Jack LONIE

2017 Digest:   Has become more consistent with his contested work. Tackling is elite and has looked better than in a flat second year.

2017 NAB Cup:  

2017 Season

1	Melb	Late inclusion for the bigger McCartin in attack and gave something at ground level.	5
2	WCE	With two goals and heaps of lively play, Lonie gave the team a spark.	7
3	Bris	Buzzed about and came to the fore at stages after half time with his important touches. Fair.	4
4	Coll	Unable to find space after coming off the bench to rotate forward.	3
5		Senior emergency.
6	VFL	Excellent outing. Proved too nippy for Magpies with 25 possessions and two goals.	–
7	VFL	Massive in tight win. 39 possessions, seven clearances and six inside-50s as a pure midfielder.	–
8	VFL	Well-held in midfield. Only 15 touches – well down on recent outputs.	–
9	VFL	Good again, but not as influential as he has been. 22 possessions and seven clearances.	–
10	VFL	Won a lot of the ball, but wasn’t spared much room by an on-song Bulldog midfield.	–
11	VFL	Applied great defesnive pressure, but unable to get hands on the ball like he has been.	–
12	VFL	Pressed claims for a senior recall. 23 touches and six clearances.	–
13	NM	Did some very clever things at times and ran hard. Still trying to cement a place.	5
14	GCS	Fair, but didn't get enough of the ball.	4
15	Frem	A good defensive forward but didn’t kick a goal. Does he keep his spot?	4
16	Rich	Buzzed around, pressured and was in the thick of it. Sucked a few Tigers in early on.	5
17	Ess	Kept at the task but opportunities were very limited.	4
18	Syd	Didn't get enough of the ball.	2
19	Port	Nippy forward couldn’t get it often enough.	4
20	VFL	Outstanding. 37 possessions, 11 clearances, two goals and 11 tackles.	–
21	VFL	Bye.	–
22	VFL	Clearly Sandy's best in midfield. 30 possessions and eight inside 50s.	–
23	Rich	Stumbled and fumbled his way through the afternoon. Could he be on the trade table?	2

2016 Season

1	Port	Career high three goals and was a constant menace in the forward half.	6
2	WB	Just one goal and mucked up a few scoring chances. Uncharacteristic.	3
3	Coll	Missed three set shot opportunities and decision making not ideal for a small forward. Quiet.	3
4	Haw	Made some smart decisions with ball in hand going forward and kicked a goal himself.	5
5	GWS	Quiet day in general.	2
6	VFL	Responded perfectly to being dropped with huge outing. Three goals too.	–
7	NM	Late re-inclusion in place of Sinclair. Having a flat second year.	3
8	WCE	Slightly better game but things aren’t falling his way.	3
9	VFL	Superb in the front half with four goals. Spurts through midfield impressive too.	–
10	VFL	Bye.	–
11	VFL	Not as influential as recent outings but did some good things when required.	–
12	VFL	Given too much room by Bombers and made them pay with five classy goals.	–
13	VFL	Bye.	–
14		Senior emergency.
15	GCS	Still a fair way off last year’s form.	3

19	VFL	Battled hard against the tide with six inside-50s and 10 tackles.	–
20	VFL	Industrious game with seven inside-50s and five tackles in midfield.	–
21	VFL	Buzzed about for 22 touches, but Hawks’ made sure they paid a watchful eye to him.	–
22	Rich	Quiet game, but did a couple of nice things	3
23	Bris	Three goals represented much better effort after a patchy year.	6
