Billy HARTUNG

2017 Digest:   Solid against Geelong (20 disposals) then quieter against Roos (14). Trained well over summer and looking to cement a spot.

2017 NAB Cup:  

2017 Season

Played for : Hawthorn

1	Ess	Linked well off a wing and provided good run when required. 21 possessions and a goal a handy contribution.	6
2		–
3		Senior emergency.
4	Geel	Wet rag sort of performance. Just doesn’t hurt opposition when he gets the pill. One clearance and two inside-50s.	3
5	WCE	Too cute at times with disposal and decisions, but won his fair share of ball to play a role.	6
6	StK	12 touches, but little impact overall. Needs to start hurting opponents with his speed. Just doesn’t do it right now.	5
7	Melb	Provided run off a wing and was pivotal in helping side get out to a lead in first half with 13 disposals.	7
8	Bris	Positive performance with 26 disposals. Supplied much needed pace and class on the outside.	6
9	Coll	Ran hard and got involved but continues to be found wanting in his game.	4
10		Bye.
11	VFL	Six inside 50s and 21 touches on the day. Okay but didn’t set the world on fire.	–
12	GCS	Won the ball but his skill level and decision-making was atrocious. Not sure he’s part of the future at the club.	2
13		Bye.
14	Adel	Won 17 uncontested possessions and hurt the Crows with his leg speed and outside run.	6
15	Coll	Theme continued. Wins ball but second guesses himself at times and skills let him down.	5
16	GWS	25 possessions and five inside 50’s. Didn’t catch the eye and ¾ of his touches were uncontested.	4
17	Geel	Run and carry was a concern to the Cats all afternoon; 22 disposals, three inside-50s and 355 metres gained.	7
18	Frem	Gave the team some run and collected 20 possessions.	6
19	Syd	15 disposals off the bench, played his part.	6
20	Rich	Running link player got a lot of his 17 possessions backward of centre. Loves to cock it up at times.	4
21	NM	Productive afternoon with 26 disposals and a goal. One of his better games for the year.	6
22	Carl	Provided a game highlight with a 6 bounce dash in the second term. Played one of his best games for the club.	8
23	WB	Wingman found enough of the TW Sherrin and importantly didn’t butcher it like he can; 23 possessions.	6

2016 Season

13	NM	Kept running hard and providing a link between defence and attack.	6
14	GCS	Two second-term goals were key when flow was against. Played a role off a wing.	6
16	Port	Always available on the outside after a chain of handballs.	5
