2017 Digest: Hampered by countless injury niggles over the years, but has had a settled summer and ready to form part of a strong back six.
2017 NAB Cup:
2017 Season
1 | Carl | Defender played a minor role taking a variety of opponents. Rarely put under pressure. | 5 |
2 | Coll | On Fasolo and although barely touched the ball probably took the honours due to the Magpie’s shocking finishing. | 4 |
3 | WCE | Directly played against LeCras and at times looked too immobile to go up against him. Could’ve potentially conceded 7 goals | 3 |
4 | Bris | Biggest moment was slotting the opening goal. Did do a stint minding Rockliff. | 4 |
5 | Melb | Lucky not to get pinged for an early deliberate, but was handy enough in the back half – especially early on when under siege. | 6 |
6 | Adel | The only shining light in the Tigers defence and denied Eddie Betts his 500th career goal. | 7 |
7 | WB | Lined up on Suckling initially and didn’t get a lot of the leather. | 3 |
8 | Frem | Had Crozier covered for the most part and defended well when ball came into his area. Nothing flashy but did his job. | 6 |
9 | GWS | Had time on Greene among others. Closing speed impressive and did all he could to keep Giants at bay. | 7 |
10 | Ess | Fantasia’s pace troubled him early and was moved to a more suitable opponent. Error late but steady enough after shaky start. | 5 |
11 | NM | Great game defending Wood (two goals). Only had the four kicks but his job was to defend and did that well. | 5 |
12 | Bye. | ||
13 | Syd | Formed a good team down back with Astbury and Rance. Injured leg in final term, but returned late. | 6 |
14 | Carl | Had a few interesting moments in defence, but eventually got the job done. | 6 |
15 | Port | Excellent job on Robbie Gray holding him to one goal. | 7 |
16 | StK | Flattened in marking contest by Membrey and left the field in second term. | 2 |
17 | Bris | Fairly steady down back and even bobbed up with a running shot on goal – that he missed. Important to structure. | 6 |
18 | GWS | Not asked to do too much in what was a quiet one for the rangy defender; 11 disposals. | 4 |
19 | GCS | Great battle with Wright, restricting him to one goal. Continuing an outstanding season. | 7 |
20 | Haw | Third tall defender took O’Brien for periods and shut him down like security on the final-term streaker. | 6 |
21 | Geel | Not big numbers but held his own against the dangerous Menzel. Always shows a heap of ticker. | 6 |
22 | Frem | Defended well without standing out. | 5 |
23 | StK | Did what was needed down back but helped by fact pressure from further afield was good. Had Membrey covered. | 6 |
QF | Geel | Had Dangerfield when forward and did that well. Very few touches but did his role. | 5 |
PF | GWS | Crashed into Himmelberg in first term and hurt a finger in third term, but defended resolutely. | 6 |
GF | Adel | Had the job Betts and after conceding early goal and stuck to him like the stodgiest dung you have ever seen. Key win for team. | 8 |
2016 Season
1 | Carl | On Walker down back and did a pretty good job. Showed desperation when required. | 6 |
2 | Coll | Pinged hammy in second quarter and was done for the night. OK beforehand. | 2 |
3 | Hamstring. | ||
4 | Hamstring. | ||
5 | Hamstring. | ||
6 | Hamstring. | ||
7 | Hamstring. | ||
8 | Syd | Matched up on Towers for long periods as was OK. Did his bit overall. | 5 |
9 | Frem | Five of his nine disposals were handball receives. He tried to create. | 4 |
10 | Ess | Read flight off ball well out of the midfield and got into some good defensive spots. | 7 |
11 | Hamstring. | ||
12 | GCS | Returned from injury and had role on small Suns forwards. Did well for the most part. | 6 |
14 | Bris | Mixed and matched down back on Hipwood and other Lion forwards. Fair. | 5 |
15 | Port | Did well to keep Wingard to two goals. | 5 |
