 St Joseph’s – Sam Clohesy (Local Player of the Week)

WESTERN REGION FOOTBALL LEAGUE

Lachlan Smart – Deer Park

Was solid early for the Lions against Yarraville Seddon before leaving the match with injury.

 
FITZROY CUBS (Played Carlton VFL)

Akol Deng – Initial work in the ruck was good, didn’t always get his hand to the ball first but his follow up, tackling and pressure kept him in the contest at all times.

Ariek Lual – One of the team’s best. Was dangerous up forward and jumped over his opponent regularly when in the ruck. Did the basics well, took plenty of marks and could’ve easily kicked a bag.

Bior Malul – Was an assured presence playing behind the footy. Very composed when in possession and was highly effective by hand and foot.

Emmanuel Ajang – Was impressive as an inside midfielder with his ability to win the ball, burst from the contest and work through traffic. One of the best until he copped a knock in the third term.

Reuben William – A very consistent performer over four quarters. Was good defending deep and equally as good through the middle of the ground. Was strong overhead.

Saad El-Hawli – Defensively was rarely beaten one-on-one and then pushed up the ground well and was dangerous forward of centre. Didn’t have huge possessions but didn’t waste what he had.   

Sam Paea – Started the game strong and continued to lead up well all day.
