1) Parish’s pressure
After missing the previous two weeks due to a calf injury, midfield gun Darcy Parish certainly didn’t wait to insert his dominance on the game.
The 24-year-old produced a game-high seven tackles, highlighting his in and under efforts all day.
2) Merrett’s goal sense
Three snaps, three goals.
Vice-captain Zach Merrett did what every midfielder aspires to do, push forward and kick goals.
Merrett kicked an equal game-high three goals, all of which were required when the Dons needed them the most.
3) Martin’s marathon
Nic Martin has dazzled in his first year with his exquisite skills and mature composure with the ball.
However, Martin’s running ability has been a key reason for his meteoric rise.
The 21-year-old produced a game-high 15.8km running effort – highlighting his impressive tank.
4) Kelly didn’t miss
20 disposals, not one missed target.
It was an impressive day for the man known as ‘The Bull’, who registered a game-high 100 per cent disposal efficiency.
It caps off a solid few weeks for Kelly in his first year as a Bomber.
5) Hepp gets amongst it
Dyson Heppell not only provided the leadership needed for a stunning win over Sydney, he was also a key factor in the Bombers’ scoring power.
The Dons captain produced a team-high nine score involvements, highlighting Heppell’s ability to produce defensive to offensive scoring.
