2017 NAB Cup:  

2017 Season

1		–
2		–
3		–
4		Senior emergency.
5	WCE	Fumbly at times, but grew into the game and was a handy contributor.	4
6	StK	Struggled to get his hands on the ball. Kicked a nice goal in final term, but that was about it.	3
7	Melb	Inexperienced defender gave away silly 50 that gave away a goal but did mix in some good stuff as a defender. Battled hard.	4
8	Bris	Youngster won plenty of the footy. Looked comfortable on the wing and across halfback with 21 disposals.	6
9	Coll	Took hard knock in third term but continued to battle it out (eight tackles).	5
10	Syd	Okay throughout and another young Hawk who stood tall when needed.	5
11	Port	Under more pressure than a one-armed paper boy but has to keep playing to gain more experience. Not the worst.	4
12	GCS	Not sighted in a defence that was under the pump all day. He did what he could and just needs to get more games in.	4
13		Bye.
14	Adel	Spent all game man handling Sloane, borderline fair or outside the spirit of the game.	6
15	Coll	Tagged Pendlebury early and did the job fantastically well. Released later and ended with 26 disposals. Great game.	8
16	GWS	Ran with Shiels for a quarter. Ended with 17 touches – 14 contested. Okay.	6
17	Geel	Tagged Selwood in what was a great learning experience. Ended with 20 disposals and team-high 10 tackles.	6
18	Frem	Good job tagging Fyfe. Kicked two goals.	7
19	Syd	Completely shut down Kennedy in the midfield, copped an early knock but was brilliant.	8
20	Rich	Had job on Martin when he played midfield. Tough ask given flow of the game but battled away as best he could.	6
21	NM	Keeps getting the big jobs and delivering. Had 20 disposals and blanketed Cunnington.	6
22	Carl	Moved off Murphy and failed to have an impact in the midfield. Average night.	4
23	WB	Quiet in the midfield with just 11 effective disposals. Great learning year for the emerging Hawk.	4

2016 Season

7	Rich	Contributed a bit and was handy.	4

11	Melb	Good start in and around the stoppages and did some good things overall.	5
13	NM	Had his work cut out against rampaging North forwards early.	4
