2017 Digest: Trained all summer up forward. Two pre-season games to date have netted one goal. Big gamble given his age.
2017 NAB Cup:
2017 Season
1 | Frem | Struggled up forward and ended night in defence. Only real negative to come out of the game given his struggles up forward. | 3 |
2 | NM | Couldn’t get near it up forward then looked like an All Australian defender after being switched midway through third term. | 4 |
3 | Melb | Time has come for coach to put his hand up and acknowledge his experiment has failed. Three kicks and no shots at goal. | 1 |
4 | Haw | Played forward and actually got around the ball. When he went back to defence the Cats’ started to pour on goals. | 5 |
5 | StK | Played forward again and while kicked first goal of the season that was only highlight. Spent time down back again. | 3 |
6 | Coll | Couple of nice marks but just looks like a different player when he returns to defence. One goal in first term. | 4 |
7 | GCS | Played defence all night for first time this year and was steady without starring. Did get loose on Wright at times. | 5 |
8 | Ess | Played down back but struggled. Looks a little slow and reaction times are well off. Not sure what next move is. | 3 |
9 | WB | Took right weeks but hit straps with five goals, including three in second term. Didn’t touch ball in first and third terms. | 8 |
10 | Port | Played forward again but struggled to get near it. Two kicks, no goals and copped a finger in the eye. | 2 |
11 | Adel | Two goals up forward then spent time in defence in second half. Much better than previous week. | 5 |
12 | Bye. | ||
13 | WCE | Kicked two goals but for the most part wasn’t able to get away from the Eagle defence. | 5 |
14 | Frem | Struggled up forward but looked every bit the All Australian defender when switched back after half time. | 5 |
15 | GWS | Played defence all night and looked like an All Australian defender. Has to play there for remainder of the year. | 7 |
16 | Bris | Ice cool as usual and used the ball well coming out of defence. | 6 |
17 | Haw | Played down back and was again solid, particularly early when the game was hot. | 7 |
18 | Adel | Played down back on Jenkins at times and then thrown forward to kick five second-half goals. | 8 |
19 | Carl | Rotated forward and back. Might want to revisit slipping some ham into the sock. Better late when playing down back. | 4 |
20 | Syd | Started forward but was quickly pushed into defence. Didn’t matter what end he couldn’t get near it. | 2 |
21 | Rich | The match winner. Torched the premier defender in the game and hit the scoreboard. | 9 |
22 | Coll | Did not touch the ball in the first term and theme continued throughout. Only goal came from a free kick. | 2 |
23 | GWS | After conceding the first goal of the game to Patton he monstered the young Giant. Great game. | 7 |
QF | Rich | Beaten by Rance. If Cats thought that match-up was going to work twice in a month they were sadly mistaken; 4 eff disposals. | 1 |
SF | Syd | Hammered Franklin in what was a crucial match-up win for the team. Huge game and has to play defence next week. | 8 |
PF | Adel | Used in defence on Walker and defensively ok but very little going the other way. | 5 |
2016 Season
1 | Haw | Took resting ruckman down back and defensively stout. | 5 |
2 | GWS | Battled Lobb at times but didn’t get much happening offensively for the team. | 4 |
3 | Bris | Held sway down back and always on the last line of defence. Steady and sure. | 5 |
4 | Ess | Read play pretty well and proved somewhat of a stumbling block for Bombers. | 4 |
5 | Port | Defensively stout and among the Cats’ best. Got into the right spots. | 8 |
6 | GCS | Back to best. Controlled half back and hit target with every one of his disposals. | 7 |
7 | WCE | Got in the way down back. Defended strongly and tackled brilliantly (eight). | 6 |
8 | Adel | Kept Jenkins to two goals in another steady defensive effort. | 6 |
9 | Coll | Went to Cox when he was forward and OK in that role. Tried to get across third-man style. | 4 |
10 | Carl | Took resting ruckman and intercepted a few balls but wasn’t at his controlling best. | 4 |
11 | GWS | Did a number of Cameron whom he kept goalless. Key match-up victory. | 8 |
12 | NM | For second week in a row he was in the best. Beat Waite and marked everything. | 7 |
13 | WB | Match-up for Stringer and kept him goalless as strong run of form continues. | 7 |
14 | StK | Solid again down back. Saved goals with his tackling and battled Membrey. | 7 |
16 | Syd | Had task on Rohan for long periods and defensively OK. Rebound limited. | 5 |
17 | Frem | Five marks and handy ball use from the back half. One courageous mark. | 6 |
18 | Adel | Jenkins kicked three goals on him in first half but then he got on top. | 4 |
19 | WB | Had Stringer covered and that was his main priority. Role was important. | 7 |
20 | Ess | Hit target with every one of his 23 disposals and took 13 marks. Super. | 8 |
21 | Rich | Celebrated gamer 200 by beating Riewoldt then went forward to kick late goal. | 5 |
22 | Bris | Had the better of Walker and that was his main focus. Eight marks. | 7 |
23 | Melb | Went to Watts and destroyed him. Grabbed nine marks and kicked a goal. | 8 |
QF | Haw | Made some uncharacteristic mistakes and went to ground at times. | 3 |
PF | Syd | Struggled down back and thrown forward to kick two goals in second half. | 3 |
2015 Season
1 | Haw | Had Roughead who got off the chain as the ball came in sideways. | 4 |
2 | Frem | Among the better players. Towelled Clarke and grabbed seven marks. | 6 |
3 | GCS | Provided some drive from back half and positioned himself well in defence. | 7 |
4 | NM | Shadowed Waite for large parts and did that reasonably well. | 6 |
5 | Rich | Controlled half back with aplomb– 13 marks and great ball use. | 8 |
6 | Coll | A thorn in the side of the Magpies all night. | 7 |
7 | Syd | Tried to free himself by playing on third tall. OK but didn’t star. | 5 |
8 | Carl | Had Casboult covered (three marks) and repelled when he had to. | 7 |
9 | WCE | Had task on Kennedy and in the end well beaten. | 4 |
10 | Ess | Clearly best on ground. Hammered Carlisle and won a mountain of footy. | 9 |
11 | Port | Took five contested marks and some telling possessions at half back. | 7 |
12 | Melb | Did what he could but another who had an off day. | 4 |
15 | NM | Struggled again. Out of form or injured? Not the same player he was. | 2 |
16 | WB | Redpath grabbed a few marks but generally solid at half back. | 6 |
17 | GWS | Kept Cameron goalless in a pivotal match-up for the Cats. | 8 |
18 | Bris | Seven marks and some a heady presence in the back half all afternoon. | 7 |
19 | Syd | Had Tippett covered and got off other opponents to take 13 marks. | 7 |
20 | Haw | Tried to take Puopolo so he could be intercept player but it didn’t work. Quiet. | 3 |
21 | StK | With Riewoldt on a wing he lacked a a match-up and looked lost. | 4 |
22 | Coll | Two kicks first half. Form has been well short of best for most of the year. | 3 |
23 | Adel | Kept Walker to one goal and little or no influence on the game. | 7 |
2014 Season
1 | Adel | After bright start Crows successfully played away from him. Good last term. | 5 |
2 | Bris | Did well nullifying Brown and had nine of his 11 disposals after half time. | 5 |

