Position: |
2017 Digest: Stagnated last year in back half but looks to have a new role as a midfielder/forward and could flourish. One to play close attention to.
2017 NAB Cup:
2017 Season
1 | Carl | Played more forward of centre for one goal from 11 possessions, but laid 12 tackles. | 5 |
2 | Coll | Lined up on Mayne and had the edge. Went hard at every contest from half back. | 5 |
3 | WCE | Quiet one when compared to his usual standards. Went off in halfway through the third after nasty head knock. | 4 |
4 | Bris | Switched with Prestia in an on-ball role but did not have the same impact as his teammate.. | 4 |
5 | Concussion. | ||
6 | Adel | Played predominately as a small forward looked lively in the first term but soon faded out of the game. | 3 |
7 | WB | Used ball well in first quarter early, then injured shoulder in second term and didn’t come back | 3 |
8 | Shoulder. | ||
9 | Shoulder. | ||
10 | Shoulder. | ||
11 | Shoulder. | ||
12 | Shoulder. | ||
13 | Shoulder. | ||
14 | VFL | Back from shoulder issue and was handy on return. 17 possessions, but still looked rusty/sore. | - |
15 | Shoulder. | ||
16 | VFL | Looks ready for a senior return. Had 17 touches, but competed very hard. | - |
17 | Bris | Back into the team and played his part in defence. Cracking ginger beard! | 6 |
18 | GWS | Played loose role in defence at times and was brilliant at that; 11 marks, 21 disposals and among Tigers’ best. | 8 |
19 | GCS | Useful in defence without being a dominant player. Did as required. | 6 |
20 | Haw | Quiet in terms of possessions. At one stage a large insect flew out of his horrendous beard. | 4 |
21 | Geel | The Tigers best. Battled his backside in the back half and was his team’s only four quarter performer. Terrific game. | 8 |
22 | Frem | Hurt the Dockers with his work from defence. Had 22 disposals. | 8 |
23 | StK | Bearded unit did the business down back and will hit the finals in good form as a solid defender. | 7 |
QF | Geel | Played loose role in defence brilliantly and was a key to the win. Really developing as a player. | 8 |
PF | GWS | Spent time on the dangerous Greene and continued his fine finals form. Rarely made a mistake. | 7 |
GF | Adel | Nervous start but warmed to task to be a key contributor off half-back, particularly in first half when the game was in the balance. | 7 |
2016 Season
1 | Carl | Came into the game as is wore on. Kicked a rare goal, which proved to be very handy. | 5 |
2 | Coll | Had hands full with Pies small forwards. Pinged for crucial deliberate handball out of bounds. | 5 |
3 | Adel | Finding it hard to get his hands on the ball at present. Had hands full with Betts when shifted. | 3 |
4 | WCE | Gave up height in defence. Had a tough night. | 4 |
5 | Leg. | ||
6 | Leg. | ||
7 | Haw | Relished midfield role and tracked Lewis. Good early, faded at the end. | 6 |
8 | Syd | Used in midfield again and was handy with his willingness to do all the hard things. | 6 |
9 | Frem | Played tall and did a good job. Took 11 marks. | 6 |
10 | Ess | Attacked ball well in the air and on the ground. Finding his feet as a key player. | 7 |
11 | NM | Head knock in second term meant he was benched for second half. | 2 |
12 | Concussed. | ||
13 | Concussion. | ||
14 | Bris | Huge third term at half back and pressed forward for two goals. Hobbled with knee issue in final term. | 7 |
15 | Port | Took care of Gray when he rested up forward. | 6 |
16 | WB | Did some tough stuff in the back half and strong around the ball. | 6 |
17 | Ess | Fantasia gave him fits in early stages then was shifted. Steady without standing out. | 5 |
18 | Haw | Had a quiet one. Seven effective disposals playing down back. | 3 |
19 | GWS | Came under constant fire in defence and couldn’t contain the dangerous Johnson. | 3 |
20 | Coll | Had Varcoe at times and OK in shutting him down. Still only teasing but handy. | 6 |
21 | Geel | Had Motlop covered for most of the afternoon. Offensively steady. | 6 |
22 | StK | Went to Weller in a great battle. OK in that role and kept plugging away. | 6 |
23 | Syd | Couldn’t contain Rohan in first half. Found a bit of ball in midfield after main break. | 4 |
2015 Season
1 | Carl | Great work-rate – one of the best. | 7 |
2 | WB | Tracked Stringer in defence and battled through after rolling ankle early. | 5 |
3 | Bris | Undisciplined when he gave two 50m penalties in a row. | 5 |
4 | Melb | Brave with his attack on the ball – both in air and on the deck. Not the worst. | 6 |
5 | Geel | Busy at half back with 14 effective disposals. Handy performance. | 6 |
6 | NM | Battled hard but made mistakes in the back half. Is defence his go? | 4 |
