2017 Season

3 | – | ||
4 | Adel | Played his role in the Essendon midfield, and was good for his first game of the season. | 5 |
5 | Suspended. | ||
6 | Melb | Made some early errors, but got better as the game wore on. Not the worst. | 6 |
7 | Frem | Struggled. Couldn’t get involved. | 2 |
8 | Geel | Irishman mixed good and bad. Only nine effective disposals, one tackle, one inside-50 and no scores. | 3 |
9 | WCE | Did some good things in back half. Had some smart touches and mowed down Mitchell in the middle. | 6 |
10 | Rich | Irish defender got caught a lot but also found enough in his tank to rebound the footy. Effort was there. | 5 |
11 | GWS | Did some good things after knock to leg and always looked to take the game on. | 5 |
12 | Port | Got better as the game wore on in the back half. Played his part. | 6 |
13 | Bye. | ||
14 | Syd | Slow start, but had a big second half to get Bombers back into the game. Played with genuine enthusiasm. | 7 |
15 | Bris | Had a few glimpses of breakaway pace, but not enough. | 4 |
16 | Coll | Showed some dash out of the back half and while stats were modest (13) he seemed to have more of an impact. | 6 |
17 | StK | Plenty of run and carry and showed good workrate to drop back deep in defence when required. | 6 |
18 | NM | Not as good as he was against the Saints. Half of his 10 disposals were rebound 50’s. Slalom run trademark of Irish half-backs. | 5 |
19 | WB | Provided some dash off half back through the middle. Not the worst. | 6 |
20 | Carl | Irishman provided some rebound. Makes good decisions and tries to run and take game on every time he gets it. | 6 |
21 | Adel | Prepared to take risks running from defence and a few things didn’t come off. | 6 |
22 | GCS | Booted a ripping goal after a great attacking run, though not a major influence on the evening. | 3 |
23 | Frem | Speed off half back was noticeable. Game goes up a cog when he has the footy. | 6 |
EF | Syd | Irishman had a shocker. Made mistakes and will learn from them. Good season from him. | 3 |
2016 Season
1 | Played in VFL trial against Footscray. | ||
2 | Played in VFL trial against Richmond. | ||
3 | VFL | Three goals and was the team’s best player. Clean hands and creativity a key. | – |
4 | Geel | Never a factor throughout. Six kicks but couldn’t get the ball in dangerous positions. | 2 |
5 | Coll | Overwhelmed by the big occasion and struggled to get involved. | 2 |
6 | Senior emergency. | ||
7 | VFL | Kicked a critical goal in the final term and rated among the Dons’ best. | – |
8 | NM | Couple of glimpses but for the most part he was quiet. Three inside-50s and no goals. | 4 |
9 | StK | Hardly had a sniff. Only three touches. | 1 |
10 | VFL | Got a bit of the ball but didn’t have normal burst in the front half. | – |
11 | Bye. | ||
12 | VFL | One goal, four tackles and a handful of contested possessions. Ok without starring. | – |
13 | VFL | Workrate between the arcs huge – four inside-50s and six tackles. | – |
14 | VFL | Bye. | – |
15 | VFL | Seven inside-50s and three score assists. Dangerous forward of centre. | – |
16 | StK | Made a few dashes in defence, but wasn’t a big factor. | 3 |
17 | Rich | Used in defence early but drifted higher up the ground as the game wore on. OK. | 5 |
18 | Bris | Used in back half again and had some good moments but still learning. | 4 |
19 | Adel | Hit the post from close range from a set shot in the third term. | 5 |
20 | Geel | Couple of dashing runs and a great goal in third term. Worth persisting with. | 5 |
21 | GCS | Good enthusiasm off back of square but had some iffy moments. Pushed forward for two goals. | 6 |
22 | WB | In defence kept pace with Dahlhaus most of the time. | 5 |
23 | Carl | Ran hard to rack up 16 uncontested possessions. Decision-making still suspect. | 5 |
2015 Season

5 | VFL | OK in a variety of roles as he continues to learn the game. | – |

22 | Rich | A goal with his first kick then unsighted. Subbed out in third term. | 2 |
23 | Coll | Found some space to kick a goal. Set shot goalkicking needs serious work. | 4 |
