Jedd Busslinger
11 disposals, eight marks
Jedd continues to build on his defensive game. The opportunity to play with and against quality AFL experience is holding him in good stead and fast-tracking his development.
Charlie Clarke
Eight disposals, two tackles, two goals
Charlie saw reward for effort at the weekend, adding two goals from eight disposals. While it was a lesser output than previous weeks, he continues to finetune his forward craft and cause headache for opposition defenders.
Hayden Crozier
18 disposals, five marks, five tackles, four rebound 50s
Croz has enjoyed a solid month as one of Footscray’s most consistent players. Averaging 19 disposals, six marks and three tackles this season, his senior experience and on-field leadership is second to none.
Harvey Gallagher
11 disposals, two marks, four tackles, one clearance
Since overcoming an interrupted start to the year, Harvey has impacted well in his first few outings for Footscray. His pressure is great and he brings a different dynamic to the mix.
Tim O’Brien
19 disposals, eight marks, two inside 50s
TO was strong against Frankston, and read the ball in the air extremely well. Between him and Jedd – who also finished with eight marks – they intercepted well and were important members of the back six.
Buku Khamis
11 disposals, two marks, two goals
It was great to see Buku rewarded on the scoreboard again. His attitude is great and he’s making a good impact for the ‘Scray.
Caleb Poulter
16 disposals, three marks, five tackles, three inside 50s
Caleb continues to build week after week. His running capacity is great, and he continues to put the team-first.
Robbie McComb
20 disposals, three marks, six tackles, one goal
Robbie had a well-rounded performance. He was the Bulldogs’ second-highest disposal-getter (behind captain Lachie Sullivan) and was strong in the contest.
Mitch Hannan
16 disposals, six marks, four inside 50s, five goals
Mitch backed up last week’s three-goal haul with another five, bringing his tally to eight majors this past fortnight. He took some strong marks and his ability to convert has been critical in helping the team secure the win.
Lachie McNeil
19 disposals, three marks, five tackles, three inside 50s, three clearances
Lachie returned to the ‘Scray after a stint as the AFL substitute, and did not put a foot wrong. His ball use was good and he made an impact.
Luke Cleary
18 disposals, four marks, five tackles, four rebound 50s
Clizz has enjoyed a great patch of football over the past fortnight, highlighted by his addition as an AFL emergency in the round 13 clash. He is agile and athletic, and uses the ball with composure.
Roarke Smith
18 disposals, six marks, four inside 50s, two clearances
Roarke continues to build on his match minutes after returning from a pre-season ankle injury. He was important in the win, with six marks and 18 touches.
Cody Raak
Nine disposals, three marks, two inside 50s, one goal
Cody found a way to hit the scoreboard against Frankston which was great for his confidence. He continues to build each week.
Jordon Sweet
11 disposals, two marks, five tackles, 45 hit-outs
Sweety’s dominance in the ruck has been prolific this season. Winning another 40+ hit-outs against Frankston is first class and shows just how strong he has been.
Ryan Gardner
15 disposals, five marks
Gardy added more experience to the Dogs’ defence, joining the likes of Croz and TO. He was important in the air – taking five marks – and took everything in his stride.
