2017 Digest:   Again battling calf problems which isn’t a great sign given injury history. Highly unlikely to play in opening rounds.

18	NEAFL	Got through with no issues. Great to see him back out there. 18 disposals and AFL return looms.	–
19	NEAFL	Ready for AFL return. Way too good for NEAFL with 25 disposals.	–
20	Melb	First game for new club after long wait. Kicked a goal in the final term after a few missed chances. Got through okay.	4
21	WB	Couple of glimpses but still finding his feet after long spell out of the game. Limited disposals.	3
22	WCE	So smart as the link man between midfield and half forward. Faded but going to be big in September.	6
23	Geel	Got going in the second quarter but effort petered out in second half; 20 disposals and five tackles.	6
QF	Adel	A spectator for long periods playing mostly in the attacking zone.	4
SF	WCE	Spent most of night at half back, but then ran onto handball to add a goal. Encouraging.	5
PF	Rich	Injured calf again and was hampered for most of the second half; 11 disposals.	3

4		Quad.
5		Quad.
6	Port	Spent much of night at half forward and kicked a nice third-term goal. Eased in.	4
7	Haw	Prominent in start then reined in during second term and impact lessened.	5
8	Syd	Had it on a string in first half with 25 touches to keep Tigers afloat. Quieter late.	7
9	Frem	Good ball winning in the wet. Laid six tackles too.	6
10	Ess	Two first-term goals helped side grab a lead it did not surrender. Ended with three.	7
11	NM	Chugged away but never looked like taking the game by the throat.	4
12	GCS	Three smart goals and ball use a feature throughout. One of the few players to be sure with hands.	7
14	Bris	Started deep forward on Gardiner and looked dangerous, but in the end didn’t have a huge day.	5
15	Port	Wasted up forward in the first half when the game needed to be won.	6
16	WB	Lifted after the main break but let himself down at times with poor disposal.	6
17	Ess	Good numbers in first half without breaking game open. Iced up calf at half time, didn’t return.	4

2015 Season

Played for : Richmond

1	Carl	Reported early and subbed off for a rest in last quarter.	4
2		Suspended.
3		Achilles.
4		Achilles.
5		Calf.
6	NM	Involved early in game but as fitness gave out his impact petered out.	5
7	Coll	Brilliant. Two score assists and two last-term goals were clutch.	8
8	Port	In sparling form and wants to be involved all the time.	7
9	Ess	Looked a class above at times. Used the pill beautifully.	8
10	Frem	His use of ball and footy smarts always make Richmond better.	7
12	WCE	Started well but serviceable only for rest of night.	5
13	Syd	Didn’t star but more than handy through midfield and kicked a goal.	6
14	GWS	Quiet game with Hampton on his hammer. Five inside-50s and a goal.	5
15	Carl	Looked dangerous at half forward and provided an option all night.	7
16	StK	Pivotal to success and booted three goals as icing on the cake.	8
17	Frem	Spent time in attack, midfield and even off half back. Not at his best.	5
18	Haw	Big first quarter of three goals on Burgoyne. Used through varied roles	8
19		Ill.
20	GCS	Classy performance playing mainly up forward. Three handy goals.	7
21	Coll	Class again came to the fore with three goals and six clearances.	7
22	Ess	Melksham wore him tight but got off chain for two goals. Concussed late?	6
23	NM	On Hansen early and held in first term, but after that a decisive factor.	8
EF	NM	Another star who had minimal impact when his team needed him.	4

2014 Season

Played for : Richmond

1	GCS	Along with Cotchin superb in midfield and pushing forward. Late miss the only real blemish.	7
2	Carl	Damaging in first half then was reined right in.	7
3		Ankle.
4		Ankle.
5		Ankle.
6		Ankle.
7	Geel	Return game was handy. OK first half then tagged Selwood in second.	6
9	Melb	His 24 possessions weren’t the type we’re used to. The run and long kicking weren’t there.	6
10	GWS	Started in the midfield but also spent time at half back despite Palmer tag. Excellent.	7
11	Ess	Failed to impact at half back early then released and fared a little better.	5
12	NM	Huge first half (13 disposals) then went right out of the game when Roos got on top.	5
13	Frem	Didn’t do enough. No clearances, two inside-50s and one goal.	4
14	Syd	Bird was tracking him at the start	4
15	StK	Spent most of the game in the attacking half and was one of the best.	7
16	Bris	Quietly went about amassing plenty of touches but not hugely noticeable.	7
17	Port	Kicked a big early goal and drove the ball forward well. Solid outing.	7
18	WCE	Belied conditions to look dangerous around footy and among the better Tigers.	7
19	GWS	Two big goals to go with 31 possessions to be the best player on the park.	8
20	Ess	Worried Hocking at times when forward. Two goals proved very handy.	6
21	Adel	Could have been a huge night if he kicked straight; missed four out of his six attempts.	8
22	StK	Kept driving Tigers forward and was a key to the win.	7
23	Syd	In tough conditions, added the touch of polish the Tigers needed to get over the line.	8
EF	Port	Ran hard but only 12 kicks limited his impact despite good numbers.	5

