2017 NAB Cup:  

2017 Season

Played for : North Melbourne

1		–
2	Geel	Small defender charged with kick-in duties. Showed out a few times but not at the forefront of the effort.	4
3	GWS	Generated drive from half back with a 19-disposal first half which he parlayed into 28 for the game.	8
4	WB	Designated kicker gets a lot of his touches playing on from the kick-in. Battled hard but not a massive impact.	5
5	Frem	Good defensively and had 19 touches. Gave Fremantle’s forwards some problems.	6
6	GCS	Defensive work was solid if unspectacular and he did his bit with the ball in his hands.	6
7		Hand.
8		Hand.
9	Melb	Running defender mixed good and bad. Able to find enough space to be a factor from the back half.	6
10	Carl	Not his best effort. Failed to provide usual penetration by foot with just the eight kicks.	4
11	Rich	Made a few blues out of the back half but effort was in the right range. Lots of his 21 touches were of the short variety.	5
12		Bye.
13	StK	Ok job without being a standout. One big torp kickout was memorable.	5
14	WB	Mid-sized defender was handy in both phase of the game. Used the footy well with 14 of his 17 possessions.	6
15	GCS	Rebounded well and contributed well to the defensive setup.	7
16	Frem	Chimed in with two lovely goals on the run after starting on Ballantyne. Good outing.	7
17	Port	After copping a knock to his leg in the first term responded well with nine rebound-50’s for the game.	7
18	Ess	Looks stronger and useful off half back with 16. Drifted forward to kick a long goal.	5
19	Melb	Had plenty to do across half back when kicking into the wind. Crunched by Hogan in third term and was sore.	6
20	Coll	Got caught out as a defender on more than one occasion. Meh performance.	5
21	Haw	Was prepared to run hard and rebound. Nine first term disposals and finished with 20.	6
22		Calf.
23	Bris	Made the mistake of the day when he handed goal to Zorko. Steady apart from that.	5

20	WB	OK at times and not the worst.	4
21	Haw	Battled Rioli and despite doing OK still had three goals kicked on him.	4

23	GWS	Matched up on Smith at half back and got a bit of ball but the GWS man was handy too.	6
