2017 Digest:   Positive signs in loss to Tigers which suggests a strong pre-season. Needs to make every post a winner in fourth year.

2017 NAB Cup:  

2017 Season

1	GWS	Did what he had to do and negated Rory Lobb.	5
2	Haw	Went into defence to play lock down role in Rioli at times and did that job supremely well to be a key in the victory.	6
3	Port	Sticks to his opponent closely but was heart is in your mouth with his disposal.	6
4	Ess	Copped an unfortunate poke in the eye and was taken to hospital for precautionary reasons.	3
5		Eye.
6	Rich	Copped two heavy bumps in the first term from Cotchin and Rioli respectively but bounced back admirably.	5
7	NM	Fumbly and unsure down back. For the first time this year he was exposed. Will learn a lot from the outing.	3
8	Melb	Did well to contain Jeff Garlett in the first half but struggled to keep up with him in the second.	5
9	Bris	Dour effort and a good contributor across four quarters.	6
10	Frem	Never shirks a contest and puts his body on the line in every attack on the footy, laid eight bruising tackles.	6
11	Geel	Had task on Menzel (three goals) but was actually one of the better Crows on the night.	6
12	StK	Continues to ply his trade across halfback in an unassuming fashion.	6
13		Bye.
14	Haw	Easily knocked off the ball, and always seems to come off second best in a one on one contest.	5
15	Carl	Reaction time is not quick enough as a defender, needs to be quicker in mind, no questioning his commitment.	4
16	WB	Jake Stringer took a hold of him early but redeemed himself with some strong one on one contested marking.	6
17	Melb	Just fair in the back half. Not a big night.	4
18	Geel	Was given task on Dangerfield when he played deep forward. Did that well but was helped by team’s dominance.	5
19	Coll	Great job on Jamie Elliott restricting him to one goal.	6
20	Port	Played his role in a defensive back six which only conceded 31 inside-50’s.	6
21	Ess	Low key game but played his part.	5
22	Syd	Outpointed by Gary Rohan on two occasions which were costly resulting in goals in such a close match.	5
23	WCE	Couldn’t control the Eagles key forwards.	4
QF	GWS	Spent time on the dangerous Greene and did his job well.	6
PF	Geel	Young defender did all the right things throughout and was a handy contributor.	6
GF	Rich	Plugged away down back and did some good things against the flow. Can hold his head high.	6
