Jack REDDEN

2017 Digest:   Faces a fight to keep his spot in the best 22 after his move from Brisbane in 2016. Pre-season form has been up and down.

2017 NAB Cup:  

2017 Season

1	NM	Steady game in midfield rotation and worked hard defensively with eight tackles.	6
2	StK	Played across half-forward and didn’t have the same impact as he did last week.	4
3	Rich	Another that was a non-factor. Under 20 disposals and only 98 metres gained.	5
4	Syd	Handy enough in midfield but really drifted from the game after half time.	5
5	Haw	Made a few poor decisions that halted momentum early on. 17 touches and a goal…where is he at?	5
6	Frem	Needs to find the footy because 16 isn’t enough. But his smother on Hughes stood out.	4
7	Port	Didn’t find a lot of the footy but made up for it with his tough tackling.	4
8	WB	Improved game. Defensively he did well inside 50 and he found the ball too.	6
9	Ess	Went to Merrett, but was burned off by the in-form Bomber. Where is his career at? Eight touches.	2
10		Bye.
11	WAFL	Found a bit of form in WAFL win. 29 possessions, six clearances, two goals and seven tackles.	–
12		Bye.
13	WAFL	27 possessions, five clearances and 10 tackles. Missed a lot of targets by foot, though.	–
14		Senior emergency.
15	WB	Excellent return to the side with a six-disposal, four-tackle first term. Continued to be a handy contributor.	6
16	WAFL	Bye.	–
17	Frem	One of his best games for the Eagles. Won 29 possessions and used it well. That’s what the team needs.	7
18	Coll	Finding some form now. Had it 24 times in the middle and did good defensive work at the coalface. Faded late though	6
19	Bris	Continued his good form with 27 disposals and six clearances.	7
20	StK	Strong input for first three quarters, then out of it.	6
21	Carl	Continued his good recent form to finish with 21 disposals and two goals.	7
22	GWS	Using his height and strength to make an influence in the midfield. Another strong day for him.	7
23	Adel	His start set up the win. Had 17 touches in the first half and finished with 21.	6
EF	Port	Okay in midfield without starring. 21 possessions.	6
SF	GWS	One of the few Eagles to at least take it up to GWS. Will take on more responsibility next season.	7

2016 Season

1	Bris	Kicked a goal against his former club. Setlled in well as an Eagle.	6
2	Haw	Half his possessions were contested and kicked a goal. Not the worst.	6
3	Frem	A quiet night. Couldn’t get involved.	3
4	Rich	Quiet. Had 14 touches but wasn’t in the thick of it.	4
5	Syd	Nice goal but generally didn’t have a big day.	3
6	Coll	Strong in congestion with 14 contested possessions. Kicked a goal too.	7
7	Geel	Couldn’t get into the game at all. Interrupted pre-season is really hurting him.	2
8	StK	Not prominent again and one of few down sides for Eagles.	3
9	Port	Has slotted into the Eagles engine room magnificently.	6
10	GCS	Flew under the radar and still won 22 disposals.	6
11	WB	Ordinary effort. Looks so rusty and unable to influence the flow of the game.	2
12	Adel	Won clearances but didn’t get enough of the ball elsewhere.	5
13	Bris	Even performance against his former club.	5
15	WAFL	Responded to being dropped by being best on ground. 28 touches, three goals.	–
16	WAFL	Second straight dominant game with 35 possessions, six tackles.	–
17	Carl	Another quiet one. Four kicks, zero inside-50s and just two tackles.	2
18	Melb	Didn’t do enough. Only 14 touches.	4
19		Shoulder.
20		Shoulder.
21	WAFL	Disappointing performance with just the nine touches, five tackles, one goal.	–
22	WAFL	Tried hard but still struggling with just 18 possessions, nine tackles, one goal.	–
23	WAFL	Improved showing finishing with 23 touches and five tackles.	–

16	Melb	Looked disinterested and played with little urgency. Always under pressure.	5
17	NM	A game-high 29 touches (seven ineffective kicks) overstated his worth.	7
18	Geel	Gone backwards this year as a player. Won the ball but did little with it.	5
19	GCS	Slow start, but worked his way into the game.	6
20	Carl	In amongst it all night but over-used the handball at times.	7
