Games: 136 | Born: Aug 03, 2020 |
Height: 181 |
Weight: 81 |
Position: |
2017 Digest: It’s a big year for the ex-Cannon. He’s become too much of an outside player, but at the same time, doesn’t gain metres. Pressure is on.
2017 NAB Cup:
2017 Season
1 | Carl | Used off half-back where he played a support role. No glaring skill errors which was a key. | 5 |
2 | Coll | Freak snapshot in third term to trigger a momentum swing. Otherwise quiet off a wing. | 5 |
3 | WCE | Good game by Ellis, with his short hit-up kicking being the highlight of his game. 85% overall efficiency today. | 7 |
4 | Bris | Started in defence and worked the field to collect 21 disposals. | 6 |
5 | Melb | Plenty of the ball in first half without having any impact, then just a few sighting after main break. | 4 |
6 | Adel | Mismatch in the third term when standing Tom Lynch, gave away height and two goals. | 4 |
7 | WB | Strong game and kicked long around the field. | 6 |
8 | Frem | Really quiet day (15 touches). Like may came to life in final term and looked to have kicked winning goal with 25 seconds left. | 4 |
9 | GWS | One of a few who spent time on Greene. Ball use wasn’t as precise as it normally is. | 6 |
10 | Ess | Accumulator who defended pretty well both in the air and on the ground. Used footy well and got dangerous when he could. | 8 |
11 | NM | Strong again from the back half with 30 disposals, four inside-50s and a goal. Only Tiger not to lay a tackle. | 7 |
12 | Bye. | ||
13 | Syd | Used at half back and then on a wing. Got a bit of the ball, but was hesitant at times in aerial duels. | 6 |
14 | Carl | Used ball well from defence, then pressing up to a wing. Kicked a goal too to play his part. | 6 |
15 | Port | Career best year so far, gets under the guard of the opposition coaches with his smart play. | 7 |
16 | StK | Close to the best of a bad bunch in first half then tapered. | 5 |
17 | Bris | Did most of his work on the outside and was a handy contributor. Topped off day with a long goal. | 7 |
18 | GWS | Won plenty of the pill from a wing (23 possessions) and was running hard all day to give the side an option. | 6 |
19 | GCS | Solid four quarter effort, with 27 possessions at 82% efficiency. | 6 |
20 | Haw | Did some tough stuff (not normally his go) and was steady with 19 touches. | 6 |
21 | Geel | Was a big reason the Tigers got going in the third term. Controlled half back and was one of their best. | 7 |
22 | Frem | Influential with his 33 disposals. Damaging in the midfield. | 7 |
23 | StK | Got a heap of the pill off half back and will hot the ground running for finals; 30 possessions and great running. | 8 |
QF | Geel | Half-back did his job well. Possessions nit huge but was able to cover any Cat forward he cam across. | 5 |
PF | GWS | Not his best night with just 12 touches and high hit on Whitfield will come under scrutiny. | 4 |
GF | Adel | Quiet day in terms of possessions but did what was required when it was required. 14 disposals. | 6 |
2016 Season
1 | Carl | Quiet in opening exchanges but worked into game well to end up a handy contributor. | 6 |
2 | Coll | Returned to more customary wing role and linked well between defence and attack. Solid. | 7 |
3 | Adel | Skirted the packs on the outside. Just six of his 39 touches were contested. | 6 |
4 | WCE | Most of his possessions came in the final term. | 4 |
5 | Melb | Won plenty of the ball but rarely hurt the Demons. One inside-50 tells a story of his lack of impact. | 4 |
6 | Port | Hardly sighted in opening term and gave Polec too much room on wing. Gone backwards. | 4 |
7 | Haw | Pitted against Shiels early. Won a lot of the ball. | 6 |
8 | Syd | Won ball well on outside but could have been harder at a few contests in close. Five frees for. | 6 |
9 | Frem | Not a huge impact. In and out of the match. | 4 |
10 | Ess | Got a lot of the footy but again failed to hurt opponent with it. Lacked decisiveness. | 4 |
11 | NM | On the wing against Gibson most of night. Very ordinary game. | 2 |
12 | GCS | Started well on wing but made some costly errors at times when he appeared to be looking to stat-pad. | 6 |
