Yes, we've got just enough time for take five, because the best five defenders from the last round of fixtures at the weekend. And the first guy top off the wazza is a bloke, I reckon, who is all Australian bound this week. Adelaide's Wayne Millerer against Sydney. 26 disposals, 12 marks, 4 tackles, 585 metres gained. 5 score involvements, 5 intercept possessions. I'll be stunned if he's not wearing an all Australian blazer come the end of the season. Second one, Dan Huston. It took him a while to bed down his role at Collingwood, but he's certainly starting to thrive now. He's part of the big mid-season Collingwood revival. One goal won, 25 disposals, 9 marks, 467 metres gained.
7 score involvements, 5 intercept possessions. Third one up, Harris Andrews. A typically dominant display against the West Coast Eagles. They kept on kicking the bloody ball to him, and he kept on marking the bloody thing. 22 disposals, 12 marks, 262 metres gained. 5 contested marks, 10 intercept possessions. Jarman Impey, another one who I think is pretty much all Australian bound. He's a bit older than you think, but he's also a bit better than you think. 34 disposals for Hawthorne, 11 marks. One goal, 680 metres gained.
7 score involvements, 7 intercept possessions. And finally, his team's not going that flash, but Sam Collins continues to play very strongly in defence for the Gold Coast Sun. So in the narrow loss to the Western Bulldogs, it certainly wasn't Sam Collins' fault. He had 18 disposals, 10 marks, 3 tackles, 10 intercept possessions, and 3 score involvements in that game. Apologies to Aliyah Aliyah. And I mentioned Harris Andrews against West Coast, and West Coast just kicking the ball to him.
Well, for a long time, it felt like Aliyah Aliyah was wearing a freemantle jumper in the freemantle Port Adelaide game at the weekend as well. They would just go forward, and Aliyah Aliyah would be there waiting on the end of it. So apologies to Aliyah. He had 18 disposals, took 13 marks, 298 metres gained, two contested marks, 10 intercept possessions, and two score involvements. Just a quick one before we go to news.
Tucky saying, is it worth West Coast Eagles playing Elliot Yeoh in defence for the derby to get some confidence back? I don't think he can do the running anymore, Tucky. I think that's the big problem, and I think that's why Danny Laidley is suggesting that Elliot needs to be managed, and maybe even put out to pasture a bit early this season to get him ready for next year, to make sure that he is able to get through another full year at the West Coast Eagles. Well, we got a big second hour coming up. Duff and the Doctor with Dr. Sean Gorman coming up straight after the news, but let's take that news first.
