2017 Digest:   Showing no effects of off-season hip surgery and gradually easing back into touch as prime tall defender after his long lay-off.

2017 NAB Cup:  

2017 Season

1	Melb	Did a few nice things but was tested by Melbourne's active tall forwards.	4
2	WCE	Good job on Darling after the Eagle looked ready to launch. Fought hard.	6
3	Bris	Intercepted well in the first half but impact waned a touch until some key moments.	6
4	Coll	Dominated White early; strong presence in back half but less to do after half time as all the play was at the other end.	6
5	Geel	Battled hard down back and had Taylor covered when opposed to him. Didn’t offer much offensively.	4
6	Haw	Manned young O’Brien to start with. Took some great marks and played his best game in new colors. Late goal capped it off.	8
7	GWS	Had job on Cameron and for the most part was able to keep him from being the destroyer. Read the game well to be in the way.	7
8	Carl	Big first half where he rebounded everything. Beat the inexperienced Weitering and provided a real presence down back.	8
9	Syd	Worked hard down back as Saints were under regular bombardment.	5
10	WB	Did well against the resting tall down back and was briefly moved forward for the first time to try and give spark.	7
11		Bye.
12	Adel	Struggled after some friendly fire from Sam Gilbert who landed awkwardly on his leg.	3
13	NM	Stood tall when North mounted a surge in third quarter. Reasonable game on Waite.	5
14	GCS	Read the play well in defence and cut off Gold Coast at times. Bobbed up for handy goal.	6
15	Frem	Defended well and pushed forward for two goals in first hour. Livened things up with clash with Ballantyne.	7
16	Rich	Solid in his 100th game and did what he had to in back half.	6
17	Ess	Intercepted everything early in the game and even Dons fans tired of booing him. Went forward in second half.	6
18	Syd	Had some interceptions early but he couldn't thwart Sinclair.	4
19	Port	Constantly intercepted with well judged marks and well on top of Trengove.	8
20	WCE	Generally had the better of Darling and was solid down back.	6
21	Melb	Dropped off Weideman to control the air in the back half. Was thrown forward at times and provided a contest.	7
22	NM	Read play well in defence for intercept marks and was again sound down back. In scuffle at quarter time and reported twice.	6
23	Rich	Battled Riewoldt and then Townsend. Tried hard and was better after half time.	5
