2017 Digest:   Form patchy last year and faces a race against the clock to be fit for the opener after a hamstring injury against the Bulldogs.

2017 NAB Cup:  

2017 Season

1	StK	Signalled early that he would be dangerous around goals and pace worried Saints.	5
2	Carl	Booted three goals against his former club to be one of the game-breakers. Chase down on Docherty and goal one for highlight reel.	7
3	Geel	One goal but was pretty well held by Mackie in a great battle for most of the contest.	3
4	Frem	Kicked three goals and was always dangerous in attack and on the fly from high up the ground. Did his bit.	7
5	Rich	Buzzed about in front half and was good in third term surge. Would like a re-do on a few of those late touches.	5
6	Ess	Booted three goals to get the better of Baguley and get the Dees going in third term. Gave value for possessions.	6
7	Haw	Couldn’t get away from Stratton early then jagged two goals in three minutes in third term. Ended match with three from 7 kicks.	5
8	Adel	Burst into life in the second half with two goals and two goal assists.	6
9	NM	Failed to kick a goal and was rarely sighted with Williams in his back pocket.	2
10	GCS	The only Dee to play a four-quarter game. Ended with 5.4 and was the catalyst when things were going bad.	9
11		Bye.
12	Coll	Continually found space in forward half even when Pies got on top. Putting together a fine season.	7
13	WB	Radar was off in front of the big sticks with 2.4 (including two posters) but was again at his lively best in attack.	6
14	WCE	Quiet. Only four disposals.	3
15		Hamstring.
16	Carl	Small forward chimed in with three goals (from six kicks) in what was a handy effort given tight game.	6
17	Adel	Missed a sitter early on, but was busy in the front half without hitting the scoreboard. Got up through midfield in spurts.	5
18	Port	Caused headaches in attack – especially in the first half. Missed a few chances though and ended with 2.3	5
19	NM	Kicked two into the wind in first term, but then missed a few gettable shots that proved costly.	6
20	GWS	Unsighted for long periods in attack. Shaw never gave him an inch.	1
21	StK	Quiet for long periods but came alive in the final term when the Dees needed.	4
22	Bris	Booted two goals from just eight touches but applied some pressure in the front half.	5
23	Coll	The one Demon who continued to get his hands on the ball in first half. Booted two goals, but poor effort late was costly.	6

2016 Season

1	GWS	Struggled to get into the game early then had a run through middle. Better late.	5
2	Ess	Only six touches, but at least looked lively and ended with two goals.	4
3		Ankle.
4		Ankle.
5	Rich	Four goals and made Morris look second rate at times. Huge influence in the victory.	8
6	StK	Controlled by Geary and never threatened to play a big part.	3
7	GCS	Fairly well held though still bobbed up with a three goals.	5
8	WB	Adcock/Morris kept him quiet for long periods. Two goals but rarely a factor.	3
9	Bris	Waxed with Hogan in first half and could have booted more than two goals. Found space.	5
10	Port	Byrne-Jones had his measure for much of the day. Just the one major.	3
11	Haw	Would want to have all evidence of the game erased. A horror day in the front half.	1
12	VFL	Just eight touches after being dropped, but wasn’t helped by Casey’s poor delivery.	–
13	VFL	OK in patches. Kicking significantly let him down.	–
14	VFL	Bye.	–
15	Adel	Back in the team and back in form with four goals. Enjoyed finding space in Adelaide’s zone defence.	7
16	Frem	Ball just didn’t really bounce his way despite good endeavour in front half.	3
17	StK	Drifted out as the game wore on – much like rest of team. Ended with two goals.	3
18	WCE	His three goals came from only nine touches. Made the most of his chances.	6
19	GCS	Quiet for long periods but burst in and out when the Dees needed a few times.	4
20	Haw	Couldn’t get into the game at all and ended with no goals and one tackle.	3
21	Port	Two goals in the final term to put the icing on the cake.	6
22		Ill.
23	Geel	Two goals in final term added some respectability to a pretty ordinary game.	4

2015 Season

1	GCS	The ignitor in attack and in stints in the middle. Good effort.	7
2	GWS	Started well but like many others drifted from the game in second half.	3
3	Adel	Two goals from six attempts in a performance of what ifs?	5
4	Rich	Always dangerous in attack and two third-term goals gave Dees breathing space.	6
5	Frem	Three first-half goals but then supply dried up. Goalkicking much improved.	7
6	Syd	A spectator in first half then came alive after main break.	5
7	Haw	Kicked three, should have had five. A rare winner.	6
8	WB	Brilliant banana goal from the pocket in final term his only highlight.	4
9	Port	Kicked two goals in the opening half but didn’t impact the game otherwise.	4
10	Coll	Two electrifying goals in second term bought crowd alive. Not much else.	4
11	StK	Barely sighted in attack apart from one freak boundary-side goal.	2
12	Geel	Ended with four crucial goals to bounce back after a poor game last week.	7
14	WCE	Worked hard in front half to keep ball in and had spurts in midfield.	5
15	Ess	Lowered colours to Baguley but worked hard defensively with nine tackles.	6
16	Bris	Lively in attack with two goals, but defensive pressure his highlight.	6
17	StK	Webster restricted him and apart from one nice snap goal did nothing.	3
18	Coll	Two first-half goals but had little impact in the second.	6
19	NM	Well beaten by Wright and only one goal. Missed a costly mark in third term.	2
20	WB	Ended with two goals and had a few bursts in middle.	4
21	Carl	A spectator in the first half. Came alive in third term but that was it.	3
22	Frem	Kicked two goals and laid six tackles. Did well.	6
23	GWS	Dynamic with two first quarter goals but drifted from the game.	5

2014 Season

Played for : Carlton

1	Port	Early goal disallowed then well held til goal right at end.	2
2	Rich	Not a big factor in 100th game.	3
3	Ess	Might have to set GPS for VFL. One goal and zero inside-50s not enough.	2
4	VFL	Goalless in the VFL after being dropped. Disinterested.	–
5	VFL	Pushed higher up the ground, got involved more than recent weeks.	–
6	WCE	Fantastic return with 3.1 and three score assists. Influential.	8
7	Coll	Couldn’t get a sniff in first half and it didn’t get any better.	2
8	StK	Sub. Thrown in for final term and produced a ripping goal late.	1
10	Adel	Sub. Injected some life into the game late despite limited touches.	1
11	Bris	Sub came on in second term and kicked two quick goals then another later.	5
12	Geel	Solid first half (10 disp) then went right out of the game after main break.	4
13	VFL	Ran through midfield in new role but was goalless.	–
14	VFL	Slightly better than recent efforts but a long way from his best.	–
15	VFL	Struggled again and career appears at the crossroads.	–
16	VFL	Quiet until bursting to life with a huge final term. Two goals.	–
17	VFL	Held to 13 touches by Warren and minimal impact.	–
18	VFL	Just six touches on another dirty afternoon.	–
19	VFL	Better than recent outings but still nowhere near his best.	–
20	VFL	In and out but was a bit better than past few weeks.	–
21	VFL	Ran through midfield and had some pep in his step. Better.	–

8	Port	Kicked four goals with uncanny goal sense. Having a good year.	6
9	Bris	Bobbed up on occasions and should have done more than two goals.	6

15	Coll	Kicked opening two goals then hardly sighted for the rest of the match.	4
16	StK	Geary kept him under control most of the day but he bobbed up in junk time.	3

18	GCS	Missed several shots at goal to blot his performance.	4
19	Frem	The best of the small forwards but missed crucial goal on the run in third term.	5
20	WB	Goalless until tweaking a hammy and being subbed out.	2
