2017 Digest:   Staking a claim for Round 1. Impressed coaches and teammates in pre-season, but does need to go up a level.

2017 NAB Cup:  

2017 Season

Played for : Collingwood

1	WB	Went to Stringer and Cloke at times and contested every issue. Looks an upgrade on the departed Brown.	4
2	Rich	No job too difficult is his motto. Left foot is safe and he gets far more involved in attack than his departed predecessor Brown.	6
3	Syd	Humungous task on Buddy in his 250th. In his wildest dreams, he wouldn’t have thought he could keep him goalless. He did.	8
4	StK	Took Membrey/Bruce and continued to add to his claims as Magpie recruit of the year.	5
5	Ess	Harried Daniher but the big Don got his tail up when rucking and became the match-winner.	4
6	Geel	Had job on Taylor and did reasonably well. Did get caught a few times in the back half but will learn from experience.	5
7		Rested.
8	GWS	A power of trouble with Cameron and had to be moved to Lobb. Nightmare first half as five goals kicked on him but fought it out.	3
9	Haw	Conceded three to Sicily in first half. After impressing on arrival, now enduring a nightmare spell.	3
10		Bye.
11	VFL	Improved as the game wore on down back and was solid when it mattered late.	–
12	VFL	Had better days. Will look to bounce back in coming weeks.	–
13		Bye.
14	VFL	Held up well in the back half and won a bit of his own footy.	–
15	VFL	Part of a defence that kept the Dogs at arms length. Had 18 touches too.	–
16	VFL	Strong game in defence to help keep the Cats at bay.	–
17	VFL	A shell of the player he was at the start of the year. Poor defensively and spot on list suddenly seems in question.	–
18	VFL	Better than last week, which wasn't hard. Showed aggression in the last term to stand up for a teammate, but it didn't kill that contest.	–
19		Concussion.
20	VFL	Okay game in defence to help keep the Bees at bay.	–
21		Hamstring.
22		Hamstring.
23		Hamstring.

5	NEAFL	Superb game in the back half. Won plenty of ball and defended stoutly.	–
6	Geel	Had to go to Hawkins at one stage in a mismatch. Good experience but not one he’ll want again.	3
7	Melb	Took some good intercept marks in defence and was OK.	6
8	GWS	Late inclusion for Wright and produced a solid rebounding effort out of defence.	4
9	Adel	Did OK in defence without starring.	4
10	WCE	West Coast’s forwards were all too good for the Suns. Tough job.	3
11	NEAFL	Had hands full in defence with Swans forwards.	–

14	NEAFL	Steady down back with an equal team-high four rebounds.	–
15	NEAFL	Mopped up well at times down back and defended stoutly.	–
