Jack CRISP

2017 Digest:   Still quite young and a great size (190cm, 89kg) for the midfield. Rarely mentioned in same breath as others but is very handy.

2017 NAB Cup:  

2017 Season

1	WB	Just a game from the second-string mid: often under pressure with the ball.	4
2	Rich	Struggling for clean possession and often looks as though he miskicks the ball.	3
3	Syd	Rotated through midfield and was given a few different roles, but played his part when required.	6
4	StK	Second-tier mid came off the bench to put in his usual honest display (19 possessions, a goal).	5
5	Ess	Relished the slippery scrap and won 27 possessions, breaking out of the stoppages on occasions.	6
6	Geel	Got under guard of Cats to grab 25 disposals. Importantly 21 of them hit the target given efficiency is his issue.	7
7	Carl	Nine effective disposals, three score involvements – not really enough from the second-rotation mid.	4
8	GWS	Effective target as a tall midfielder, and a reliable source of drive.	6
9	Haw	Barely sighted in first half after starting on the bench, but tackled well and turned in a fine last quarter.	5
10	Bris	Five inside-50s to go with 22 touches a handy afternoon. Able to link well at times off half back and through the wing.	7
11	Frem	Had high numbers and was more outside and running with the ball.	6
12	Melb	Spent time down back on Garlett/Petracca among others. Unable to impact flow of contest offensively.	4
13		Bye.
14	Port	Used across half back and won his share of ball (27 disposals). Impact not commensurate with stat totals.	5
15	Haw	Played up ground early before heading back into defence to play a deeper role. Certainly not a noteworthy performance.	4
16	Ess	Probably on of the better Pies. Defended well one-on-one and was able to win 22 possessions. Steady.	7
17	GCS	Used the ball well and worked hard defensively with seven tackles.	6
18	WCE	Might have found his best role off the halfback line. Strong effort.	7
19	Adel	Didn’t find a lot of the footy but was good with the footy in hand.	4
20	NM	Started proficiently in first term and was able to maintain that pace. Relishing new role off halfback.	7
21	Port	Kicking was a little off but was more than effective with seven tackles, five clearances and three inside-50’s.	7
22	Geel	Won a mountain of ball early then only managed nine possessions for remainder of the game for 19 in total.	5
23	Melb	Used in defence and was okay without doing anything earth-shattering.	5

2016 Season

1	Syd	Another with a high tackle count who worked his way into the game, but little impact.	4
2	Rich	Better performance than previous week. Contributed five tackles, one inside-50.	5
3	StK	Looked dangerous at times and at least tried to create some run and carry for team. Not the worst.	6
4	Melb	Quiet first half (six effective disposals) and ditto second – one inside-50s, two clearances.	4
5	Ess	Got back into some form with five clearances and plenty of ball. Confidence booster.	6
6	WCE	One of the better midfielders. Won the ball well and gave the team some run.	6
7	Carl	Used on a wing and across half forward. OK but not reaching the heights of last season.	5
8	Bris	Solid opening term (six disposals) but only 14 on a night the Magpies dominated.	5
9	Geel	Huge first half key to setting up win and ran with Dangerfield at times. Eight inside-50s.	7
10	WB	Worked hard for four quarters with tackling and effort at ground level.	6
11	Port	Numbers were OK but wasn’t a factor for much of the day in midfield.	5
12	Melb	Midfielder struggled to do any damage. Under pressure all day and as a result has seven kicks.	3
14	Frem	Energetic in the middle early, and although quieter in second half was effective.	6
15	Carl	Laid four tackles but overall a quiet night in the midfield.	3
16	GWS	OK game without starring.	5
17	Adel	Four inside-50s and two fine goals in the second term.	7
18	NM	Began on Dal Santo. Steady without starring. Tackled hard.	5
19	WCE	Battled hard to keep the ball moving the Magpies way and chimed in with important goal.	6
20	Rich	Arguably side’s best as played four solid quarters. Six clearances, five tackles.	7
21	WB	Steady contributor in midfield where he also applied pressure.	6
22	GCS	Big start with 11 possessions in first term and ended with two goals. Good contributor.	7
23	Haw	Burrowed in well and among better players. Seven clearances.	7

2015 Season

1	Bris	Broke even with Bewick on a wing.	6
2	Adel	Couldn’t convert opportunities in front of goals. Five inside 50s.	5
3	StK	Impressive game in all respects. Looks to be a fine pick-up.	7
4	Ess	Had the job to quell Watson and make himself a handy contributor too.	7
5	Carl	Proving a valuable acquisition in midfield, playing off opposition guns.	6
6	Geel	Negating mid whose lack of breakaway pace is only real knock.	5
7	Rich	Among Pies’ best again. Two goals, six inside-50s and two score assists.	7
8	GCS	Got plenty of the footy and made nine clearances.	6
9	NM	Relished the heavy going – especially late and kicked a good long goal.	7
10	Melb	Thrown run-with role on N Jones and found that tough. OK himself.	5
11	GWS	Continues strong first season at club in midfield. Two big goals.	8
13	Frem	Spent time matching motors with Fyfe and while found it tough kept battling.	6
14	Haw	Excellent first half and never let up.	7
15	Port	Smooth mover was a consistent contributor.	7
16	WCE	Started in middle and was good again.	6
17	WB	One of his quietest games in new colors. Couldn’t break free.	4
18	Melb	Up-and-down with no obvious tag. Third game in a row without a goal.	5
19	Carl	Steady in midfield then went to the lively Murphy late to try to rein him in.	6
20	Syd	Another good game and his last quarter goal gave hope.	6
21	Rich	Battled away for five inside-50s and two clearances but not a decisive factor.	5
22	Geel	Used the ball much better than previous week and had nine inside-50s.	8
23	Ess	One clearance, no inside-50s and one goal. Not a big afternoon.	5