16 | WB | Plugged away in defence. Made a few skill errors but saved a few goals as well. | 4 |
17 | Ess | Had shin issue, but returned to play good role in defence. Run down of Leuenberger a highlight. | 5 |
18 | Haw | Struggling until injured hamstring in second half and day was over. | 3 |
19 | GWS | Toiled hard in back half on Lobb and kept him accountable. | 5 |
20 | Coll | Had a variety of opponents down back and got in the way enough. OK. | 5 |
21 | Geel | Did well defensively on variety of opponents. No mistakes out of back half. | 7 |
22 | StK | Despite Membrey kicking two goals he tried hard to repel the tide. Among best. | 6 |
23 | Syd | Tough night. Came under constant pressure in back half. | 3 |
2015 Season
1 | Carl | Low-key job down back. | 5 |
2 | WB | Drifted forward for rare goal in first term but hot and cold in defence. | 4 |
3 | Hamstring. | ||
4 | Hamstring. | ||
5 | VFL | Looked rusty but will be better for the run. | - |
6 | NM | Battled Thomas for large parts and in the end found it a tough ask. | 4 |
7 | Coll | Some great one-on-one involvements his highlight from defence. | 5 |
8 | Port | Had the tough task of manning up on Wingard. | 4 |
9 | Ess | Beat Chapman in some crucial contests late. Played his role. | 6 |
10 | Frem | Started on Taberner in defence. No–nonsense display. | 6 |
12 | WCE | Toiled in defence and played low-key game. | 4 |
13 | Syd | Shadowed Goodes in Swans front half and got better as game wore on. | 6 |
14 | GWS | OK defensively but offered very little the other way. | 3 |
15 | Carl | Used back on Everitt/Menzel and had their measure comfortably. | 7 |
16 | StK | Blunted the dangerous Bruce in an important display. | 7 |
17 | Frem | Didn’t put boot on leather all day but kept Walters off the scoreboard. | 5 |
18 | Haw | Began on Gunston and had Rioli for a time. | 4 |
19 | Adel | Subbed out at half time with a knee injury. | 2 |
20 | Hamstring. | ||
21 | Hamstring. | ||
22 | Ess | Defended stoutly in aerial contests and looking better each week. | 7 |
23 | NM | Shared defence role on North talls and did usual workmanlike job. | 6 |
EF | NM | Attacked ball – and man with ferocity. Played a lesser role in second half though. | 6 |
2014 Season
1 | PM | Came through unscathed and will press for a senior spot soon. | - |
2 | Carl | On Everitt for a while at the start and not a big factor. | 4 |
3 | WB | Low key game. | 4 |
4 | Coll | Made a bad error that cost a goal and confidence sapped. | 3 |
5 | Bris | On Paparone and neither had a big impact. | 3 |
6 | Haw | Kept Gunston to two goals and did a solid job. | 6 |
7 | VFL | Fair down back but didn’t do enough for a recall. | - |
8 | VFL | Bye. | - |
9 | VFL | Tiger’s best in defence. Ready to return. | - |
10 | GWS | Did the job on Cameron when the Giant moved back to attack. | 6 |
11 | Ess | Under siege all night and found the going tough. At least tried to be positive. | 4 |
12 | Toe. | ||
13 | Frem | Has resting ruckman when forward and had no impact. Subbed out in third term. | 2 |
14 | Syd | Mostly had Goodes in first term then matched with B.Jack. OK. | 4 |
15 | StK | Capable in defence and also drifted down for a goal. | 5 |
16 | Bris | Had a variety of opponents and mixed it with them pretty well. Little offensively. | 4 |
17 | Port | Followed Wingard and was stretched at times, but ultimately kept him to one goal. | 6 |
18 | WCE | Kept McGovern from being a threat and got into good defensive positions. | 6 |
19 | GWS | Followed Hoskin-Elliott and was troubled at times by his athleticism. | 4 |

21 | Adel | Despite conceding two last quarter goals to J Pod, was strong in defence. | 5 |
22 | StK | Spent time on White and others. Had one notable passage of play setting up goal. Solid. | 5 |

2012 Season
1 | Carl | Had job on Garlett early. | 4 |

3 | Melb | Steady as a rock down back and played his role. Read the play well. | 6 |
