Rhylee West
20 touches, two goals, six clearances
West provided a real spark for Footscray all day, cracking in at the contest and finishing smart in front of goal. Provided the highlight of the day, nearly dragging down a big mark before gathering and snapping from long range. Could be the wildcard deep into September.

Solid at the back again for Jed, taking eight marks and playing his role defensively. Looks to be more comfortable at the level with each game he plays and will relish the September action in coming weeks.

In partnership with the likes of Crozier and Cleary, controlled the back-half well and took seven marks. Showed lots of courage at different points and is building his game off an extended break.
Luke Cleary

Didn’t do a lot wrong throughout the game and approached in his usual calm and measured manner. Used the ball well and found teammates in space at different times. Relishes the opportunity to distribute with more senior bodies in the back line.

A typical defender’s game from Gardner with the backline in sync against Casey. Inserted himself into the contest early with a number of big spoils and is a key cog in the finals push for Footscray.
