4	VFL	Flitted in and out of the game but certainly wasn’t the factor he hoped given age and experience.	-
5	StK	First kick for Cats was a goal and ended with two, seven marks and 21 disposals in solid debut for new club.	6
6	Coll	Good form lasted just the one week. Seven effective disposals and no goals. Does he return to the VFL?	2

16	VFL	14 possessions, but just the one mark in loss to Collingwood.	-
17	VFL	Not sure if he finds a way back into seniors as finals near. Just 14 disposals and not much influence.	-
18	VFL	Was ok but needs to improve defensively before he can find his way back into the senior team.	-
19	VFL	Led from the front as captain with three goals.	-
