2017 Digest: Absence felt in first pre-season game. So important for the Pies his body stands up. PCL surgery restricted his pre-season.
2017 NAB Cup:
2017 Season
1 | WB | Took Cloke at outset to try to stop him getting his tail up early. Seven marks but no great influence. | 4 |
2 | Rich | Controlled the air at centre half back. Tiger forwards were reduced to taking improbable flies to counter he and Howe. | 7 |
3 | Syd | Great duel with his brother in defence and took the points comfortably for much of the night. 10 marks. | 8 |
4 | StK | Held the defence together with 11 marks and some accomplished kicking to position. | 7 |
5 | Ess | Coolness at centre half back again important. Thrown forward late without impact. | 6 |
6 | Rested. | ||
7 | Carl | Gave Casboult a caning in general play with exemplary positioning at centre half back. 12 marks, 20 kicks a good day out. | 8 |
8 | GWS | Started forward to take pressure off Moore. Just one goal but always looked a threat. | 5 |
9 | Quad | ||
10 | Quad. | ||
11 | Quad. | ||
12 | Quad. | ||
13 | Quad. | ||
14 | Port | Key defender struggled at tad and was moved forward in second half in an attempt to give a lift. One goal. | 5 |
15 | VFL | Too good for the VFL. Nine marks, 20 possessions and a goal. Expect a quick return. | – |
16 | Ess | Played forward and tried his backside off in first half then effort petered out as the Bombers took control; 11 disposals, one goal. | 4 |
17 | GCS | Used in attack throughout and presented well. Booted three goals and took five marks. | 6 |
18 | WCE | Looks a presence up forward. Made Barrass accountable more than once. | 6 |
19 | Adel | Two goals as a permanent forward, great battle with Daniel Talia. | 6 |
20 | NM | Seemed to be Magpies’ most potent forward early but after a blood rule, he just went. | 5 |
21 | Port | Kept the Magpies in the game with four goals and provided a contest up forward usually while double teamed. | 8 |
22 | Geel | Couldn’t get away from Lonergan and ended with one behind from four effective disposals. | 1 |
23 | Soreness. |
2016 Season
1 | Played in VFL trial against Coburg. | ||
2 | Rich | First half was superb for a player coming off an injury interrupted pre-season. Huge positive. | 6 |
3 | StK | Looked best of the defenders despite finding Riewoldt tough to run with early. Provided a positive. | 6 |
4 | Melb | Played loose at half back and did it well but a knee injury hampered him after quarter time. | 5 |
5 | Ess | Floated around in defence and was steady. Rarely out under any real pressure. | 5 |
6 | WCE | Got through without injury and was consistent. | 5 |
7 | Carl | Had Jones among others. Took 12 marks but injured shoulder in third term. Came back but sore. | 6 |
8 | Shoulder. | ||
9 | Geel | Defensively solid and had Kersten’s measure when Cats came hard late. | 6 |
10 | WB | Matched with Stringer right at the start and good all the way through. | 7 |
11 | Port | Intercepted well at times and helped keep the margin from being even greater. | 6 |
12 | Melb | Battled away until limped from field with knee injury late in second term. Came back but struggled. | 4 |
13 | Knee. | ||
14 | Frem | Very good on Taberner and won ball in his own right. Important in defence. | 8 |
15 | Carl | Impressive again. All-Australian honours looming? Read the play beautifully. | 8 |
16 | GWS | Solid without dominating in defence; combines well with Howe. | 6 |
17 | Adel | Played higher up the ground on Lynch and won his own footy across half back. | 6 |
18 | NM | On Petrie and had his share of the ball although North man was influential. | 5 |
19 | WCE | Sore ribs in second term but came back on and strong in the air with seven marks. | 6 |
20 | Rich | Injured knee early and looked severely hampered despite playing on. | 4 |

