Amid the AFL’s 20 consecutive days of footy, Carlton’s Jack Martin was named one of Carlton’s best against Hawthorn last Friday afternoon at Optus Stadium.
Although the fast-starting Blues did not get the result they wanted in their first game on the west coast, Broome-born Martin was named one of Carlton’s best.
He had a great game under pressure in the midfield, amassing 15 disposals — 10 of which were contested — two goals, three score involvements, 15 pressure acts, three clearances and four tackles.
One of several Kimberley-born players, Sam Petrevski-Seton, had a solid game in defence, finishing with eight disposals, two marks and 12 pressure acts.
Meanwhile at Metricon Stadium, Derby’s Callum Ah Chee had a solid game in the back line for the Brisbane Lions in their 91-28 thumping of Essendon.
Ah Chee finished with 11 disposals, three score involvements, four marks, 13 pressure acts and four tackles.
The following day, Halls Creek’s Shane McAdam had a solid game up forward for the Adelaide Crows on Saturday, despite his team losing for the ninth time in a row.
McAdam amassed 10 disposals, two goals, five score involvements, five marks, 14 pressure acts and three tackles.
Meanwhile at Optus Stadium, Brendon Ah Chee had a quiet game in West Coast’s thrilling nine-point victory over Geelong after returning to the squad from a back injury.
Ah Chee finished with six disposals, a goal, two score involvements, seven pressure acts and two tackles.
