It is indeed where we look at how some of our Tasmanian players went across the country this week. Thanks to Battery World Book a Free Battery Check at Battery World Hobart. In the AFL Bernies Brody Myre Check will unfortunately miss the rest of the home and away season after rupturing his tendon. The pie is leading goalkeeper for the last five years, will have surgery in the coming days, and is a chance to return. If the reigning premier's make the finals, Myre Check had six disposals, two marks, three score involvements, and kicked a goal during his time on the ground. Dodger's ferry and Hobart's Jeremy Howe played permanently as a forward in the pie's loss to the bombers. The high flyer looked at home and attacked with 11 disposals, six marks, four inside 50s and two goals. North Foneys Riley Sanders was solid in the Bulldogs, heavy defeat against the power. Last year's six overall pick had 22 disposals, two tackles, two clearances and four score involvements. Launceston's Colby McCurcher played the best game of his young career in North Melbourne's Nilebiting win, I should say, over Gold Coast. In his first game back in the seniors since he suffered bone stress in his foot, the half-back finish with a game high 37 disposals, six marks, 666 metres gained five score involvements and a memorable run down the wing where he took four bounces before setting up Nick Larky. It was also the first victory McCurcher's experience at AFL level. North Onceston's Toby Nann Kervis was arguably Richmond's best in its big loss to free medal. The Tigers skipper put on a clinic in the rack, finishing with an equal high team at high 26 disposals, a game high 11 clearances, 36 hit out, seven tackles and six score involvements. fellow North Onceston product Ryan Mantzel played his role up forward with 11 disposals, five tackles, five score involvements and a goal. Lonnie Zarey Schalmaik got to experience his first win in the AFL as the Saints knocked off the latter leading swans. The first year defender had 13 disposals, five marks and two inside fifties. Knorky's Jimmy Webster was also important down back for the seniors with 15 disposals, four marks, four tackles and six intercept possessions. Bernie's Robbie Fox played his first senior game since round 11 after recovering from an AC joint injury. The utility was solid on return with 13 disposals, four intercept possessions and a goal. To VFL and VFLW, Launceston's James Leake had another impressive game as he continues to work his way back from his early injury setbacks. The first round pick finished with 24 disposals, six marks, eight tackles, four clearances, four inside fifties and six intercept possessions. North Hobart's Jay Menzie responded after being dropped from Essen and senior side. He had eight disposals, three tackles and kicked two goals in the bomber's win over Port Melbourne. Knorky Sarah Skinner's VFL season is still alive after the Bulldogs took Port Melbourne in Saturday's semi-final. The former Sydney Swan had 15 disposals, nine tackles and a clearance. The dogs will now face Williamstown in this week's pre-limb final. North Melbourne and a couple of our Tasmanian kangaroos are through to the VFLW grand final. Old Scotcher's Georgia Nichols was named one of the side's best with 10 disposals, four inside fifties, four score involvements and a goal. Old Launcestonians, Product Jennifer Guy also had 10 disposals, four tackles, three intercept possessions and a goal. We go to the Sandfall and Sandfall W now and Alveson's Candice Belwin unfortunately can't call herself a SandfallW premiership player but gave her all in Nord's five-point grand final loss to South Adelaide. She had a team high 19 disposals, nine tackles and six clearances. Her strong performance led to her finishing third in the votes for the best on ground metal world unto you Candice. So plenty happening for our Tasmanian players right around the country. That brings us to the end of a huge edition of the Devil's Advocate. Great to have Alistah Richardson and also Nick Street as my special guests. We'll do it all again next Monday until then have a great week whatever you're up to and we'll see you next time.
