2017 Digest: Trade period drama in rear-view mirror. An output matching 2016 will reaffirm why club was reluctant to let him go.
2017 NAB Cup:
2017 Season
Played for : Carlton
1 | Rich | Started like a house on fire and kept battling – seven clearances and four inside-50s. | 7 |
2 | Melb | Strong game again through midfield with five inside-50s. Usually much cleaner though with his disposals. | 7 |
3 | Ess | Looked a class above when others were fumbling; eight clearances, six inside-50s, nine tackles and 35 disposals. | 9 |
4 | GCS | Drifted in and out of the game in midfield for his 22 touches. Had five clearances, but lacked impact at times. | 6 |
5 | Port | Bobbed up for a great goal from a tight angle late in the match, won plenty of footy without hurting Port. | 6 |
6 | Syd | Won 23 disposals but not at his best. Did have seven inside-50s and five clearances so play his part in the victory. | 6 |
7 | Coll | Usual strange mix of lackadaisical early acts (two-touch first quarter) and later incisive contributions. | 6 |
8 | StK | Lifted in the third term after a quiet first half. A big reason why the Blues gained momentum before the last break. | 7 |
9 | Frem | Led the way in the midfield. Won nine clearances among 34 possessions and one goal. | 8 |
10 | NM | A huge four-quarter effort. Kept his side in it when the Kangaroos were on top, and finished with 38 possessions and three goals. | 9 |
11 | Bye. | ||
12 | GWS | Star midfielder’s disposal was off at times but lifted when it counted in final term with eight disposals; 27 possessions. | 7 |
13 | GCS | Head and shoulders above everyone. 43 possessions, 10 tackles and two clutch late goals. Amazing. | 10 |
14 | Rich | Won the ball well enough again and generally used it properly. Steady effort. | 7 |
15 | Adel | Showed the Crows what they are missing out on, rarely makes mistakes and makes you pay when given time with the footy. | 8 |
16 | Melb | Won a lot of the ball but decision-making and skill execution was way off; 16 of his 32 disposals missed the target. | 5 |
17 | WB | Racked up 32 disposals, eight clearances, three inside-50s and one goal. Held up his end of the bargain. | 8 |
18 | Bris | No disposals in opening quarter. First time that’s happened (any quarter) since 2009. Only eight touches. Shut-down by Rockliff. | 4 |
19 | Geel | For second week in a row he struggled to impact the game and was tagged by S Selwood at times; 16 effective disposals. | 5 |
20 | Ess | Huge game highlighted by nine clearances, seven tackles and one great goal. Did all he could in the middle. | 8 |
21 | WCE | Kicked a classy goal from the boundary and had 26 disposals. One of the best. | 8 |
22 | Haw | Worked hard with 8 tackles and 20 touches, but not at his damaging best. | 6 |
23 | Syd | Found it 24 times, but apart from the second term, didn’t have a big say in the game. | 6 |
2016 Season
Played for : Carlton
1 | Rich | In everything in first term and continued it on throughout the night. Good start to the year. | 8 |
2 | Syd | Made some errors but not alone. OK without setting the world on fire. | 6 |
3 | GCS | Good four-quarter effort in midfield. | 7 |
4 | WB | Had seven of his total touches in the final term and overall disappointing. | 4 |
5 | Frem | Booted a key goal and his skill was a level above most players. | 7 |
6 | Ess | Snap goal in third term was a beauty and led team in disposals. Ten clearances were huge. | 8 |
7 | Coll | Two goals in all-important third term set Blues on their way. Ended with three and showed class. | 8 |
8 | Port | Added a harder edge to his game with work in and around the ball. One of the Blues’ best. | 8 |
9 | NM | Head to head with Cunnington at stages and was a decent ball winner but not at his best. | 6 |
10 | Geel | Went head-to-head with Dangerfield and torched him. Nine clearances and seven tackles. | 9 |
11 | Bris | Beaten by his former teammate Mitch Robinson. An afternoon to forget. | 3 |
