2017 NAB Cup:
2017 Season
1 | GWS | Three goals from the wing and a whopping 10 inside-50's. | 8 |
2 | Haw | Added 19 touches and a goal to his superb Round 1 effort. Speed and playmaking welcome addition to midfield. | 7 |
3 | Port | Was prominent without stamping himself into the game. | 6 |
4 | Ess | Two crucial goals including a bomb from outside 50. | 5 |
5 | GCS | Linked up well with defence and pumped the ball inside 50 a team high eight times. | 7 |
6 | Rich | Hard to believe he has played less than forty games, outstanding on the wing. | 7 |
7 | NM | Had 20 touches, but those numbers flatter. Hair-do looked like a Frisbee sitting atop his noggin. Back to the hairdresser. | 4 |
8 | Melb | Nice goal from a tight angle in the second term when the Crows were up. Not his best game though. | 5 |
9 | Bris | Another vital cog in a very slick midfield operation although his skill level was off on occasion. | 6 |
10 | Frem | Won a game high 37 possessions including four clearances, five inside-50’s and five rebound-50’s. | 7 |
11 | Geel | One kick in opening half and seven for the match in what was a big fall from the highs of 37 against Fremantle. | 2 |
12 | StK | Slowly returning to the form which had him burning up the wing earlier in the season. | 6 |
13 | Bye. | ||
14 | Haw | Kicking was poor in the first term but made amends for the rest of the game. | 6 |
15 | Carl | Was in a three on one contest in the last quarter and did well to win his team the footy with a free kick. | 6 |
16 | WB | Six rebound-50’s and a classy goal in the second term, still needs to tidy up his disposal efficiency. | 6 |
17 | Melb | Had 17 touches, but wasn’t a massive factor on the outside in the win. | 5 |
18 | Geel | Huge first half help side get away from the Cats. Found plenty of space to use his left foot. | 7 |
19 | Coll | Got into the game in the second half with five inside-50’s. | 5 |
20 | Port | Didn’t light it up as previous weeks but a good sign that his excellent wing play wasn’t needed in this game. | 5 |
21 | Ess | Pinpoint use of the ball from defence and also ran forward to score. | 8 |
22 | Syd | Got caught twice running too far, needs to be more decisive with finals around the corner. | 6 |
23 | WCE | Had some handy moments with his 21 disposals. | 5 |
QF | GWS | Good ball user on the outside and played his role effectively. | 6 |
PF | Geel | So outside was the game even he joined in for 22 disposals and five inside-50s. Huge in linking team. | 7 |
GF | Rich | Great first term but effort told and he petered out as the game dragged on. 17 disposals. | 5 |
2016 Season
1 | NM | Four inside-50s and 10 contested possessions. Steady but didn’t star. | 5 |
2 | Port | Linked up well between defence and attack but would want to find more of the ball. | 5 |
3 | Rich | Bit part player on a wing with just nine possessions. The quietest Crow. | 3 |
4 | Syd | Needed to respond after a quiet game and did so with six inside-50s and a goal. | 7 |
5 | Haw | Built on strong form of previous week to accumulate a heap of touches. One of best. | 7 |
6 | Frem | Gifted a goal after a crude Spurr tackle on Betts in the goal square. | 6 |
7 | WB | Claimed some ball but not a massively damaging player. Two inside-50s, no tackles. | 4 |
8 | Geel | Continued his rich vein of form with another impressive display. | 7 |
9 | GCS | Finished the match full of running and booted a goal. | 6 |
10 | GWS | Getting better with each game, his best yet at senior level. | 7 |
11 | StK | Slow start but a big second half with five inside-50s. | 6 |
12 | WCE | Solid job. Tackled well to lock the ball inside the attacking half. | 5 |
14 | NM | Quickly becoming a cult figure, can produce something out of nothing. | 7 |
15 | Melb | Steady with the ball from wing and did his job. Two clearances. | 6 |
16 | Carl | Four inside-50s but just nine kicks. Minor role in the victory. | 4 |
17 | Coll | Another stylish game, however needs to improve his decision making. | 7 |
18 | Geel | Horrible first half (four disposals) but did get better after main break. | 3 |
19 | Ess | Won plenty of footy but not great with his decision making. | 6 |
20 | Bris | Returned to form with a bang with eight inside-50s. | 7 |
21 | Frem | Found plenty of the footy. Had 32 touches and kicked a goal. | 7 |
22 | Port | One of only two natural left footers in the side, needs to get to the outside more. | 6 |
23 | WCE | Great goal from an intercept in the first term. | 5 |
EF | NM | Chipped in without starring. Had 12 effective disposals, four clearances. | 5 |
SF | Syd | Won some ball but butchered it. Only 12 of 22 touches effective. | 4 |
