3. Darcy Wilson (-1)
The Saints wingman had arguably his lowest performance of his short career so far in the red, white and black, amassing just the five effective disposals on Saturday night.
The teenager's 10 touches were Wilson's second lowest tally for the year as he struggled to have the same impact on the game we've come to see in recent months.
The Murray Bushrangers product couldn't register a score involvement in the win despite having five inside 50 entries.
