STRATHFIELDSAYE onballer Jake Moorhead has become the first Storm player to top Premier Data's Bendigo Football-Netball League player of the round rankings.

Moorhead's brilliant start to the season continued on Saturday with another starring performance in the Storm's round four 101-point win over Castlemaine at Camp Reserve.

Moorhead racked up 195 ranking points and joins Gisborne's Brad Bernacki (199, round 1), Golden Square's Jake Thrum (205, round 2) and Gisborne's Pat McKenna (258, round 3) as players of the round over the first month of the season.

Moorhead's best-on-ground performance against the Magpies featured a round-high 45 possessions as he amassed 26 kicks and 19 handballs.

Of Moorhead's 45 touches, 16 were contested, while he also took 13 marks, had nine clearances and nine inside-50s.

It has been a prolific first month of the season for Moorhead, who has got better week by week - 33 possessions/89 ranking points v Eaglehawk round 1; 36/129 v Sandhurst round 2, 37/156 v Kyneton round 3 and Saturday's 45/195 v Castlemaine.

Moorhead was one of three players across the BFNL to have at least 40 touches on Saturday.

South Bendigo coach Nathan Horbury, who had gone into the Bloods' clash with Kyneton under an injury cloud, had 44 disposals, while Golden Square wingman Jake Thrum had 40 possessions in wet conditions against Eaglehawk.

The classy Horbury was the round's No.2 ranked player with 177 points.

As well as his 44 disposals (24 kicks, 20 handballs), Horbury also took six marks, had five effective tackles, 10 clearances and drove the ball inside 50 10 times.

With 25 disposals, 16 marks, including 11 contested, and six goals against Kangaroo Flat, young Sandhurst forward Cobi Maxted - who is on Collingwood's VFL list - was the No.3 ranked player for the round with 174 points.

Across the season as a whole, star Gisborne midfielder Brad Bernacki continues to hold a significant lead in the Premier Data player rankings

Bernacki holds the No.1 spot with 724 points and is also the top ranked player for disposals (157), handballs (77), clearances (61) and score involvements (38).

Bernacki had a 125-point game in Saturday's 141-point win over Maryborough at Princes Park that lifted the Bulldogs to the top of the ladder.