4 | WCE | Kept Kennedy to one goal and three marks in a fine defensive display. | 7 |
5 | Haw | Played on Roughead and did the job brilliantly. | 7 |
6 | Port | Switched forward and back but had a howler. | 1 |
7 | Rich | Gave Vickery a bath. Grabbed 13 marks and bounced back after last week. | 8 |

13 | StK | Had Riewoldt covered early then pushed forward without success. Rested late. | 5 |
14 | Knee. | ||
15 | Ess | Up and down on Carlisle, copped knee to head in third term. Shaky then on. | 4 |
16 | WB | Celebrated game 150 with perhaps best effort of year – 11 marks. | 8 |
17 | Melb | Towelled Dawes and looks to be finding form coming into back end of year. | 8 |

19 | NM | Black couldn’t get away from him and drifted forward for a goal. | 7 |
20 | Frem | Took more marks than 15 Dockers had possessions – 19 (four contested). | 9 |
21 | Carl | Had the better White and Casboult. Four rebound 50s, eight marks. | 7 |
22 | Haw | Cat and mouse early as Hawks tried to match him up. Not influential. | 4 |
23 | Bris | First player to manage himself during the game. Didn’t even take a mark. | 2 |
QF | Haw | Had Roughead and defensively good but little other way. Spent time forward. | 4 |

PF | – | ||
GF | – |
2013 Season
1 | Haw | Superb on Roughead and among the best all day. | 8 |
2 | NM | Had the better of Hansen and then put to Petrie and nullified him. | 6 |

5 | WB | Relished chance to play 90% forward and kicked five goals. Five contested marks. | 8 |
6 | Rich | Matched to Vickery before he went off and OK. Subdued offensively. | 5 |
7 | Ess | Battled Gumbleton/Hurley and had them covered. Played a role. | 6 |
8 | Coll | Took Lynch for most part and was handy although didn’t dominate like he can. | 5 |
9 | Port | Massive. Repelled everything that came his way and was a key to the victory. | 8 |
10 | GCS | Stout down back with four contested marks. Had Gorringe covered when on him | 6 |
11 | Rested. | ||

23 | Bris | Used forward and back and did enough without setting game alight. | 5 |

PF | Haw | Kept Roughead out of the game completely in a final blanket job. | 8 |
GF |
2012 Season

11 | Carl | OK in defence but noticeable when pushed forward late to grab some marks. | 6 |