12 | StK | Delivery of the ball was well below normal standard which reduced his threat. | 5 |
14 | GWS | Magnificent from start to finish – 14 contested possessions, 10 clearances and nine tackles. | 8 |
15 | Coll | Two goals and five inside 50s but well held by Greenwood. | 6 |
16 | Adel | Led team in disposals but many were wasted (15 ineffective). Seven inside-50s. | 6 |
17 | WCE | Got going in second half. Ended with five inside-50s and four clearances. | 6 |
18 | Syd | Superb all afternoon with 15 contested possessions, 11 tackles and eight inside-50s. | 8 |
19 | Haw | Never stopped trying. Laid a game high 9 tackles and worked in tandem with Cripps | 7 |
20 | StK | Kicked a classy goal and had some good touches, but was a little way from his best. | 6 |
21 | Bris | One of only a few Blues who put in before half time. | 7 |
22 | Melb | Dominated the first half with 26 touches. Brayshaw slowed him a touch, but a monster on the day. | 9 |
23 | Ess | Lifted after a quiet start. Used the ball well and was one of his team’s best. | 7 |
2015 Season
Played for : Carlton
1 | Rich | Won a lot of possessions but his disposal was well below par. | 5 |
2 | WCE | Won his share of the ball, including six clearances, so work-rate up to standard. | 7 |
3 | Ess | Well off his best. One inside-50s simply not enough for a frontline playmaker. | 5 |
4 | StK | OK but didn’t do enough damage on a day when he had the chance. | 5 |
5 | Coll | Reasonable stats belied ordinary first half and things got worse. Bronx cheers. | 3 |
6 | Bris | Started well, clearance work OK but can’t help but think he can offer more. | 6 |
7 | GWS | Tried hard with 10 clearances but didn’t have much support. | 6 |
8 | Geel | Came off with sore back. A shadow of the player of last year. | 3 |
9 | Back. | ||
10 | Back. | ||
11 | Back. | ||
12 | Port | Laid tackle that ended Gray’s day. Ball use well off normal efficiency. | 5 |
13 | Suspended. | ||
14 | Suspended. | ||
15 | Rich | Injured shoulder and had very little impact despite stats. | 5 |
16 | Pectoral. | ||
17 | Pectoral. | ||
18 | Pectoral. | ||
19 | Pectoral. | ||
20 | Pectoral. | ||
21 | Pectoral. | ||

23 | Pectoral. |
2014 Season
Played for : Carlton
1 | Port | Strong first half and kept going but like other leaders finished quietly. | 5 |
2 | Rich | Little impact in the game and missed important shot on three-quarter time. | 3 |
3 | Ess | Worked hard but fact he had just one inside-50 and two rebounds was telling. | 6 |
4 | Melb | Total disposal numbers overstate his influence. No urgency in his game. | 4 |
5 | WB | Hard, constant running a feature early and had a good game. | 8 |
6 | WCE | Laid 11 tackles and won nine clearances. Got down and dirty. | 8 |
7 | Coll | Ran hard without being able to lift the side in any way. | 4 |
8 | StK | Racked up some big numbers in the middle highlighted by 17 contested possessions. | 8 |
10 | Adel | Won a lot of ball but some of his defensive efforts were abysmal. | 5 |
11 | Bris | Very quiet start and while he improved he wasn’t influential. | 5 |
12 | Geel | Played game of his life. Huge stats in all categories, including four goals. | 9 |
13 | Haw | Rich vein of form continues with team-high nine clearances, 15 cont poss. | 8 |
14 | GWS | Continued his rich vein of form in an excellent all-round display. | 8 |
15 | Coll | Effectiveness down on previous weeks and not a huge influence forward of centre. | 6 |
16 | StK | Weller tracked him and did a good negating job. | 4 |
17 | Syd | Filled out the stat sheet in another excellent display. Just needed more help. | 8 |
18 | NM | Good start with smart goal and strong in first half. Maintained output. | 7 |
19 | Frem | Avoided a hard tag but only flitted in and out of contest. Not his best effort. | 6 |
20 | GCS | Creative throughout and drifted forward for a telling goal in second term. | 8 |
21 | Geel | Seven inside-50s, six clearances, two goals. Hard to believe he got under guard. | 8 |