18 | VFL | Kicked a goal in the final term but wasn’t really his day. | – |
19 | Carl | Big return with four goals and some strong marks in attack. Big tick. | 7 |
20 | Syd | Looked OK in first half but subbed off in third term for management . | 4 |
21 | Rich | Horrible. Didn’t touch it up forward and Vickery kicked goals on him late. | 2 |
22 | Geel | Beat Walker and then had Vardy. Did what was asked as a key defender. | 5 |
23 | Ess | Marked the ball well and read its flight forward and back pretty well. | 6 |

2013 Season
1 | NM | Hansen matched up on him at the start. On end of bad head clash with Thomas. | 4 |
2 | Carl | Kept the defence together in the first half. Too good for his Blues opponents. | 7 |
3 | Haw | Knee injury in second but returned. Battled away but defence was under siege. | 4 |
4 | Rich | Took Riewoldt and apart from the odd occasion had him covered in key win. | 7 |
5 | Ess | Had Gumbleton in great battle. Covered him well given the scoreboard. | 6 |
6 | StK | Spent time on Riewoldt and it was a tough night. Did better than Brown though. | 6 |
7 | Frem | Tracked Mayne and took a stack of marks but kicking was unusually iffy. | 6 |
8 | Geel | Looked shaky at times when pitted one-out on Hawkins (four goals). | 4 |
9 | Syd | Matched on brother, who dragged him out of the backline, but did OK. | 6 |
10 | Bris | Shifted forward in absence of Cloke and finished with three goals. Nice outing. | 5 |
11 | Melb | Had Watts covered pretty comfortably. Then again that wouldn’t be hard. | 5 |
12 | WB | Markovic lined up on him. Subbed off late in third term. | 4 |
14 | Thigh. | ||
15 | Carl | Once Waite went off he went forward to kick four goals in a key move. | 7 |
16 | Adel | Conceded goals in first term which forced move to attack where he kicked two. | 5 |
17 | GCS | Swung forward late after being solid in defence. | 6 |
18 | GWS | Used forward again despite Cameron running riot. Two goals a reasonable return. | 6 |
19 | Ess | Two goals in the third term critical in quelling uprising. Ended with three. | 6 |
20 | Syd | Enjoyed a solid duel with Rampe, kicking two goals and managing four inside 50s. | 5 |
21 | Haw | Stayed up forward despite Hawks height in attack. Presented well, but went goalless. | 4 |
22 | WCE | Three early goals helped side off to a flyer and ended with four. | 7 |
23 | NM | Used forward and made most of it to kick five goals in a fine effort. | 7 |
EF | Port | Only two marks playing second fiddle to Cloke. Ball rarely came his way. | 2 |

GF |
2012 Season
1 | Haw | Had Franklin and despite having five kicked on him he did OK. | 5 |
2 | Rich | Matched physical strength with Riewoldt and blanketed him. | 8 |
3 | Carl | Subbed out in first quarter after quad strain. | 1 |
6 | WB | Used as a forward for three quarters and worked hard. Even effort. | 5 |
7 | Bris | Held Merrett. Did some nice things at half back. | 7 |
8 | Geel | Got on top of Hawkins then injured quad yet again and off during final term. | 6 |
13 | WCE | Defended well aerially but Pies needed his kicking better to penetrate zone. | 5 |
14 | Frem | Split duties on Clarke/Pavlich and the latter got him a few times late. | 4 |
15 | Carl | Had to play on Walker in parts with no other match-up. Just going. | 4 |
16 | Geel | Took first-gamer Walker rather than Hawkins. OK. | 6 |
17 | Haw | Roughead kicked three on him but he stuck to the task OK. | 5 |
18 | GWS | With 13 marks had a polished afternoon in defence. | 7 |
19 | StK | Did a fine job quelling Riewoldt for most of the night. | 6 |
20 | Syd | Has been in good form of late and carried that to Olympic Park. | 8 |
21 | NM | Kept plugging away. Wrong-footed by a couple of bad bounces. | 6 |
22 | WCE | Did a good job on Kennedy. Held him well. | 7 |
23 | Ess | Lined up on Hurley at start and neither featured early. | 4 |
QF | Haw | Marked well and did OK. | 7 |
SF | WCE | Probably his side’s best. Controlled Kennedy and the defence from key post. | 8 |
