2017 Digest: Hard to believe that the running machine is still only 24. As usual has been one of the stars on the track over summer.
2017 NAB Cup:
2017 Season
1 | NM | Steady enough early on a wing in matchup with Gibson. Put the foot down in second half to rack up big numbers. | 7 |
2 | StK | Won heaps of the ball and finished with 36 disposals. Let himself down with his disposal though. | 6 |
3 | Rich | Another great game and has almost become his standard. By far Eagles’ best with 34 touches and 17 contested possessions. | 9 |
4 | Syd | Got hands on ball again early on the outside and then hit the scoreboard with two majors. | 7 |
5 | Haw | Racked up the touches on a wing but didn’t threaten to split the Hawks defence apart as we know he can do. | 6 |
6 | Frem | Worked hard on the wing. His run hurt the Dockers and he finished with 34 disposals. | 7 |
7 | Port | Always provides outside run but lacked penetration in his kicking. | 6 |
8 | WB | Terrific game. Had 35 possessions and kicked one goal. Took 15 marks because he ran relentlessly. | 8 |
9 | Ess | Had the clamps put on his run by Colyer and unable to influence the game in normal linking style, despite 27 touches. | 5 |
10 | GWS | Standard hard running game and had 34 possessions. | 7 |
11 | GCS | Roamed up and down the wing and gathered 24 possessions. Generally OK. | 7 |
12 | Bye. | ||
13 | Geel | Ran himself into the ground to win an equal team-high 32 touches. Hit double figure contested possessions which is positive. | 8 |
14 | Melb | Laid six tackles to add to his 27 touches and one goal. | 7 |
15 | WB | Stood out in a congested game as the ball kept finding its way to him. 42 touches, the majority effective. | 9 |
16 | Port | The team’s leading ball winner and one of a few players to find the footy in the final term. | 7 |
17 | Frem | A hard working game after collecting 35 disposals. Was more damaging with them this week too. | 7 |
18 | Coll | Tagged by Greenwood and had just 16 disposals. Struggled when accounted for. | 3 |
19 | Bris | Had Robertson following him but still collected 30 possessions. | 7 |
20 | StK | Always on the move and pumping away. Gave everything he had. | 8 |
21 | Carl | Had Kerridge following him. Finished with 24 possessions. Not a huge game but handy. | 6 |
22 | GWS | Really poor. Had it just 18 times, turned it over constantly and Scully/Whitfield ran rings around him. | 3 |
23 | Adel | Quality game with 32 touches and one goal. Really important midfield game. | 7 |
EF | Port | Defensive running a highlight all night and always available for release possessions. One of Eagles best. | 8 |
SF | GWS | Intriguing duel on a wing with Whitfield. Tried hard, but wasn’t super incisive forward of centre. | 6 |
2016 Season
1 | Bris | Used his hard running to good effect. One of the prime ball winners. | 6 |
2 | Haw | Good numbers on a wing but wasn’t as incisive going forward as he can be. | 5 |
3 | Frem | One of the best. His 32 possessions were gathered all over the field. | 8 |
4 | Rich | Had the ball on a string and set up numerous shots for goal. | 8 |
5 | Syd | Unceasing worker who gave everything in a big midfield display. | 8 |
6 | Coll | A quieter game with only 21 disposals. | 5 |
7 | Geel | Racked up stats but effectiveness didn’t match. Four inside-50s and one clearance. | 6 |
8 | StK | Never missed a beat and didn’t stand still for a moment. Methodically dissected Saints. | 8 |
9 | Port | Stretchered off in the third term after a late hit from Jonas. | 5 |
10 | Concussion. | ||
11 | WB | Ran hard off a wing but one defensive effort horrible. Four inside-50s but impact not huge. | 6 |
12 | Adel | A courageous game where he backed into packs. Also won the footy. | 7 |
13 | Bris | Enjoyed the freedom of not being shadowed. Superb. | 8 |
15 | Ess | Covered heaps of ground to collect 35 touches and kick two goals. | 8 |
16 | NM | Won a lot of the ball but wasn’t as damaging this week. | 6 |
17 | Carl | Ran hard to grab usual tally of uncontested possessions. Five clearances. | 7 |
18 | Melb | One of the few to contribute for the entire game. Had 26 disposals. | 7 |
19 | Coll | One of the Eagles’ few clear winners in midfield. Ran hard and used the ball well mostly. | 7 |
20 | Frem | Tagged by Sheridan and had little impact. | 4 |
21 | GWS | Ran hard on the outside to provide a link through midfield. | 7 |
22 | Haw | Busy throughout off a wing as he collected 38 possessions. | 7 |
23 | Adel | Best on ground with seven clearances, three inside-50s and 22 handball receives. | 9 |
EF | WB | Numbers deceive. Three inside-50s, no tackles despite 35 touches, usually under pressure. | 6 |
2015 Season
1 | WB | Better second half than first. Ended with four inside-50s and one goal. | 6 |
2 | Carl | Curnow found it tough to stop his run given weight of ball going against. | 6 |
3 | Frem | Eagles’ leading ball winner and at least continued to run against the tide. | 6 |
4 | Bris | Busy capitalising on Brisbane’s errors as the driving force behind the win. | 8 |
5 | GWS | Collected 32 touches and his running from end to end was a highlight. | 6 |
6 | Port | Silky smooth wingman was often at the end of a chain of handballs. | 7 |
7 | GCS | Typical game of hard running. Had 23 disposals and kicked a goal. | 6 |