14 | Bris | Just seven of his 28 touches were contested. Ran hard but not overly damaging on outside. | 6 |
15 | Port | One of the few shining lights, played beautifully between the arcs. | 7 |
16 | WB | Failed to impact the game to any degree apart from a goal in third term. | 4 |
17 | Ess | Just five of his 31 touches were contested. Not overly damaging despite big stats. | 6 |
18 | Haw | Decision-making and skill level not that of an elite player. Zero inside-50s. | 3 |
19 | GWS | Stayed involved for most of the game on the wing. | 6 |
20 | Coll | Goal in final term crucial but on the whole not a huge night. No inside-50s. | 5 |
21 | Geel | Won his share of ball but again wasted it at times. Three inside-50s. | 5 |
22 | StK | Won some ball off a wing but let himself down with a lack of polish. | 4 |
23 | Syd | Used the ball well off a wing, but outclassed by Sydney’s strong midfielders. | 5 |
2015 Season
1 | Carl | More than just defensive forward and won plenty of touches. | 7 |
2 | WB | Provided run but not as incisive going into attack as he can be. | 6 |
3 | Bris | Thrived in last quarter (11 touches) when result was known. | 6 |
4 | Melb | Worked hard on the outside on a wing. Linked well, but final product was lacking. | 6 |
5 | Geel | Ran hard all day to be among the best. Didn’t have an inside-50. | 7 |
6 | NM | Not his usual output but at least kept battling and giving something. | 6 |
7 | Coll | Great first term when side was struggling. Gut running a feature. | 7 |
8 | Port | Best on ground performance, was everywhere and snuck forward for a goal. | 8 |
9 | Ess | Huge last quarter when game in the balance. Ran his opponents ragged. | 8 |
10 | Frem | Fierce in attack on the ball and continued to lift his game to new levels. | 7 |
12 | WCE | Excellent ball winner all night and never relented. | 7 |
13 | Syd | Made the wing his own opposed to Jetta. Rarely made a mistake. | 7 |
14 | GWS | Quiet by his standards. Lots of his possessions were short sideways kicks. | 5 |
15 | Carl | Leading possession winner on ground. Five clearances and four inside-50s. | 7 |
16 | StK | Energetic and pressured opponents all day. | 6 |
17 | Frem | Found some space but made some curious decisions with ball in hand. | 5 |
18 | Haw | Started as wing on Hill. Worked strongly and constantly ran to create. | 7 |
19 | Adel | Struggled to maintain his outstanding form of previous weeks. | 5 |
20 | GCS | Gathered plenty of ball and hard running a feature. Five inside-50s, one goal. | 7 |
21 | Coll | Gut running a feature of another brilliant performance. All over the place. | 8 |
22 | Ess | Played typical game off a wing highlighted by some gut running and ball use. | 7 |
23 | NM | On wing against Gibson and there wasn’t much in the contest. | 6 |
EF | NM | Had the clamps put on his outside run by Gibson. | 4 |
2014 Season
1 | GCS | Disappointing night. Needed to step up and highlighted by the coach post-game. | 4 |
2 | Carl | Crucial job in tagging Gibbs out of game. Very strong in tight contests | 8 |
3 | WB | Given vital role on Griffen and had a good day until outwitted by Gia for crucial goal. | 6 |
4 | Coll | Numbers look OK but he didn’t have a huge impact on the contest. | 4 |
5 | Bris | Had a big start as the spare off half back, but his impact diminished. | 5 |
6 | Haw | Started on Hill and won a fair bit of ball, but Hill was a menace. | 6 |
7 | Geel | Won a lot of the footy but wasted it at times and didn’t hurt the Cats. | 5 |
9 | Melb | Ran hard to create. Had 23 disposals. Tried hard. | 6 |
10 | GWS | Afforded plenty of time and space on a wing. 31 possessions and two goals a fine return. | 8 |
11 | Ess | Close to Tigers’ best with six inside-50s, 10 marks. Great effort and intensity. | 7 |
12 | NM | Workrate good but impact limited given only one inside-50 and one clearance. | 5 |
13 | Frem | Battled away manfully in honest effort highlighted by 15 handball receives. | 7 |
14 | Syd | Picked up Jetta early then had Goodes in third term. Probably his best game this year. | 7 |
15 | StK | Worked extremely hard in gathering 36 touches and really stood up. | 7 |
16 | Bris | Bewick forced to go to him after big first term. Topped 30 for third week in row. | 8 |
