2017 Season

1		–
2		–
3		Senior emergency.
4	VFL	Skippered VFL side and looked a class above at times playing through midfield and forward.	–
5	VFL	Did well in the back half with 24 possessions and five tackes. A senior call-up wouldn’t surprise.	–
6	Coll	First game for the season. Had Fasolo and from that perspective did well given one of Pies’ goals came when he was off ground.	6
7	GCS	Certainly held his own across half back. Tried to attack when he could and used the ball well.	6
8	Ess	Started well then effort faded but his leg speed is a must to retain in the side. Ended with nine effective disposals.	5
9	WB	Spent first half in defence and played minor role then swung forward in third without impact. Couple of highlights.	4
10	Port	Had job on Robbie Gray who kicked all three goals while he was off the ground. Good effort in many one-on-ones.	5
11		Ankle.
12		Ankle.
13	WCE	Battled LeCras (no goals, six kicks) but didn’t offer much defensively; 5 possessions for the night.	3
14	Frem	Defended grimly, particular in final term when he won a number of one-on-ones.	6
15	GWS	Great again opposed mainly to Smith. Really building as the season drags on; 12 disposals and three tackles.	6
16	Bris	Nothing flash but subdued Bewick while also being a link man out of defence.	6
17	Haw	Took a variety of opponents and did well to nullify them. Won a few key one-on-ones.	5
18	Adel	One of the Cats’ best. Defended well with intercept marks and was able to nullify Betts when opposed to him. Good effort.	7
19	Carl	Steady again from the back half. Getting better each and every week as a rebounding defender; 13 disposals.	6
20	Syd	Spent time on Heeney and had him covered. Battled hard but limited possessions given side under siege.	4
21	Rich	Solid as a rock on a number of the tigers dangerous small forwards. Calm under pressure. Having a terrific season.	7
22	Coll	Matched Elliott for most of the day and claimed his scalp in another fine effort from emerging player. Kicked a goal.	7
23	GWS	Great battle with Greene who kicked two goals in first half then was kept to one after half time.	6
QF	Rich	Looked a little nervous throughout. Will get better from the experience but will need to lift.	2
SF	Syd	Bounced back from last week’s shocker like a rubber man on a trampoline. Gave great drive and defended well.	6
PF	Adel	Had the task on Betts and stuck to it ok but did make some mistakes. Got two-year deal, which was good.	4