2013 Season

Played for : Richmond

1	Carl	The polish with which he played helped to settle side. Three goals to boot.	7
2	StK	Linked well with his pace all night – seven inside-50s and 10 cont possessions.	8
3	WB	Three goals, including one inside the first 11 seconds. A star all afternoon.	8
4	Coll	Numbers overstate his influence. Had six inside-50s and six clearances.	7
5	Frem	Crowley tag made the going tough. Never allowed to link through middle.	5
6	Geel	Apart from second term he was tagged out of the game by Hunt. Just battled.	5
7	Port	Stand-in skipper was inspirational with his run and carry.	8
8	Melb	Tagged by McKenzie but found a way to stay involved in all facets.	7
9	Ess	Beaten by Hocking and couldn’t follow up from recent good form.	5
10	WCE	Ran hard all night to be a link man through the middle – six inside-50s.	7
12	Adel	Had 22 uncontested possessions and you can’t give him that space.	8
13	WB	Picken spent time on him, rotated well from midfield and half back. Solid outing.	6
14	StK	Had the edge over young Murdoch and was hard to stop.	7
15	NM	No impact in set-up role behind ball and shifted forward. Hine did a great job.	4
16	GCS	Freed himself up and seemed to find space when others struggled.	7
17	Frem	Early goal but then blanketed by Crowley and was moved deep forward.	4
18	Syd	Bird kept with him all the way and while his stats were solid he was contained.	5
19	Haw	Shadowed well by Lewis early but came into it after the main break. Just OK.	5
20	Bris	Found enough of the ball without creating many offensive plays.	5
21	Carl	Was one of the Tigers best and was a constant threat through the middle.	7
22	GWS	Went at just over 52% efficiency despite finding a bit of the ball. Needs to be better.	4
23	Ess	Provided his customary run, but Stanton had a stack of the ball too. Solid effort.	6
EF	Carl	Used ball well from half back and gave constant run and drive.	7

2012 Season

Played for : Richmond

1	Carl	Slow to get started but then had increased influence in middle quarters.	6
2	Coll	Kept running in midfield and defence and was the Tigers’ best.	7
3	Melb	Joined in party for 26 touches and four inside 50s. Handy enough.	7
4	Geel	Probably best. His 31 touches and eight inside 50s kept pressure on Cats.	8
5	WCE	Copped knock late in second term but returned. Took game on all day.	7
6	Port	Was everywhere, had four clearances, six inside 50s and kicked a goal.	7
7	Syd	Very good. Got more touches in the midfield and was damaging.	7
8	Ess	Strong first half then took advantage when given space in third term.	8
9	Haw	Linked well and always dangerous on the outside – 14 contested possessions.	8
10	StK	Ran hard but rested forward where he had no impact for long periods.	7
11	Frem	Shadowed by Crowley and not a factor at all – one inside-50.	3
12	GWS	Rebounded from quiet game to be a driving force in the middle.	8
14	Adel	One of Richmond’s best with 16 contested possessions and a goal.	7
15	Melb	Had two goals in opening 35 minutes and OK without setting game alight.	6
16	GCS	36 possessions but lacked the hurt factor you would expect at times.	6
17	NM	Team high disposal numbers complemented with six inside-50s. All class.	8
18	Carl	Creative in first quarter and was good apart from quiet third term.	7
19	Bris	Had a relatively quiet third term but outstanding for rest of night.	8
20	WB	Run first class – seven clearances, eight inside-50s and seven tackles.	8
21	Frem	Well held by Crowley but kicked two goals to still have an impact.	6
22	Ess	Ran hard and created all night and won a heap of the ball.	7
23	Port	Seemed to go through the motions a little but still contributed.	6