17 | Port | Had 29 touches on a wing but wasn’t as incisive as he would have liked to be. | 6 |
18 | WCE | Won share of ball but not damaging given just three inside-50s, two clearances. | 5 |
19 | GWS | Got plenty of ball (32 possessions) but workrate dropped at times. | 6 |
20 | Ess | Team-high stat numbers but only one inside-50 and one clearance. | 7 |
21 | Adel | Best on ground with five clearances, four inside-50s and seven rebounds out of defensive 50. | 8 |
22 | StK | Generally good but made a few glaring mistakes. Matched on Newnes for much of the game. | 6 |
23 | Syd | Kept close tabs on McVeigh early. Provided plenty of his own impetus in a strong display. | 7 |
EF | Port | Finished great year with a horror game. Tackled well but largely unsighted. | 3 |

2013 Season
1 | Carl | Nervous start but settled to play a minor role down back. | 3 |
2 | StK | Sub. Thrown on in final term and was important in steadying ship. | 2 |
3 | WB | The sub. Came on for Knights early in the final term and was quiet. | 1 |
4 | Coll | Provided some run when he came on and did well to grab 13 disposals. | 4 |
5 | Frem | Huge effort. Hit targets, won his own footy and was running hard at the end. | 8 |
6 | Geel | OK with what he did and while he didn’t star it was a solid performance. | 6 |
7 | Port | Unheralded midfielder finding plenty of the footy. | 7 |
8 | Melb | Career best game from youngster – 23 touches in the first half a highlight. | 9 |
9 | Hamstring. | ||
10 | Hamstring. | ||
11 | Hamstring. | ||
12 | Adel | Two goals in second term and willingness to work both ways was great. | 7 |
13 | WB | Not as prominent as some weeks but did what was required. | 5 |
14 | StK | Matched on Ray initially. Had a good game. | 5 |
15 | NM | Started on a wing but subbed out early after a heavy knock showing great courage. | 1 |
16 | GCS | Fought even battle with Harbrow on a wing. Five clearances were a bonus. | 6 |
17 | Frem | Played on a wing and was influential in patches. Worked hard back into defence too. | 6 |
18 | Syd | Had an effective role as negating forward on McVeigh. | 6 |
19 | Haw | Really tough performance on a wing. Beat Hill and used the ball well all day. | 7 |
20 | Bris | Used his penetrating kick often and to good effect off half back. | 6 |
21 | Carl | Was on fire early with two first quarter goals but faded after the main break. | 6 |
22 | GWS | Booted three goals and linked well through the middle. Solid outing. | 7 |
23 | Ess | Had the ball on a string with 16 marks and a whopping 35 touches. No one went near him! | 8 |
EF | Carl | One goal but won’t have fond memories of his first final. Struggled for impact. | 3 |

2012 Season
1 | Carl | Strong kid who did a couple of nice things. | 3 |
2 | Coll | Youngster kept contesting. Getting a feel for it. | 4 |
3 | Melb | Youngster was steady in back half all day. A real player in the making. | 6 |
4 | Geel | Great game from youngster. Looks at home already on big stage. | 6 |
5 | WCE | Youngster did well and kicked a goal in third term before subbed off. | 4 |
6 | Port | First-year player continues to impress with his tenacity. | 5 |
7 | Syd | Subbed on in the last quarter and had three handballs. | 2 |
8 | Ess | Sub. On before half time for Grimes. OK in second half. | 3 |
9 | Haw | Kid did a solid job across half back/wing until being subbed out late. | 5 |
10 | StK | Handy input and kicked late goals. | 5 |
11 | Frem | Good effort from the kid although he ran out of steam towards the end. | 6 |
12 | GWS | Youngster continues to impress and did some good things to assist the side. | 6 |
14 | Adel | First year player has played every game and holding his own form well. | 4 |
15 | Melb | Given a crack in the midfield in great learning experience – five inside-50s. | 6 |
16 | GCS | Led to the ball a bit by Brown but used ball well out of defence though. | 6 |
17 | NM | Great effort. Won some one-on-ones and was a great source of drive. | 7 |
18 | Carl | Hard worker but needs to get more value for kicks. | 5 |
19 | Bris | Did his job nullifying the Lions’ small forwards. | 6 |
20 | WB | Has played better games this year. Might be starting to tire. | 3 |
