Kimberley AFL stars shine in round four despite mixed results

Kimberley AFL stars Bailey Banfield, Callum Ah Chee and Toby Bedford took to the field for round four of the 2024 AFL season, again showing the competition what it means to play with Kimberley spirit. Broome favourite Banfield again proved himself as a dangerous asset in front of goals with the forward collecting a goal in the first quarter. Despite scoring the first goal of the match, Carlton was put on the back foot by the dynamic duo of Banfield and Tom Emmett who scored back-to-back goals to answer the Blues. Unfortunately the efforts went to waste as Carlton managed to take the lead during the pointy end of the last term in controversial circumstances, handing the Dockers their first loss of the season, 10.13 (73) to 9.9 (63). Ah Chee managed to get onto the field and off the bench and went on to collect 17 disposals in Brisbane’s massive win over North Melbourne, 16.16 (112) to 6.6 (42). Bedford up in the half-forward position collected seven disposals over the course of the match with a clearance as the Giants defeated Gold Coast, 18.9 (117) to 13.11 (89). Unfortunately, there was no sign of fellow Kimberley AFL players Shane McAdam, Jack Martin, Jy Farrar, Ash Johnson, Joel Hamling and Liam Henry.
