Cade Scott and Darcy Prest both worked tirelessly in the midfield, Sean Ryan was busy around the packs and Jack Briskey was strong up forward booting 3 goals and also having a run in the ruck. Lachlan Davies as also a good player in ruck and was named as the "Grey Magpies" best player
Lawson Campbell at half back tried hard to keep the Grange forwards out while Rory Edwards was also a good player on the wing.
