Harry CUNNINGHAM

2017 Digest:   Plays a handy role at whatever level he is playing at, but needs to cement his place this year with pressure getting hotter.

2017 NAB Cup:  

2017 Season

1	Port	Struggled to get his hands to leather. One round in and best guess is still a big gap between best and worst.	3
2	WB	Struggled. Eight effective disposals not enough playing wing/half forward.	2
3	NEAFL	Impacted the contest with 19 touches and two goals. Drove the ball inside-50 on eight occasions.	–
4	WCE	Got Swans’ first major and worked hard in the forward half and applied good defensive pressure.	5
5	GWS	Tackled hard but wasn’t a big factor in the game.	4
6	Carl	Used as a rebounding defender and okay with 16 possessions but has played better games. Didn’t hurt Blues.	4
7	Bris	Shoulder problem in first term but returned to boot two goals. Made a few poor choices streaming forward.	5
8	NM	Worked hard as usual but was only a minor contributor.	3
9	StK	Saints couldn’t stop him running hard through the middle in second term and setting up attacking moves.	6

20	NEAFL	Worked hard throughout for his 25 possessions.	–
21	NEAFL	Used the ball well. Had 20 possessions and was always a threat.	–
22	NEAFL	Played his part with 21 touches and four inside 50s.	–
23	Carl	Showed some toe in the last term but probably failed to do enough to hold a spot for the first final. Time will tell.	4
EF	Ess	Late inclusion for Melican didn’t star but did enough to make it tough to tip him out; 19 disposals.	5
SF	Geel	Looked as unsure as a hungry baby in a topless bar and got no love at any stage. Touched it 10 times.	3

2016 Season

1	Coll	Chipped in with two goals in rout. Handy contributor on the night.	5
2	Carl	Floated in out and out and was a threat up forward and through the middle.	6
3	GWS	Failed to hurt the Giants in attack with only three kicks.	3
4	Adel	Bobbed up for first goal of the game, hardly sighted afterwards.	5
5	WCE	Not a big game. Rolled ankle second term but kept going.	3
6	Bris	Three score assist added value to his 13 disposals.	5
7	Ess	Fought hard after a slow start and was clean with ball use.	3
8	Rich	Tackled hard but unable to exert any real influence on the game with ball in hand.	4
9	Haw	Solid citizen across four quarters.	6
10	NM	Key goal at start of third term was one of just two kicks, but linked well at stages.	4
11	GCS	Played a defensive forward role and did it well.	4
12	GWS	Couldn’t get into the game after half time, collecting just four disposals.	3
13	NEAFL	Kicked a goal and played steady role in rare reserves outing.	–
14	NEAFL	Bye.	–
15	NEAFL	Showed class in midfield with 12 contested possessions and nine tackles.	–
16	NEAFL	Strong game with seven clearances and seven inside-50s to go with 23 touches.	–
17	NEAFL	Played a solid inside/outside game. Laid a team-high eight tackles.	–
18	Carl	Solid without being spectacular down back.	4
19	Frem	Not a stand out but had plenty of the ball.	5
20	Port	Very good contributor until tweaking his knee and being put on ice.	6
21	StK	Handy without starring.	5
22	NM	Limited impact in defensive half.	3
23	Rich	Struggled to get involved down back – just two touches in first half.	3
QF	VFL	Had an impact at stages, but was sloppy with his disposals going at just 47%.	–

10	GCS	Two goals from limited opportunities.	3
11	NM	Courageous mark and a goal a highlight of an industrious game.	7
13	Rich	Made Houli honest at half forward but unable to capitalise on chances.	5
14	Port	Sub. On early to replace Rohan and quiet until sealed game with late goal.	3
15	Bris	Sub. Thrown in for final term but struggled. Might need run in NEAFL.	1
16	Haw	Not the sub this week but didn’t take advantage of the opportunity.	3
17	WCE	Powerless to impact the flow of the game despite grabbing a few touches.	4
18	Adel	Strong performer and ran hard.	6
19	Geel	Unable to get any touches that really hurt Cats. Two inside-50s, no goals.	4
20	Coll	Handy though not outstanding.	5
21	GWS	Dangerous in attack with three goals and was afforded too much space.	7
22	StK	Picked up by Geary and did a few nice things in attack.	5

7	Bris	Kicked a goal early on but overall fairly quiet compared to his teammates.	5
8	Haw	Couldn’t get into the game at all from half forward and never a factor.	2
9	Ess	Drifted out of the game after some eye-catching possessions early.	4
