Cameron SUTCLIFFE

2017 Digest:   Coach likes the way he goes about the running defender role, but he slid out of the team late in 2016. Good signs against Collingwood.

2017 NAB Cup:  

2017 Season

1	Geel	Hands were full all night. Many of his possessions were grabbed behind the ball and didn't impact the Cats.	3
2	Port	Saw a lot of the footy as it was camped in the Fremantle defensive fifty most of the match.	5
3	WAFL	Strong rebounding game off half back with 28 possessions. Repelled Subiaco attacks at will.	–
4	WAFL	Laid 10 tackles to go with 23 touches, but turned the ball over a few times.	–
5	WAFL	Bye.	–
6	WAFL	Clearly Pell's best in big defeat. Had 37 possessions playing mostly in midfield and tried hard throughout.	–
7	Ess	Had a defensive role and stuck to it.	5
8	Rich	Quiet game down back. Didn’t make mistakes but certainly wasn’t a player that caused concerns offensively for his team.	4
9	Carl	Impressive effort because he put his body on the line.	6
10	Adel	Got to see the first hand the skill and poise of Wayne Milera.	4
11	Coll	Doesn’t use the ball well enough.	4
12	Bris	Off to a bad start when he allowed Cutler to bag a couple of goals. Never fully recovered.	5
13		Bye.
14		Senior emergency.
15	WAFL	Five clearances and a goal proved handy in a low-scoring contest.	–
16	WAFL	One of Peel's best in midfield, then in attack. 25 touches and four nice goals.	–
17	WAFL	Played really well in a midfield/forward role. Had 31 touches, 12 clearances and 11 tackles.	–
18		Senior emergency.
19	GWS	After doing it well in the WAFL, he played a defensive midfield role and rolled forward on occasion. Strong performance in all areas.	7
20	GCS	Spent time in the centre square. Needs to get the ball though. Only seven disposal.	3
21	Syd	Almost seemed to be tagging Heeney at centre bounces early but that match-up disappeared. Minimal impact.	3
22	Rich	Played on Cotchin and restricted his impact. Kept him to 18 disposals.	6
23	Ess	Used at half back to rebound and did is fairly well at stages.	6

2016 Season

1	WB	Caught against bigger opponents a few times in defence. Tried hard but outgunned.	4
2	GCS	Gold Coast’s medium sized forwards had big nights.	4
3	WCE	Found the footy. A lot of his teammates didn’t.	5
4	NM	OK in the back half but the ball spent a lot of time down there.	5
5	Carl	Pushed forward for a goal. Freo needed that.	5
6	Adel	Tried to contain Lynch, and somewhat successful.	6
7	GWS	His disposals from half-back weren’t damaging.	4
8	Haw	Not significant in defence.	4
9	WAFL	Responded to demotion with 25 touches, seven marks.	–
10	StK	OK but not a standout in any aspect.	4
11	Ess	The ball wasn’t in defence much. Quiet.	4
12	Bris	Made the most of his 13 possessions, running at 100 per cent efficiency.	5
13	Port	Pushed forward at times. His tackling was also good.	5
14	Coll	Low key but honest soldier.	5
16	Melb	Mopped up well at times in the back half and got better as the game wore on.	6
17	Geel	Did well both in defence and drifting forward for a goal. Handy effort.	6
18	GCS	Ran at 100% efficiency with his nine touches.	3
19	Syd	Didn’t do much. The backline was under siege.	4
20		Senior emergency.
21	WAFL	Bye.	–
22	GWS	Swamped by the opposition after quarter time. No real impact.	5
23	WB	His stats outweighed his impact. It didn’t feel like a 24 possession game.	5

2015 Season

1	Port	Defended instead of being the rebounder this time. Held his own.	5
2	Geel	Stats not huge but plays his role without fuss and fits in around others.	5
3	WCE	Had Hill for much of day and was sturdy until, like teammates, switching off late.	5
4	Syd	Ran forward for a goal. Did a great job on Heeney.	6
5	Melb	Garlett caused him some concerns at times. Didn’t drop his head.	4
6	Ess	Gave the team run from defence.	6
7	WB	Started on Dickson but was moved when the Dog had a purple patch.	4
8	NM	Calm with the ball and good defensively on Higgins.	5
9	Adel	No real influence on the match.	4
10	Rich	Didn’t have much of an impact in back half. Three clangers.	4
11	GCS	Huge first half before tapering in second half.	6
13	Coll	Field kicking horrible on occasions. Got to fix that up from half back.	4
14		Senior emergency.
15	WAFL	Strong response to demotion with 30 possessions and nine marks.	–
16	Carl	Didn’t have a big say in the game.	4
17	Rich	Steady part of back six without doing anything extraordinary.	5
18	GWS	Defended well. Got his job done.	5
19	StK	Honest and steady contribution.	6
20	WCE	No real influence.	4
21	NM	Kept busy with North small forwards.	5
22	Melb	Hurt his shoulder late. Needs to recover for finals.	4
23		Shoulder.
QF	Syd	Had the task on Heeney and had the better of that match-up.	7
PF	Haw	Did a nice job in blanketing the dangerous Breust.	7

2014 Season

1	Coll	Ran hard off half back and was a solid contributor.	5
2	GCS	Didn’t have a significant impact but did lay five tackles to keep pressure on.	3
3	Haw	Matched on Gunston at first in defence.	5
4	Ess	Competed hard and provided a good link between defence and attack.	6
5	Syd	Mostly matched with Brandon Jack, it was an even contest.	5

7	WCE	Another hard running Docker who ran amok in space.	7
8	Port	Solid in defence. Laid seven tackles.	5
9	Geel	In tandem with Spurr able to nullify Cats forward-line ground players.	6
11	WB	Worked hard as usual.	5
12	Adel	Workmanlike effort.	5
13	Rich	Underrated type who did his job with a minimum of fuss down back.	5
14	Bris	Had Green for a time. Inconspicuous game.	4
15	WCE	Learning the caper in new role down back but was OK.	5
16	Melb	Kicked the first goal and played a solid role without starring.	5
17	GWS	Kept Smith under wraps when opposed to him in a solid defensive effort.	6
18	StK	Kept busy by Billings.	3
19	Carl	Underrated conveyance who provided some quality rebound early.	4
20	Geel	Underrated type who kicked a nice goal, ran hard and played his role.	6
21	Haw	Good run from half back. Used the ball well.	7
22	Bris	Another who did OK without doing anything brilliant.	5
23	Port	Really good game across four quarters.	7
QF	Syd	Part of the Ibbotson tactic. Had to look after Reid or Goodes to help him.	6
SF	Port	Took Gray when resting inside 50. The Port man put on a third-quarter show.	5
