5 | VFL | Super on return from injury. 34 disposals, eight marks, seven tackles and one goal. Dons' can't wait to have him back. | – |
6 | VFL | Impressed again through midfield. 27 touches, seven inside-50s and nine tackles. Ready to go. | – |
7 | Frem | Not a great return from injury. Will be better for the run. | 3 |
8 | Geel | Had seven inside-50s but wasn’t a huge factor despite 18 touches. Should get better with more game time. | 4 |
9 | WCE | Had 20 touches, but still looks to be working his way back to best form. | 5 |
10 | Rich | Played in the midfield. Started pretty well but in the end he was he folded like a Chinese deckchair. | 4 |
11 | GWS | Kicked a ripper goal and did some good things, bit still off the pace compared with his pre-suspension form. | 5 |
12 | Port | Still looks rusty…which is a concern as he’s been back for a few weeks now. | 3 |
13 | Bye. | ||
14 | VFL | Best game of the season. 32 possessions, 12 clearances and three score assists. | – |
15 | VFL | Massive with 35 touches, seven clearances and nine inside 50s. Recall looming. | – |
16 | Coll | Wingman grabbed a lazy 31 disposals, added five clearances, five inside-50s and four tackles. Impressive running. | 8 |
17 | StK | Honest game across the four quarters. | 6 |
18 | NM | Averaging more than 20 disposals in his last three matches. Three quarters of his touches were contested too. | 6 |
19 | WB | Took a while to get going, but had an impact in third term. Hampered by hammy issue late. | 5 |
20 | Carl | Couple of clangers mixed through some handy stuff in his 22 possessions. Five inside-50s and six tackles. | 6 |
21 | Adel | Strong at the contest in first quarter then dropped out of the play for a while before fighting back. | 5 |
22 | GCS | Roamed the wing and pushed forward, though ball use was not great (53% efficiency). | 4 |
23 | Frem | Went to Fyfe at stages and battled a bit. Had a sore shoulder in final term. | 4 |
EF | Syd | Great goal in second term but that’s where the fun stopped. Struggled in all phases of the game. | 3 |

2014 Season
1 | NM | Strong worker and runner inside and outside packs. | 7 |
2 | Haw | Inefficiency dragged effectiveness down but he kept trying – five inside-50s. | 6 |
3 | Carl | Did well in midfield as the Bombers ran riot. | 6 |
4 | Ill. | ||
5 | StK | Strong ball winner who was good but had quiet second term. | 6 |
6 | Hamstring. | ||
7 | Hamstring. | ||
8 | Hamstring. | ||
9 | Syd | Had 18 possessions but effectiveness was well down. | 5 |
11 | Rich | Linked well between defence and attack and long kicking was a feature. | 6 |
12 | GWS | Sub came on late in third term and then foolishly elbowed Smith. Had some touches. | 2 |
13 | Melb | Won the ball well but didn’t always make the best decision with where to kick it. | 5 |
14 | Adel | His long kicking regularly came in handy at important moments. | 7 |
15 | Geel | Even performance from a wing highlighted by four inside-50s and good ball use. | 6 |
16 | Port | Eight tackles, eight clearances and a big goal in the second term. | 7 |
17 | Coll | Physical strength was an asset in midfield. Helped Essendon gain the edge. | 6 |
18 | WB | Five inside-50s, eight clearances and great ball use a feature in the midfield. | 7 |
19 | Syd | Solid contributor and kicked nice goal. | 5 |
20 | Rich | Didn’t hurt Tigers forward of centre with skills. One inside-50 confirms as much. | 5 |
21 | WCE | Had 20 touches to half time which was bonanza. Tailed off in second half. | 6 |
22 | GCS | Won some key ball from half-back/wing and used it well. Steady performance. | 7 |
23 | Ill. | ||
EF | NM | Quiet early but had a better second half. | 6 |

2013 Season
1 | Adel | Becoming the player Essendon has expected him to be. | 3 |
2 | Melb | Provided a good link between defence and attack on a wing. | 6 |
3 | Frem | Put on pressure and made himself useful. | 5 |
4 | StK | Looked strong and sharp coming out from defence. | 6 |
5 | Coll | Came on as the sub and got involved to a degree. | 3 |
6 | GWS | Found space after half time and provided plenty of run and carry. | 6 |
7 | Geel | Kicked two goals, including one cracker from 55m. OK off a wing. | 6 |
8 | Bris | Kicked one huge goal but that was his only highlight. Went missing at times. | 5 |
9 | Rich | Linked up nicely through midfield and penetrated well with his left boot. | 5 |
10 | Syd | Had defensive jobs and made a useful input. | 5 |
11 | Carl | Handy at times. Matched with Lucas at times. | 5 |
12 | GCS | Played a good link role and used his long left boot to advantage. Solid. | 6 |
14 | WCE | Sub came on in third quarter and did a couple of things. | 2 |
15 | Port | Linked well through midfield but wayward in front of goal with 0.3. | 6 |
16 | WB | One nice goal but never really a factor and ball unusually off the mark. | 3 |
17 | GWS | Covered all parts of the ground and put in a top-notch shift. | 7 |
18 | Haw | Long goal early and tried hard (nine cont poss) but impact limited. | 5 |
19 | Coll | Not the worst. Had team-high five inside-50s and seven cont poss. Trier. | 6 |
20 | WCE | In and out of the ball and bombed away a bit often when some composure was needed. | 4 |
21 | Rested. | ||
22 | Carl | A brilliant last quarter from the penetrating left footer. | 6 |
23 | Ill. | ||

2012 Season
1 | NM | Stood out on defence in first half but then his game tailed off. | 5 |
2 | Port | Had the seven disposals but then injured hamstring late and was done. | 3 |
10 | VFL | Solid game and got more match fitness under his belt. | – |
11 | Syd | Sub brought on for Bellchambers at half time and tried hard to spark team. | 5 |
13 | Frem | Had 28 touches, was hard, won clearances and covered heaps of ground. | 7 |
14 | WB | Low key effort. | 4 |
15 | StK | Started OK on wing but shifted and had reduced input. | 4 |
16 | Port | Seven inside 50s and a long bomb goal from the centre clearance. | 7 |
17 | Geel | Showing a bit more but needs to use the ball better. | 4 |
23 | Coll | Had a bigger involvement in second half. | 5 |
