2017 Digest: Stripped down and looks in fine condition after an eventful pre-season. Ability to escape tackler’s clutches in traffic is elite.
2017 NAB Cup:
2017 Season
1 | StK | Did it all in the middle and displayed potent attacking qualities as well as tackling strongly. Really stepping up. | 9 |
2 | Carl | Elite in tight once again with his use of hands and body. Huge first term, but important late when the ball was at its hottest. | 8 |
3 | Geel | Not as prolific as pervious week in terms of impact but still a very handy player around the stoppages; eight tackles to boot. | 7 |
4 | Frem | An expert at the stoppages – especially early. At times needs to kick rather than give little handball, but good again. | 7 |
5 | Rich | A ball-winning machine in tight with most of his work done again by hand. Pinged for a few throws, but another super outing. | 8 |
6 | Ess | Superb in tight once again. Had five clearances to go with 33 possessions, but only gained 121 metres. | 8 |
7 | Haw | Greg Williams would have been proud – four of his total 28 disposals were handballs. Five clearances and four tackles. | 7 |
8 | Adel | Out goaled Eddie Betts in his own pocket with a master piece tight on the boundary line in the third term. | 7 |
9 | NM | Racked up 26 possessions but influence not pronounced; four clearances. Did kick a fine goal in the final term. | 6 |
10 | GCS | 35 touches with 11 clearances. Didn’t always hurt the Suns, but some of his work in second half was elite. | 7 |
11 | Bye. | ||
12 | Coll | Not as prolific as other weeks early on, then put in an epic final hour to play a pivotal role in the thrilling win. | 8 |
13 | WB | Just the six kicks, but 23 handballs and was very good in tight once again. 13 contested possessions. | 7 |
14 | WCE | Tagged but kept working and finished with 27 possessions. | 7 |
15 | Syd | Didn’t come on until 15 minutes into first term. His quietest game of the season, but still did a few decent things. | 5 |
16 | Carl | Busier than a three-peckered Billy goat. Ended with 29 disposals, six clearances, five inside-50s and nine tackles. | 8 |
17 | Adel | Took on Brad Crouch in midfield and enjoyed an even duel. Can hold his head high. | 7 |
18 | Port | A hard head in close with 30 touches, five clearances and 10 tackles. Did he injure himself late? | 8 |
19 | NM | A genius with his hands and work in tight areas. Kicked smart goal and had 13 clearances. Had few mates when it got it tough. | 8 |
20 | GWS | Needs to trust himself to kick more often as he is a good user generally. Worked hard in tight. | 6 |
21 | StK | On fire in first 10 minutes, then Steele and Dunstan put the brakes on for a while. Important clearance work in final term. | 8 |
22 | Bris | Slow start but when he got into his groove his work at the stoppages was superb. Took a fine mark too. | 7 |
23 | Coll | Shadowed at the stoppages, but Pies couldn’t curtail him in congestion. 30 touches again. | 8 |
2016 Season
1 | GWS | Gigantic debut 1st half with 15 touches. Cooled a bit but still ended with seven clearances. | 7 |
2 | Ess | Not as prominent as debut but still worked hard in middle. Looked heavy legged in second half. | 4 |
3 | NM | Six clearances in first term and two second quarter goals. Contested ball work superb again. | 7 |
4 | Coll | Quieter than he has been but laid 11 tackles and ball use was typically smart. | 4 |
5 | Rested. | ||
6 | VFL | Won plenty of hard footy and laid 16 bone-crunching tackles. Very good. | – |
7 | GCS | In and under all night, with a plethora of handballs to set up team mates. | 7 |
8 | WB | Hardly sighted opening half and while lifted slightly he was not a concern to the Dogs. | 3 |
9 | Bris | Hampered by an early corkie but work at stoppages and in tight very good. Missed two sitters. | 6 |
10 | Thigh. | ||
11 | Haw | Some clearance work was good but unable to get into space too often. | 5 |
12 | Coll | Under pressure a lot and only had three kicks. Not a lot of impact. | 3 |
13 | Syd | Clean with hands in heavy going early but then drifted from game until late spurt. | 4 |
15 | VFL | Hard at the contest in close. 26 possessions and 11 tackles in a fine effort. | – |
16 | VFL | Bye. | – |
17 | VFL | Seven tackles to go with seven clearances. Game warranted a recall to senior team. | – |
18 | VFL | Strong game in midfield although efficiency was a bit down. | – |
19 | VFL | Superb ball-winner in midfield and looks ready for senior return. 37 touches. | – |
20 | Haw | Eight clearances and 11 contested possessions after getting cleaned up early. | 7 |
21 | Port | Poise, class, composure, toughness, this kid has it all. | 7 |
22 | Carl | Head to head with Cripps at stoppages early. Beaten but stuck at it in final three quarters. | 6 |
23 | VFL | Outstanding when it mattered –especially in tight. 33 touches, seven clearances. | – |
