The performance of Tim Kelly was one of the outstanding individual displays of the season.

The club has focused on its starts, particularly in away games, and Kelly was one of the players who set the early tone as the Eagles kicked five of the first six goals.

He was prolific through the midfield racking up 11 possessions, four clearances and six score involvements in an opening quarter statement.

His impact did not waiver as he racked up 32 possessions, 15 of them contested, a team-high eight clearances, 12 score involvements and 480 metres gained when the ball was in his hands.
