Optus Stadium.
It's the second time Ryan has had 11 rebound 50s in a game. Joel Hamling, Matthew Pavlich and Brad Wira have also achieved the feat.