8 | StK | A constant driving force from midfield. | 7 |
9 | Geel | Huge work-rate as he helped himself to a mountain of ball. | 8 |
10 | NM | Ran hard all match to win plenty of ball between the arcs. Solid effort. | 8 |
11 | Ess | Fantastic game: 33 possessions and a goal. | 8 |
12 | Rich | Started on Ellis and played wide. Prolific first half. | 8 |
14 | Melb | Continues to find the ball on the wing. Another strong outing. | 7 |
15 | Adel | Best on ground with 36 possessions, three goals and 10 inside 50s. | 9 |
16 | Coll | Another superb outside game. | 7 |
17 | Syd | Huge game. Five inside-50s, one goal and some fine running off a wing. | 8 |
18 | GCS | Gave forwards plenty of chances with seven inside 50s. | 6 |
19 | Haw | Continued his fine season with 35 disposals. | 7 |
20 | Frem | Kept winning the ball. Had 23 disposals. | 6 |
21 | WB | Not as good with his kicking as previously. | 7 |
22 | Adel | Won his fair share of the footy but didn’t hurt the opposition. | 7 |
23 | StK | Heaps of the ball and two goals. Completed a brilliant home and away season. | 8 |
QF | Haw | Tackling and harassing first class and eventually possessions followed. | 7 |
PF | NM | Three effective disposals in first half and 13 for match. Gibson did a good job. | 5 |
GF | Haw | Enormous second term (11 disp) and clearly the side’s best. Five inside-50s. | 8 |
2014 Season
1 | WB | Enjoyed space to hurt Dogs off a wing. Good all-round game between arcs. | 7 |
2 | Melb | Tireless runner on the outside of the packs. A link between attack and defence. | 7 |
3 | StK | Montagna had the better of him early but he fought back. | 6 |
4 | Geel | Team-high disposal numbers but no inside-50 and only two tackles. | 5 |
5 | Port | Tagged by Cornes and ran hard but didn’t have normal incision into attack. | 5 |
6 | Carl | Had 20 possessions. Worked hard without standing out. | 6 |
7 | Frem | Racked up 13 uncontested possessions but was not a threat in going forward. | 6 |
8 | GWS | Had 15 touches until being subbed off in the third term. | 5 |
10 | Coll | Plenty of disposals but knocked off the ball at a few critical moments. | 6 |
11 | NM | Stats belied his lack of overall importance in the game. | 5 |
12 | Haw | Booted three goals from 25 possessions. Worked hard forward of centre. | 7 |
13 | GCS | Reasonable contributor running to space. | 5 |
14 | StK | Worked hard all day. | 6 |
15 | Frem | Wasn’t as prominent as he can be on the outside on the wing. | 5 |
16 | Syd | Won plenty of ball on a wing but wasn’t that incisive with his usage going forward. | 6 |
17 | Bris | Slightly got the better of Golby. | 7 |
18 | Rich | Not sure I’ve seen a more limp 26-disposal game. One tackle, two inside-50s. | 4 |
19 | Adel | Best afield with eight inside-50s, three clearances and three goals. | 8 |
20 | Coll | Quietly accumulated a mountain of footy and gave drive off a wing. | 8 |
21 | Ess | Hocking had the job on him and held him early. Finished well. | 5 |
22 | Melb | New contract did the trick with his best game of the year. Provided outstanding run. | 8 |
23 | GCS | Hardly sighted first half (five disposals) then lifted to grab 17 in the romp. | 6 |

2013 Season
1 | Frem | Ran hard, but lowered his colors to Pearce, whose second half was superb. | 5 |
2 | Haw | Shiels kept him under tight rein early and he was never a big factor. | 4 |
3 | Melb | Worked his way into the game after a quite first half. Five inside 50s. | 6 |
4 | Carl | Two kicks in first half and ended with eight as Curnow shut him out. | 4 |
5 | Port | A game high nine inside-50s but three gettable shots on goal for three misses. | 8 |
6 | WB | Fairly good output without starring. | 5 |
7 | Bris | Played more as a half-forward. Found the footy but didn’t have a real impact. | 5 |
8 | NM | Played wing beautifully and gave MacMillan all sorts of problems. Strong all night. | 7 |
9 | GWS | A little wasteful with ball in hand, still dangerous going forward. | 6 |
10 | Rich | Did a bit running down wing. OK without being great. | 4 |
11 | StK | Tagged by Dunell and was well contained. | 3 |
13 | Haw | Didn’t get hard tag this week and loved it – found heaps of ball and used it well. | 8 |
14 | Ess | Tagged by Kommer and while stats looked good his game wasn’t decisive. | 5 |
15 | Adel | Had to contend with the shadow of van Berlo all game and was serviceable. | 4 |
16 | Frem | Not a big day and made worse when Crowley went to him late in game. | 4 |
17 | Syd | Ran hard and broke the lines at every opportunity to take the game on. | 8 |
18 | WB | 20 touches to half time and ended with 31 and nine inside-50s as he found space. | 8 |
19 | GCS | Pinpoint usage made a difference. | 6 |
20 | Ess | OK on the fringes, but shanked the ball into the crowd four times. Uncharacteristic. | 5 |
21 | Geel | Only five possessions in first half. Lifted later but lot of his touches not damaging. | 5 |
22 | Coll | Tagged by Macaffer and physically challenged all night. Failed to handle it. | 3 |
23 | Adel | Didn’t get away from Van Berlo very often. | 4 |

1 | WB | Gave great drive off wing and looks to have really come on from last year. | 7 |
2 | Melb | Influential with his run. Had 33 touches and six inside 50s. | 7 |
3 | GWS | Shared the points in duel with Scully. Perhaps more creative. | 7 |
