Lachie Ash was underwhelming with an 82, and Bailey Smith was equally as disappointing with 79. Luke Jackson was shut down by Bulldogs ultra defensive gameplan only reaching 77. Luke Parker had a role change and got stuck on 74, thanks Clarko. Zac Bailey epitomised what happened to the Lions with a 62.
