Brent REILLY

2015 Digest:   Shoulder problems for the second year in succession ruined the veteran’s 2014 season and a reconstruction ended it after 10 matches – following on from 12 in 2013. At 31 faces a huge challenge to rekindle the 2012 form that saw him earn an All-Australian nomination as a sweeping half-back.

2015 NAB Cup:   Suffered a fractured skull in freak training accident and sidelined indefinitely.
