2017 Digest:   Superb first year with Pies off a non-existent pre-season. Flown through summer this time, so look out!

2017 NAB Cup:  

2017 Season

1	WB	Such a weapon zooming through the centre square and eyeing off the goals. Three quarters off the top shelf.	7
2	Rich	Proving well worth the two first-round picks the Pies sacrificed (and he’s all paid up now); 35 disposals and two fine goals.	8
3	Syd	Superb third-quarter goal and got his hands dirty with a remarkable 14 tackles. Exemplified the Pies’ blue-collar approach.	7
4	StK	Broke clear at times and wound up with the footy 29 times, but couldn't quite hit the mark going forward.	6
5	Ess	Six tackles in first term set a standard, and 11 for the game added to 39 touches. Could not have done more.	8
6	Geel	Five inside-50s, 26 disposals, five tackles and gut running kept the engine room ticking over. Solid effort.	7
7	Carl	Couldn't finish off his work with effective disposals. Often blazed away kicking the maximum distance and turned it over.	5
8		Groin.
9	Haw	Another slow start (three-disposal first quarter) but got up and zooming as the game wore on.	7
10	Bris	Despite fact he had 30 others were more damaging but still grabbed seven clearances and seven inside-50s.	8
11	Frem	Fantastic with 25 possessions, one goal and five score assists. A bull.	8
12	Melb	Busy as a three-in-a-bed. Roosted home a lovely long goal in third term and never stopped trying to lift his team; seven inside-50s.	8
13		Bye.
14	Port	Frontline midfielder was busy with 35 possessions. Effort was strong but not hugely damaging forward of centre.	7
15	Haw	Workrate strong as usual and won his share of the pill. If only he had a tad more polish and penetration in his kicking.	6
16	Ess	Kicking was horrible. Can’t be considered elite given his lack of penetration and precision; 21 possessions.	5
17	GCS	Ran hard for all four quarters, and was useful around the stoppages. 17 contested possessions amongst his 32.	7
18	WCE	Got 34 disposals but needs to use his speed more often. Had some key touches late when Pies surged.	7
19	Adel	Laid a game high 12 tackles and kicked the goal to put Collingwood 50 points clear early in the third term.	7
20	NM	Solid outing with 34 disposals, but need to see him use that explosive pace more often.	7
21	Port	Unlucky not to hit the scoreboard twice, won ten clearances and had six inside-50’s for a big game in the midfield.	7
22	Geel	Guthrie went to him at times and struggled. Only 12 effective disposals but did have seven clearances and five inside-50s.	5
23	Melb	Got forward of the scrums to be a threat at stages, and was a good pressure player with eight tackles.	6

2016 Season

1	Syd	Battled hard early but found more space as game progressed. Pies will be delighted with his debut.	8
2	Rich	Racked up stats and while not always finding targets his eight inside-50s were a more than handy contribution.	7
3	StK	Eight tackles and 17 contested possessions suggest string workrate but impact not as profound as numbers suggest.	6
4	Melb	Battled hard for six clearances and four inside-50s. Didn’t have the guys around him to get on top.	7
5	Ess	Ran hard and was super in the second half. Four inside-50s and seven clearances.	8
6	WCE	Battled hard winning clearances and laying tackles.	7
7	Carl	Tracked everywhere he went by Curnow. Won the ball OK but defensive game needs a lift.	6
8	Bris	Did as he pleased in the midfield with devastating effect and finished off with three goals.	9
9	Geel	Huge game. Touches came at crucial times and laid team-high eight tackles.	9
10	WB	Steady in first half without dominating. Kept battling on despite rotation limits..	7
11	Port	Won his fair share of ball again but didn’t have the same impact going forward as he has been doing.	7
12	Melb	Quiet first half but lifted after half time to gather 20 disposals. Seven clearances.	7
14	Frem	Just kept on winning touches in the middle and was best afield.	8
15	Carl	Lifted after being quelled by Curnow. Worked hard with five tackles and four clearances.	6
16	GWS	Not dominant but performed strongly against old team in a winning midfield.	7
17	Adel	Rivalling Dangerfield as the recruit of the season. Impressive again.	8
18	NM	Often run down early and contained first half but finished strongly.	6
19	WCE	Excellent at the stoppages and won a lot of hard, contested ball. Good contributor.	7
20	Rich	Never stopped running but ball didn’t bounce his way at times. Nine tackles.	7
21	WB	Fairly quiet early but came into it from second term and generated a lot of drive.	7
22	GCS	Power runner in midfield but let himself down in front of goal (1.4). Huge night nonetheless.	8
23	Haw	Huge effort after zero-touch first term. Outstanding final term: 10 clearances, two goals.	9

2015 Season

4	GCS	Strong nights work with 27 touches and two goals. Got the ball rolling early.	8

19	Ess	Grew into the game as it progressed and was a driving force after main break.	7
20		Groin.
21	Syd	One of the few Giants to stand up to Sydney pressure. Good effort.	7

23	Melb	Handy outing with 26 touches in what was probably his last game as a Giant.	7

2014 Season

Played for : GWS Giants

5	Adel	Giants’ best with six clearances, four tackles and a goal.	8

12	Ess	Terrific ball-winner and put icing on cake with three goals.	7
13	Bris	Burnt off tagger Beams and created plenty of moves.	7
14	Carl	A little wasteful with the ball, he still got plenty of it while laying five tackles.	6

17		Groin.

22	Coll	Great early duel with Swan until the Pie was injured. Kept on trucking.	7
23	WB	28 touches and two goals in midfield to play leading role. Cramped late.	7
