1	Haw	Continued to fine form that he displayed last year with a solid job in the back half.	7
2	Bris	From a match-up point of view he held McStay while also collecting a dozen disposals.	4

4	Adel	Switched to Taylor Walker after his dominant first quarter and put the brakes on.	6
5	Coll	Unobtrusive but effective defender against the Magpie talls.	5

21	Adel	Lined up at full-back on Walker who tested him early.	4
22	GCS	Defensively sound, particularly in the second half. Spoiled when required.	6
23	Frem	Played down back and was okay, but had hands full with Docker talls at stages.	5

2016 Season

1	GCS	Learning the craft as a defender and had a tough night on Lynch.	4

16	StK	Continues to progress as a tall defender and had variety of opponents.	5
17	Rich	Big task on Riewoldt, but stuck to it admirably and wound up keeping the Tiger star goalless.	7
18	Bris	Took Schache for long periods and did well to keep him off the scoreboard in Lions’ 20-goal outing.	6
19	Adel	Prevented Lynch from having a huge influence on the game.	5
20	Geel	Hardly sighted down back although did well on Menzel when he was on.	4
21	GCS	Given huge job on Lynch and held him well in first half and stuck to task after main break.	6
22	WB	Capable job in defence without starring on T. Boyd and others.	5
23	Carl	Sound defensively. Didn’t give Jones an inch.	6

2015 Season

1	Syd	Continually tackled hard and applied pressure in the forward zone.	6

14		Two early goals but drifted from game as Willy got on top.
15	Melb	Didn’t find a lot of it but worked hard with a team-high eight tackles.	5
16	NM	One goal but no impact in attack. Still green in a lot that he does.	3
