2017 Digest:   Looked quite sharp in JLT series and appears to have taken a decent step forward.

2017 NAB Cup:  

2017 Season

1	Haw	Quieter night overall with just 11 touches, but still did a few handy things.	4
2	Bris	Played well in patches. Kicked a goal in last quarter when needed.	5
3	Carl	Fumbled his way through the day in what was a horror. Two kicks for the day.	1
4	Adel	Two opportunist goals but hardly sighted, needs to do more to make his presence felt.	5
5	VFL	Laid 11 tackles to ensure Collingwood never got any room to move. Add in 22 possessions and four clearances too.	-
6	VFL	Tackled his heart out – 14 tackles to go with 20 possessions. Impressive workrate this season.	-
7		Rested.
8	VFL	Impressed with 21 touches, two goals and a handful of tackles. Playing good footy.	-
9	VFL	Continues to grow in midfield role the longer he spends in there. Had 34 possessions and booted two goals.	-
10	VFL	Did well in patches, but lacked consistent impact overall.	-
11	VFL	A beast at the stoppages with 11 clearances to go with his 32 possessions. Relishing midfield time.	-
12	VFL	One of the Bombers best again. 28 touches, nine clearances and five inside 50s. Super.	-
13		Bye.
14	Syd	Played forward after starring as a midfielder in VFL. Didn’t use the ball as well as he’d hope.	4
15	Bris	Matched with Rich early as he spent more time in midfield. His game tailed off later.	5
16		Senior emergency.
17	VFL	A good game in the midfield. Had 26 touches and four goals. One "everything clicks" preseason away.	-
18	VFL	Found a fair amount of the footy in the middle, but his disposals just didn't translate to anything.	-
19	VFL	Another good day in midfield. Becoming a better contested player with 10 contested possessions and five tackles.	-
20	VFL	Bye.	-
21	VFL	Not as influential as he has been, but defensively work was good around the ball.	-
22	VFL	Excellent outing with 30 possessions, eight marks. Bombers best.	-
23	VFL	Won the ball fairly well, but ball use was below par.	-

2016 Season

1	GCS	Showed some really good signs and booted a clever goal.	6
2	Melb	Last-quarter goal proved vital and at times showed why he was a first-round draft pick.	5
3	Port	Someone for Bomber fans to get enthused about, was good from few disposals.	6
4	Geel	Didn’t get into the game to any great degree but all good experience for the future.	2
5	Coll	Work-rate was good over the four quarters, finishing with six tackles and a goal.	5
6	Carl	Got under the guard to grab 20 disposals, five inside-50s and four tackles. Handy.	6
7		Senior emergency.
8	NM	Great effort. Steady through the middle then went forward to kick two last-term goals.	6
9	StK	Kicked one goal and missed sitter. Continues to be in developmental stage.	3
10	Rich	Not his night but all part of learning curve. Made a few blues but did have six inside-50s.	3
11	Frem	Wasn’t his night. A contested mark was his highlight.	4
12	Haw	Not much of a say up forward but it’s all about getting games into him.	3
13	VFL	Returned to VFL level and looked a cut above at times. Strong effort.	-
14	VFL	Bye.	-
15	VFL	Looked a cut above in all phases – 10 tackles to boot. Might get call up.	-
16	StK	Operated mainly as a winger and had a solid, productive game.	5
17	Rich	Off the pace and most early touches were either the wrong decision or a skill error. Still learning.	4
18	Bris	Kicked a goal after half time siren and gave some lip, but still has a way to go at top level.	4
19	Adel	Outpointed Talia for a late goal.	5
20	VFL	Played some attacking footy and tried hard with 20 disposals and three inside-50s.	-
21		Senior emergency.
22	WB	In defence did a few handy things, but didn’t stand out.	3
23	Carl	Three opportunist goals in arguably his most promising game for the club.	7
