Re: Round 6 2021 - Footscray Bulldogs v Frankston
Mitch Wallis
16 disposals, five tackles, one goal
“’Wall’ spent time predominantly as a forward, which was good for him. He competed well all night and sat under a few uncomfortable positions in the aerial contests, but it was good to see him follow through and get on the end of a goal, which was a nice reward for his hard work.”
Josh Schache
14 disposals, three marks, three goals
“’Schach’ probably set the tone for us – he competed really well. He kicked his three goals in the first half which was pleasing. We’re so much safer up forward with him flying for those big marks, because he’s either marking them or creating ground-level plays for some of our smalls.”
Rhylee West
27 disposals, seven marks, six tackles, three goals
“’Westy’ was good again and at his combative best. He’s either taking the ball or playing the body, which is one of his greatest strengths. When he was able to get forward, he obviously left a couple of opportunities out there but ended up with 3.3 which was a reward for his hard work.”
Louis Buttler
29 disposals, six marks, one goal
“’Buts’ continued on again – he’s got that wing role down pat now. His running ability to get from one end of the ground to the other is second to none. He’s progressing well, and definitely putting his hand up each week which is pleasing.”
SHAREBuku Khamis
19 disposals, three marks
“Buku came back after his AFL debut and was safe for us as always. He shores up the backline with his communication and setting up, and just made us look a lot safer behind the ball.”
Ben Cavarra
19 disposals, 10 tackles
“’Cav’ just grinded out the game. He battled hard all day and had his chances on the wing - it was good to see him start trying to add a few more strings to his bow.”
Dom Bedendo
11 disposals, three marks, three goals
“’Dommy’ brought good scoreboard pressure for us. To then end up with three goals was great – what we love about ‘Dommy’ is that when he makes his decisions, he does so with speed. He makes multiple efforts to scrap and disrupt and get involved in chains, which is great growth for him as well.

31 disposals, seven marks, three tackles
“’Hayesy’ off half-back provides us with a lot of bounce out of defence. He continues to find plenty of the ball and is looking more and more comfortable week-to-week.”2021 VFL season with a bang, sitting equal first on the ladder after the opening six rounds.
Riley Garcia
28 disposals, three tackles
“’Sunny’ was great again – similar to ‘Westy’, he went with the ball and opposition, and never second-guessed it. He’s building really nicely."
Ryan Gardner
10 disposals, three marks, three tackles
“’Gards’ was coming back in after a big stint out on the sidelines – just to have him back out there and playing footy again was great. It was a good first effort back.”
