2017 Digest:   In full training after knee injury and likely to be back for the Swans last JLT Series game. Can he back up last year’s form?

2017 Season

1		-
2	WB	Came in to play down back and while looked rusty (gave away a few free kicks) he showed attacking flair.	4
3	Coll	After sluggish start he got going. Dare and guile from defence is a real thing of beauty. Just backs himself.	6
4	WCE	A few nervy moments early but then was clean and elusive with ball in hand. Went to Kennedy at times in second half.	4
5	NEAFL	Found some form in the back half. 20 possessions and six marks.	-
6	NEAFL	Steady without starring down back. 18 possessions and four rebounds.	-

17	NEAFL	He faded in and out of the game in the defensive half and then shifted forward. Booted two goals.	-

15	NEAFL	Brilliant from start to finish in back half. Finished with a team-high six rebound-50s.	-
16	Geel	Great effort at centre half back. Played with poise and calmness.	7
17	Haw	Went to Gunston and was superb in that role. Looks a real player.	6
18	Carl	Read the play exceptionally well in back half. Six marks (three contested), six rebounds.	6
