VFL gun Louis Pinnuck shines for the Lions

- By Aydin Payne

The round 18 win at the weekend may linger in the minds of Seymour players and supporters for days to come.

Despite walking away with a 78-point win, Seymour missed out on finals action in soul crushing circumstan­ces.

The triumph at Deakin Reserve over Shepparton United was a chance for supporters to see some of the club’s classy performers in full swing.

VFL talent Louis Pinnuck was a standout in his first appearance for the club.

The Werribee defender, who has nominated Seymour as his home club, showcased why he is a valued member of the VFL outfit.

Thanks to GVL Data, we can highlight that Pinnuck had 33 disposals as he patrolled the half-back flanks and wings at Deakin Reserve.

The Strathmert­on export chalked up eight inside 50s and six rebound 50s to go along with his three score assists.

Meanwhile, Seymour was able to flex its muscles against a gallant United outfit.

The Lions owned possession with +46 disposals, +33 marks and +15 contested possession­s.

The Lions used the ball at 72 per cent efficiency by foot, compared to United’s 54 per cent.

However, United was able to win the clearance count (39-24).
