2017 Digest:   Despite good leg speed, often looks to be off the pace in game situations. Needs consistent run after injury-hit 2016.

2017 Season

Played for : Carlton

1		–

4	PM	Did well on the outside playing mostly on a wing. Can clean up his disposal though.	–
5	VFL	Linked well on a wing to grab 25 touches, four inside-50s. Also laid eight tackles, which is a good sign.	–
6	VFL	Monster game with a team-high 32 disposals. Needs to string together consistent efforts to break into senior team.	–
7	VFL	Good ball winner on the outside, but didn’t always hurt the opposition as much as he could.	–

19	VFL	Didn't work as hard as he had in previous weeks. Needs to get back to his gut running.	–
