Played for : Melbourne

1		Played in Casey intra-club.

3	NM	Strong second term across half back with run and willingness to take opposition on.	6
4	Coll	Steady without starring playing in defence. Worked up the field for five inside-50s.	6
5	Rich	Steady from the back end and apart from one mistake he did his bit. Used ball to advantage.	6
6	StK	Started on Ross. Tried hard to get something going late in game, but to no avail.	4

2015 Season

Played for : Melbourne

1	GCS	Capped 200th game with steadying goal in final term. Dash was valuable.	6
2	GWS	Wasn’t able to impact the contest as he would have liked.	4
3	Adel	Has reinvigorated his career with the move to Melbourne.	7
4	Rich	Not big numbers but sat behind ball and provided safety net when Dees had lead.	5
5	Frem	Went to Fyfe after his hot start and reined him in a touch.	5
6	Syd	Battled on but wasn’t able to get his typical running game going.	5
7	Haw	Tried to take game on late, but no influence for three quarters.	4
8	WB	Quiet throughout. Strange really given the state of the game.	3
9	Port	Nice early goal and was involved heavily early.	5
10	Coll	Rose to occasion against former side but faded as the game dragged on.	6
11	StK	Tried to take the game on, but fumbled and constantly ran into trouble.	4
12	Geel	A bit steadier than recent weeks and defended well when Cats’ made their run.	6
14		Foot.
15	Ess	A few bright moments but overall pretty mundane stuff.	4
16	Bris	Solid in back half without providing customary slashing run.	5
17	StK	Bobbed up a bit early but then had tapering impact.	5
18	Coll	Started on Sidebottom but didn’t have as much impact as he would have liked.	5
19	NM	Hardly touched the ball. Form has to be a major concern.	2
20	WB	Season is dragging out to a disappointing end. Had a rough month.	3
21	Carl	Fumbled everything he touches then off injured.	1
22		Ankle.
23		Ankle.

2014 Season

Played for : Collingwood

1	Frem	Dockers cramped him well in first half then he lifted to end with 23 touches but impact minimal.	5
2	Syd	Guilty of some clangers but had a say in the outcome with his drive.	6
3	Geel	Fine game. Played positive footy all night and continually took Cats on.	7
4	Rich	Back to his energetic best on a wing and mopping up in the back 50.	8
5	NM	Provided constant drive. Led side with seven inside-50s and added a goal.	7
6	Ess	Provided something from half-back/wing but not his best game.	6
7	Carl	Hardly sighted first half and continued with low-key last hour.	3
9	Adel	Scored team’s first goal and handy first half. On back foot thereafter.	6
10	WCE	Displayed run and dash at times but numbers may overstate influence.	6
11	StK	Slowish start but then ran hard and got on his own to have influence.	7
12	Melb	Run and link work through the middle helped create something for others.	7
13	WB	Carried the ball but also won the contested possessions that he needed to.	7
14	Haw	Failed to give his side much drive off half back.	4
15	Carl	Run and link play off a wing a feature. Six inside-50s and 11 handball receives.	7
16	GCS	Usual dash off half back and good rebound from defence.	5
17	Ess	Broke clear on rare occasions, but kept running to try to make space.	5
18	Adel	Pies’ best. Some of his work got the team back into the game.	8
19	Port	Creative again around footy and set up goals with good vision going forward.	7
20	WCE	One of quieter games for the year. Limited touches and wasteful at times.	4
21	Bris	Only three kicks and very little run on a night his club needed him.	1
22		Thigh.
23	Haw	Tried hard but without support cast many efforts proved futile.	5

1	NM	Started on wing. Big first quarter and kept going.	7
2	Carl	Continued to give drive off a wing. Plenty of fumbles and rushed disposals though.	6
3	Haw	Infrequently sighted despite stats recording 17 disposals. Needed to do more.	4
4	Rich	Used his dash to create play and brilliant with his ball use.	8
5	Ess	Stout first half then faded like your sister’s jeans in the second (four disposals).	4
6	StK	Superb again off a wing – six inside-50s, five tackles and five clearances.	8
7	Frem	Serviceable outing and gave some run at times off half back and a wing.	6
8	Geel	Brilliant first half helped set the tone and finished work off in final term.	8
9	Syd	Started on Jetta, blitzed early then copped a pasting from Goodes.	6
10	Bris	Good numbers although kicking slightly wayward at times.	6
11	Melb	Provided great link from a wing and his run and carry was a factor all day.	6
12	WB	Ran hard and often to create attacking moves.	7
14	Port	One of the few players with the acceleration to be able to break up play.	6
15		Ankle.
16		Ankle.
17		Ankle.

2012 Season

Played for : Collingwood

1	Haw	Slow start on Rioli who got away. Lifted later but far from his best game.	4
2	Rich	Started on King. Bit flat in second term but otherwise strong.	6
3	Carl	Betts toweled him for five goals. Another out of form Pie.	4
4	Port	Rock solid as loose back and probably Pies’ best. Error-free performance.	8
5	Ess	Loose first half and relished it but Monfries went to him and quelled.	5
6	WB	Higgins made him accountable and he was quiet until final term.	4
7	Bris	Lively and often the link man out of the backline. Good return to form.	7
8	Geel	Had to mind Motlop, which he did, but caught out of position at times.	5
9	Adel	Played as a loose man in defence and did well. Kicking efficiency down.	6
10	GCS	Hardly sighted because the ball was never down there. Did what he had to.	6
11	Melb	Nullified Sylvia well in first half and kept it going. Not much in terms of run.	5
13	WCE	Outpointed overhead at times but provided some line-breaking dash.	6
14	Frem	Intriguing battle with Ballantyne whom he kept scoreless.	6
15	Carl	Betts’s pace and elusiveness troubled him on a night he will want to forget.	3
16	Geel	Provided run (seven rebound 50s) in his 150th game.	7
17	Haw	Hawks successfully restricted his run and rebound all match.	5
19	StK	Niggled Milne all night and awarded controversial free at the death. OK.	5
20	Syd	Had hands full all night, spending time on Hannebery, McVeigh and Goodes.	5
21	NM	Gave away two (soft) free kicks that resulted in goals to opponent Thomas.	5
22	WCE	Naitanui treated him with contempt once, shoved him and ran off. Hard night.	4
23	Ess	Monfries troubled him early then he settled.	6
QF	Haw	Didn’t get his usual run going in first half.	4
SF	WCE	Kicked Pies’ first goal and was handy but didn’t attack as much as he can.	5
PF	Syd	Took the game on and showed intent that others could have copied.	7
