Heath SCOTLAND

2014 Digest:   Good result for player and club to re-draft him as a rookie. At 33 he still has plenty to offer on the wing, but may find it hard to stave off younger contenders.

2014 NAB Cup:   Started on wing in final practice game but faces a stiff test to fend off contenders.

2013 Season

Played for : Carlton

1		Suspended.
2	VFL	Cruised across half back and on a wing. Good game.	–
3	Geel	Had eight of his 19 disposals in first half and kicked a nice snap goal. Faded.	6
4	WCE	Racked up the stats all night and was a handy contributor around the ground.	7
5	Adel	Ran his backside off and used it well with 26 touches and a fabulous goal.	7
6	Melb	Swept around half back as he’s done for years. Provided run.	6
7	StK	Not as prolific as he can be across wing/half back but kept battling.	5
8	Port	Two big goals in the third term in his 250th game. Steady as usual.	6
9	Bris	Consistent game and rarely wasted a possession.	6
10	GWS	Made some uncustomary errors but a good link out of defence.	5
11	Ess	Didn’t get to celebrate a win in 200th game. Deserved better.	5
12	Haw	Mopped up as he usually does and won plenty of ball. Only one inside-50.	6
14	Syd	Played on a wing and at half back. Solid enough but kicking lacked usual incisiveness.	5
15		Abductor.
16	StK	Solid and unspectacular.	5
17	NM	Struggling to catch back up with the speed of the game.	4
18	GCS	Set up the play across half back and the midfield.	8
19	Frem	Continued to work hard even after back knock. Took 12 marks at half back.	7
20	WB	Worked back from a wing to be a spare and did a good job overall.	7
21	Rich	Used in in the middle and had seven inside 50s.	6
22	Ess	Regularly kicked the ball on his left suggesting he might be carrying an injury.	6
23		Quad.
EF	Rich	Very quiet on Grigg in first half. Much better in later stages.	5
SF	Syd	Solid early then tapered.	5

2012 Season

Played for : Carlton

1	Rich	On Grigg at start and worked hard all night.	6
2	Bris	Not a big influence until late when he came in for the kill.	7
3	Coll	Everywhere in first half and finished with 33 disposals.	8
4	Ess	Racked up 28 possessions and used the ball well.	7
5	Frem	Ball use again key to his influence off wing – 28 of 30 touches hit target.	9
6	GWS	Ran hard like he always does. Impact not as noticeable as previous weeks.	6
7	StK	Typical sort of game but not enormously damaging by foot.	6
8	Adel	Won team-high disposal numbers but only two inside 50s tells a tale.	6
9	Melb	Got a lot of his ball backward of centre but used it well as he always does.	7
10	Port	Seven clearances and four inside 50s for the ball magnet.	6
12	WCE	Slotted back in across half back to play customary sweeping role.	7
14	Haw	Strong first half. Quiet in third, but never conceded an inch.	6
15	Coll	Trademark solid display. Efficiency as always the key to his game.	7
16	NM	Usual honest display on wing.	6
17	WB	Mopped up time and time again across half-back. Game high 31 possessions.	7
18	Rich	Hard working game without anything flashy.	6
19	Syd	With Hannebery on wing at start. Usual honest contribution.	6

21	Ess	Limited stats with Monfries playing a role on him.	4
22	GCS	Good run from defence by the veteran. Superb under pressure.	8
23	StK	Honest and consistent as ever and never stopped trying.	6
