Daniel GIANSIRACUSA

2014 Digest:   Veteran surprised some by signing on for another season but after kicking 36 goals last year it appears a good move. A clinical finisher who knows where the goals are and can work well into space. Nursed through pre-season but stepped out against Fremantle to tune his form for the opener.

2014 NAB Cup:   Got through umpteenth pre-season. Played first match against Dockers and was typically proficient.

1	Bris	Plenty of movement in attack. Kicked tree and created more.	5
2	Frem	No influence at all with Spurr among others keeping him under wraps.	3
3	Rich	Victim of the Dogs’ lack of forward entries. Just the one goals.	3
4	Adel	Subbed out in the third term due to poor form.	2
5		Shoulder.
6		Shoulder.
7	NM	Kicked a couple of goals in first term in big start then faded. Still kicked four goals.	7
8	GCS	Roamed up the ground but probably needed deeper in attack.	5
9	StK	Sub came on in third term and played role perfectly with goal and involvement.	3

13	Rich	Again used as the sub and came on late for some handy touches.	2

21	Adel	Contributed two goals in a great battle against Brown. Played a part.	5
22	Bris	Missed some chances that proved costly in the wash-up. Still kicked two goals.	5
