Best: Gleeson, Harbrow, Young, Street, Hahn, Pask

Cam Faulkner: Finished with 26 possessions. Used the ball very well and has pushed his chances for selection in the Bulldogs side.

Tom Williams: Worked hard, wasn’t his best performance in the backline but he did well during his time playing in the ruck.

Malcolm Lynch: Was productive as a small forward and provided the side with a lot of spark.

Andrejs Everitt: Gained more valuable experience and continued to show improvement.

Teghan Henderson: Had a quiet day on the stats sheet, but he showed real intensity at the ball and put a lot of pressure on the opposition.

Jarrod Young: Played on one of their prime movers and kept him to a handful of possessions as he returned to the form he showed last year.

Scott Howard: Did his job on the day as he was used up the ground.

Dom Gleeson: He is in pretty good form at the moment and is one of our most valuable players at the stoppages. Finished the match with 28 possessions.

Jordan Barham: Was a good target up forward. He needs to work on his touch but he managed to finish with two goals.

Matthew Robbins: Kicked 4 goals and was pretty lively up forward. Also spent some time in the midfield and did well.

Marty Pask: Was our best backman for the match. Played on some of their better forwards and provided a really good contest.

Mitch Hahn: His best performance with us since his return. Kicked two goals and provided great leadership.

Jarrod Harbrow: Was nearly best on ground, finishing with 31 possessions and three goals as he caused headaches for the opposition.

James Podsiadly: He kicked six goals as our key forward. His forward line pressure was good and he took some strong marks throughout the match.

Andrew McDougall: Played a good game. Presented well in the forward line and finished with 24 touches, 9 marks and kicked 2 goals.

Wayde Skipper: Dominated in the ruck alongside Peter Street. Finished with 23 hitouts, two goals and gave us first use of footy.

Michael Rockefeller: He is a tough and hard player who does all the right things and continued to show good signs on the weekend.

Robbie Castello: Continued his good form, played mainly down back and finished with 25 possessions.

Josh Hill: Played well mainly on the wing and the half back line. Runs and carries the ball well.

Travis Baird: showed some fight to come back after a bad start, got himself into the game towards the end.

Jake Furfaro: He was pretty good but needs to show his intensity more. He is a good swing player for us.

Peter Street: He dominated in the ruck, played with great spirit and did the hard stuff. Finished with 28 hitouts.

Michael West: His ruck work is improving, but he needs more output around the ground.

Brennan Stack: Ran off and created well from the backline.

Paul O’Shea: Played a serviceable game at fullback.

Gavin Hughes: Played half forward and on the ball. Continues to improve, winning his own footy and was able to set up a lot of forward movements.