22 | Port | The Blues’ best with six clearances, five inside-50s and a goal. | 7 |
23 | Ess | Had the better of Hocking. Could have been the hero in the final seconds. | 7 |

2013 Season
Played for : Carlton
1 | Rich | Racked up the stats and won 16 contested possessions. Big start to season. | 8 |
2 | Coll | Not as influential as previous week but played his part and used ball well. | 6 |
3 | Geel | For a game of 20 disposals his impact was minimal. Not enough grunt. | 5 |
4 | WCE | Stout game highlighted by a couple of nice tackles and nine contested possessions. | 6 |
5 | Adel | Subbed off with hamstring tightness after a classy 15 disposal first half. | 5 |
6 | Hamstring. | ||
7 | Hamstring. | ||
8 | Hamstring. | ||
9 | Bris | A nine disposal last term gave him respectable stats. Otherwise a little quiet. | 6 |
10 | GWS | Played usual sweeping role without breaking the game open. Eight inside -50s. | 6 |
11 | Ess | Head to head with Goddard. Neither had a major influence on the game. | 6 |
12 | Haw | Solid throughout – 10 cont poss, six inside-50s, eight tackles, five clearances. | 8 |
14 | Syd | Driving force in getting the Blues back into the game. Added some grunt to class. | 7 |
15 | Coll | Numbers OK but impact limited. Failed to stand up in terms of intensity. | 4 |
16 | StK | Stats were bigger than his impact on the game. | 5 |
17 | NM | Head to head with Ziebell who took the honours. | 5 |
18 | GCS | Relished having plenty of space and racked up getting the footy. | 7 |
19 | Frem | Played deep back on Mayne and did a fair job, but Blues missed his drive in middle. | 6 |
20 | WB | Used in defence again and wasn’t able to influence the game as much as he’d like. | 5 |
21 | Rich | Looked dangerous when moved forward and kicked two big goals in the second | 7 |
22 | Ess | Went missing late when the game needed to be won. Disappointing. | 5 |
23 | Port | A whopping nine clearances and nine inside 50s plus a crucial goal. | 9 |
EF | Rich | Big second half was crucial to Blues’ lift. | 7 |
SF | Syd | Again had a good final but was swamped in third term along with many others. | 6 |

GF |
2012 Season
Played for : Carlton
1 | Rich | Solid input which tapered at the end. | 6 |
2 | Bris | Bewick played negating tag on him, but he still managed to be productive. | 6 |
3 | Coll | Lined up on resting mids. Strong game and ran hard to create. | 7 |
4 | Ess | Poised and polished as usual, but 11 kicks is not enough. | 5 |
5 | Frem | Quarter-back as the plus one in defence for periods – 25 disposals. | 7 |
6 | GWS | Stats suggest an OK effort but pretty sure he can deliver better than that. | 6 |
7 | StK | When game was there to be won he had seven disposals after half time. | 4 |
8 | Adel | Horrendous. Only five kicks earned him bronx cheers of Blues fans. | 3 |
9 | Melb | Did well but fans want him to do it in a big game against quality opposition. | 6 |
10 | Port | Needs to find the footy across half back or it’s time for the midfield. | 5 |
11 | Geel | Used on Johnson and kept him goalless. Only six kicks so offensively down. | 6 |
12 | WCE | Played with a fraction more grunt and held Shuey in second half; 10 cont poss. | 6 |
14 | Haw | Picked up plenty of kicks in first half and was influential at half back. | 6 |
15 | Coll | Lifted his intensity playing at half back in one of his better games for the year. | 7 |
16 | NM | Went to forward line in second half. Not prominent at either end. | 5 |
17 | WB | Helped break open game with two goals in last quarter. | 6 |
18 | Rich | Matched with Deledio and beaten early | 5 |
19 | Syd | Initially given main role on Goodes then moved elsewhere. | 5 |
20 | Bris | One of his better games. Used footy well and kicked a nice long goal. | 7 |
21 | Ess | His sort of game with everything going Blues’ way – just three contested poss. | 5 |
22 | GCS | Needed more from him. | 4 |
23 | StK | Responded well to more responsibility when Judd went off. | 7 |