7 | Coll | Battled away on Elliott for the main part and did OK. Not much offensively. | 5 |
8 | Port | Rebounded the footy five times out of defensive 50. | 5 |
9 | Ess | Smashed Cooney early and a solid contributor all evening. | 6 |
10 | Frem | Honest footballer who did his bit down back. | 7 |
12 | WCE | Honest game as usual and ran hard to give an option. | 5 |
13 | Syd | Had trouble with Rohan early but was influential when Tigers made run. | 7 |
14 | GWS | Rebounded well and thwarted Giants’ forays at times. | 6 |
15 | Carl | Patrolled backline with aplomb and worked hard to repel Blues. | 7 |
16 | StK | Totally blanketed Lonie and created play himself. | 7 |
17 | Frem | Up and down game. Had Mayne and was hot and cold with attack on ball. | 4 |
18 | Haw | Didn’t have a major impact. | 3 |
19 | Adel | The plus-one in defence and serviceable without being damaging. | 5 |
20 | GCS | Superb mopping up and in one-on-ones down back. Polished. | 7 |
21 | Coll | Steady again out of defence. Plays with a mix of poise and courage. | 7 |
22 | Ess | Again timely in the back half. Great knack of being in the right place. | 7 |
23 | NM | Couldn’t get into game in first half, but improved markedly. | 5 |
EF | NM | Freed up behind ball but was caught in no-man’s land too often. | 4 |
2014 Season
1 | GCS | Booted the first goal and battled hard throughout. | 6 |
2 | Carl | Matched at half back on Robinson. Handy game. | 6 |
3 | WB | Subbed off with concussion in second term. | 2 |
4 | Coll | Had Blair and did a decent job but his game lacked attacking flair. | 5 |
5 | Bris | Good first half in defence, but tapered. | 4 |
6 | Haw | Went with Puopolo. Not a big game by either player. | 4 |
7 | Geel | Workrate and attack on footy was first class. Lot to like about the way he plays. | 6 |
9 | Melb | In the midfield, went hard but needed to win more of the footy. | 5 |
10 | Finger. | ||
11 | Finger. | ||
12 | NM | Did some good things and worked hard inside the contest. | 6 |
13 | Frem | Quiet day playing wing/midfield. Only three inside-50s and zero clearances. | 4 |
14 | Syd | Started in middle and ran hard to create. Solid. | 5 |
15 | StK | Satisfactory performance and contributed. | 5 |
16 | Leg. | ||
17 | Port | Started well but drifted from the game throughout the final three terms. | 4 |
18 | WCE | Spent time on Shuey and played loose man at times late in game. Steady effort. | 6 |
19 | GWS | Provided defensive support in the air and was OK in one on ones. | 5 |
20 | Ess | Sub. Provided necessary spark when on in third term forward of centre. | 3 |
21 | Adel | Laid a game high 10 tackles and had four inside-50s. | 6 |
22 | StK | OK without doing anything outstanding. | 4 |
23 | Syd | Sent to Hannebery, he finished a clear second best on this occasion. | 5 |
EF | Port | Six effective disposals simply not enough. Couldn’t get into the contest. | 2 |

2013 Season
1 | PM | 22 possessions playing in midfield. Excellent. | - |
2 | VFL | Consistent four quarter effort. Not far off a debut. | - |
3 | Senior emergency. | ||
4 | VFL | Strong over the ball but wasn’t as effective as previous weeks. | - |
5 | Frem | Debutant did some good things. The way he cracked in was most pleasing. | 5 |
6 | Geel | Good effort from the kid in a losing side – nine cont poss and five tackles a highlight. | 6 |
7 | Port | Kicked his first AFL goal in only his third match. A find. | 6 |
8 | Melb | Huge game. Ball use was first class and ran himself into good spots all day. | 7 |
9 | Ess | Didn’t look out of place on the big stage again. Hard at the contest. | 6 |
10 | WCE | Two timely goals in second term were critical, as was a snap in the third. | 7 |
12 | Adel | Got under guard for a handy game playing behind the frontliners. | 6 |
13 | WB | Quiet night for youngster. Kicked a goal but that was about it. | 3 |
14 | Shin. | ||
15 | NM | Came off bench and struggled to get into game. Defensive running poor at times. | 2 |
16 | GCS | Found more of ball after a slow couple of weeks. OK without starring. | 5 |
17 | Frem | Impressive with his attack on ball and man. Laid some solid tackles too. | 6 |
18 | Syd | OK in defence on Bolton. | 5 |
19 | Haw | Not huge but what he did had some polish. Doesn’t make mistakes. | 4 |
20 | Bris | Showed glimpses of talent but very quiet while the match was still alive. | 3 |
21 | Carl | Showed some dash through the corridor and was hard at the contest. | 6 |
22 | GWS | Provided support down back and mopped up anything loose on the deck. Solid. | 6 |
23 | Ess | Had trouble with Melksham but stuck to his task admirably. | 5 |
EF | Carl | Showed maturity beyond his years to star early but tired as the game wore on. | 6 |
