2017 Season

1		-
2		-
3	GCS	Serviceable in defence and never gave up. Needed more support from senior leaders.	6
4	Geel	Good battle with Taylor and okay in that role. Made a few mistakes in heat of battle but all good experience.	4
5	WCE	Made some timely spoils and helped keep the Eagles at bay for much of the night.	6
6	StK	Took Riewoldt when the Saint was deep. Tried hard but was under siege for much of the day. Took 10 marks.	5
7		Senior emergency.
8		Senior emergency.
9		Ill.
10	Syd	Started on Reid, then mixed and matched when the Swan went off.	5
11	Port	Battled away in defence. Not the worst but certainly didn’t have a huge impact. All good experience at this point of his career.	4
12	GCS	Had to try and take Lynch and that was a difficult task made tougher after sustaining injury early in game.	3
13		Bye.
14	Adel	Stood tall in defence and handled the much heralded Crows forward line easily.	6
15	Coll	Took Cox and had a few troubles with his height at times. Great experience from emerging defender.	7
16	GWS	Eight one percenters. However Hawks defenders had their hands full with Patton in red hot form.	5
17	Geel	Started on Hawkins then at times had to go to Dangerfield. Strong effort defensively.	5
18	Frem	Did a job in defence. Fremantle struggled to score goals.	5
19	Syd	Strong performance in the backline with 18 disposals and 6 marks.	7
20	Rich	Didn’t have a tall match-up to take and was a little at sea playing against smaller options. Handful of effective possessions.	3
21	NM	Beaten early by Brown, but solid down back with his disposal, and continues to get better.	5
22	Carl	Broke even with Casboult in a great old fashioned big man battle. Coming along nicely as a big key defender.	6
23	WB	Full back didn’t have a genuine four-quarter match-up. Not a big impact on the flow of the contest in either phase.	3

7	Rich	Debutant made good start against Vickery and didn’t look out of place.	5

14	GCS	Deployed in defence – on Day at times – and did that job OK. Great learning curve.	4
16	Port	Conceded two goals to Schulz but overall had him covered.	6
17	Syd	Had job on Richards and kept him out of the game. Great experience.	3
18	Rich	Took another step towards cementing a place in defence for finals.	5
19	Carl	Battled on courageously after a couple of heavy knocks. Developing well.	5
20	Melb	Did well defensively on a variety of opponents. Not the worst.	5
21	NM	Found Petrie a tough opponent and lowered colours. All good experience.	3
22	WCE	Good battle with Darling but the Eagle kicked three goals.	5
23	VFL	Got some ball in back half but not at his best defensively.	-
