2017 Digest:   Worked through summer and is fit and ready. One-paced type who wins the ball but needs to have greater impact.

2017 NAB Cup:  

2017 Season

1	GCS	Easily his best outing for Brisbane. Bobbed up in attack and booted a career best three goals.	6
2	Ess	Was in the thick of the action for three quarters but faded slightly when needed in final term.	6
3	NEAFL	35 possessions, 10 marks, eight clearances and five inside-50s highlight what was a huge outing.	-
4	NEAFL	Taken off after playing an excellent opening half. 15 possessions.	-
5	WB	Worked super hard but gets caught a lot and doesn’t have the spark to break away. Seven tackles but eight effective disposals.	2
6	NEAFL	Bye.	-
7	NEAFL	Can hold his head high. 28 touches, nine tackles and two goals in loss. Just had little support.	-
8	NEAFL	One of the Lions best in tight loss to Redland with 33 touches and nine clearances.	-
9	NEAFL	Superb effort in midfield. Won the ball inside and out and had good balance to his game.	-
10	Coll	No influence on the game with 12 scrappy disposals and seven tackles. Will he hold his spot?	3
11		Bye.
12	Frem	Did well off a wing and was a linkman out of defence, taking five uncontested marks.	5
13	Port	The Lions leading goal kicker with three including two in the first term.	7
14	GWS	Improved performance off a wing and even finished a couple of goals.	6
15	Ess	Usual gritty and whole-hearted display in middle. Kicked crucial goal late.	5
16	Geel	Had a forgettable stint on Blicavs in defence before bagging three goals to turn his own fortunes around.	6
17	Rich	Some nice touches and was neat in front of goal, but has to get more of the footy.	6
18	Carl	Threatened early to play a big part. Only performed in patches though, despite the Lions overall dominance.	5
19	WCE	Had five clearances in his 28 possessions. Also kicked a goal.	7
20	WB	In the action a lot. Snagged two goals but there are times when his kicking lets him down. Half of his 12 kicks were ineffective.	5
21	GCS	Was prone to making errors but got better as game progressed.	6
22	Melb	Battled hard for 22 disposals, one goal and three tackles. Not a really penetrating player.	6
23	NM	Kept battling away n defensive role.	4

2016 Season

1	WCE	Showed courage and worked hard to win the ball.	5
2	NM	Worked hard through the middle and used the footy well.	5
3	Geel	Ran with Selwood at times and that task proved beyond him. Four clearances and one inside-50.	5
4	GCS	Battled along until coming alive in last quarter. Last quarter goal sealed victory.	5
5	WB	Worked hard despite the tide flowing in the opposite direction after an early injury scare.	6
6	Syd	Deserves to start next time around after hearty effort.	6
7	Port	Unassuming performance, won plenty of footy without hurting the opposition.	7
8	Coll	Used in various on-ball roles with some effect.	5
9	Melb	Won some ball but didn’t hurt the Dees to any great degree. Under pressure a lot.	4
10	Haw	Clearance work at stoppages the only highlight in a quiet performance.	4
11	Carl	Returned to some form with 20 touches and seven tackles. Battled on well.	6
12	Frem	Tried to be an option through the midfield and booted a goal.	5
13	WCE	Started as the “seventh” man in defence. One of his better games for the Lions.	6
14	Rich	Got a bit of ball in midfield but didn’t really hurt Richmond with many of his touches.	5
16	GCS	Struggled to get involved with just the 12 possessions.	3
17	GWS	For someone with more than 130 games experience, he lacked presence. Looked lost.	4
18	Ess	Workmanlike game in middle and pushed forward for snap goal. Steady contributor.	7
19	Port	One of his better games this season but still found wanting at times.	6
20	Adel	Laid 12 tackles and had seven clearances. Tried hard throughout.	7
21	Carl	One of his best games for the Lions. Showed courage when marking a high ball in defence.	7
22	Geel	Five clearances and three inside-50s but made a few mistakes with ball in hand.	6
23	StK	For someone of his experience a greater input would be expected.	4

2015 Season

Played for : North Melbourne

1	Adel	Broke the tide on 10 unanswered goals from the Crows.	5
2		-
3	Port	Escaped sub vest but didn’t make the most of it. A bit one-paced.	5
4	Geel	Went to Selwood in second term and good on him around stoppages.	5
5	Haw	Did some good things early but impact waned as game wore on.	4
6	Rich	Sub. On late in game when it was all over and grabbed a few touches.	4
7	Ess	Not huge with two clearances and two inside-50s. Handy.	5
8	Frem	Won four clearances, so was at the coalface. Tried hard.	6
9	Coll	OK in midfield but lacks a yard when needed.	5
10	WCE	Won some ball backward of centre. Last term very good.	6
11	Syd	Won a lot of possessions deep in defence and didn’t hurt the Swans.	4
12	VFL	Back to ball-winning ways with 29 possessions in win.	-
13	VFL	Bye.	-
14	VFL	Starred in North Ballarat defeat with 34 disposals, 15 clearances.	-
15	Geel	Four clearances, five inside-50s and a mountain of possession in solid game.	7
16	Ess	One of his better games this year. Good with ball in hand and hit scoreboard.	7
17	Bris	Last-quarter goal capped off a solid night.	6
18	Carl	In and out of the game without a big impact.	4
19	VFL	Decent response to AFL axing with 21 disposals.	-
20	VFL	Huge. 44 disposals, 10 marks, seven clearances, one goal.	-
21	Frem	On as sub at last change and got involved.	2

7	GCS	Struggled to get his hands on the ball enough around the stoppages.	5
9	Bris	Surprise start as sub and came on at three quarter time.	1

11	WCE	In the thick of the action and had a good night.	6
12	Rich	Two goals but another who is struggling a little to find his best.	5
13	Adel	Pushed forward for a goal in the last quarter after a soft free kick.	5
14	Melb	Two clearances and four inside-50s but never a huge factor.	5
15	Bris	Huge first term with 10 touches. Then just nine more for the game.	6
16	Haw	Solid contributor in midfield and kicked a handy goal.	6
17	StK	Without having a tagging role he was able to let his game flow.	7
18	Carl	Had run with role on Murphy in first half then shifted.	4
19	Geel	Horrendous first half then lifted to grab 13 disposals in third term.	6

21	WB	Strong at the contest all through.	6
22	Adel	Reined in Dangerfield in second half.	6
