2017 Digest:   May be coming off a limited preparation but first two outings had fans looking askance at Gubby Allan’s four-year deal.

2017 NAB Cup:  

2017 Season

1	WB	After late call-up got involved, kicked a goal and showed a bit – to the relief of many in the camp.	5
2	Rich	One nice goal on half time but missed sitter after a great tackle soon after. Not enough from the half million-dollar man.	3
3	Syd	Quiet offensively but did his bit defensively at times in front half. Needs to do more.	4
4	VFL	Worked into the game after a slow start in attack. Ended with two goals and applied good pressure.	–
5	VFL	Only the nine possessions in attack and one goal. Laid five tackles, but not enough to cut it for a recall.	–
6	VFL	Veteran remains under the pump with a sub-standard VFL performance. 16 disposals, no goals and five tackles.	–
7	VFL	Okay without starring. Must be wondering whether he made the right call to leave Freo.	–
8		Senior emergency.
9	VFL	Had 12 touches and tackled hard, but was goalless.	–
10		Bye.
11	VFL	Used higher up the ground and was consistently involved. Had 19 touches, and used them well.	–
12	VFL	Ended with four goals – two in the final term. Worked hard enough, but still not near a recall.	–
13		Bye.
14	VFL	Booted five goals – a couple over the top in square.	–
15	VFL	Worked hard to present. Took eight marks and laid eight tackles. Okay.	–
16	VFL	Goalless in the win, but played up the ground and laid some good tackles as usual.	–
17	VFL	Played high half forward and provided a nice target in transition. Veteran had just 13 touches, though.	–
18	VFL	Played as a lead up forward but just didn't find enough of the footy. 11 disposals.	–
19	VFL	Simply doesn't do enough at VFL level, which is really disappointing. Inefficient 16 disposals.	–
20	VFL	Kicked a goal and tackled well, but wasn’t a major factor.	–
21	VFL	Got a lot of the ball – as he should against North Ballarat – but used it very well.	–
22	VFL	Hard worker as always around the footy. 24 possessions and six clearances.	–
23	VFL	Only fair with 16 touches and eight marks in loss.	–
