It was a hard-fought round of footy for our Kimberley players this week, with several crushing defeats and a couple of close wins.

Halls Creek’s Sam Petrevski-Seton returned to the field on Friday night, for the West Coast-Richmond clash after being out with an injury.

Petrevski-Seton had 17 disposals in his return match but it wasn’t enough to stave off the Tigers who smashed West Coast by 109 points, 25.15 (165) to 8.8 (56), extending the Eagles’ losing streak.

It was the Eagles biggest loss at Optus stadium and their worst defeat since 2008.

Halls Creek’s Shane McAdam managed to get a few kicks in for the Adelaide Crows on Saturday afternoon, scoring a behind but it wasn’t enough to keep the Greater Western Sydney Giants at bay, who crushed the Crows by 59 points, 17. 11 (113) to 8.6 (54).

Jack Martin continued his goal scoring streak this week, kicking two for the Blues over the match against North Melbourne and helping them to victory.

Martin had consistent shots at goal throughout the match, kicking a goal in the first, a behind in the second and a behind and a goal in the third.

Carlton managed to pull in front of the Kangaroos in the third term after a tight previous two quarters, kicking five consecutive unanswered goals.

Carlton maintained the lead for the remainder of the match, winning by 50 points, 17.12 (114) to 10.4 (64).

Gold Coast put up a good fight against the Magpies on Sunday morning, with Halls Creek’s Jy Farrar tallying eight disposals throughout the match for the Suns.

However Collingwood managed to stay in front for the whole match despite the Suns’ best efforts finishing 25-point victors, 17.13 (115) to 14.6 (90).

It was a tough-fought match for the Brisbane Lions against the Swans on Sunday afternoon, with their half-time lead evaporating in the third.

Callum Ah Chee, hailing from Derby, helped the Lions bring their score back into the green, booting a goal halfway through the fourth quarter.

The Lions managed to hold the Swans back for the last quarter taking the win by 24 points, 17.11 (113) to 13.11 (89).

Unfortunately there was no sign of Broome locals Joel Hamling and Bailey Banfield in the Dockers’ clash against the Geelong Cats.
