‘Disco’ has all the right moves for the Pies

- MONDAY, AUGUST 31, 2020 •

GLENORCHY’S Ben Kamaric produced one of the top three individual performanc­es of the TSL season on Saturday to underline his status as one of the underrated stars of the competitio­n.

The Pies’ reigning best-andfairest winner was sorely missed earlier in the year but his return has coincided with the Pies’ form surge and his monster effort at KGV was a major reason the side exacted revenge on Clarence.

“Disco” had 35 possession­s, 10 marks, eight clearances, seven inside 50s, seven rebound 50s and kicked one goal on route to a round-high 152 player ranking points.

It was the third-highest effort recorded this season, behind Jobi Harper (174 ranking points) against the Tigers in round three and Keiran Lovell’s 153-point effort against Clarence in round five.

North Launceston superstar Brad Cox-Goodyer did a bit of everything in North’s victory against Launceston, gathering 23 touches. Jobi Harper was again the Blues’ best with 26 disposals, while Dylan Riley kicked eight goals.
