2017 NAB Cup:
2017 Season
Played for : Essendon
1 | Haw | Laid a game-high eight tackles to go with his 26 possessions. Provided the grunt in the middle which allowed others to flourish. | 7 |
2 | Bris | Game high 34 touches, beating is direct opponent Beams by one. Instrumental in last quarter when game in balance. | 9 |
3 | Carl | Nine tackles and 14 contested possessions highlighted another solid performance from the former skipper. | 7 |
4 | Adel | Struggled to keep up with the speed and intensity of the game. | 4 |
5 | Coll | Typical centreman’s game accumulating touches and doing a lot of grunt work. | 5 |
6 | Melb | Had seven clearances but that was all he did. Unable to run and looked extremely slow on the spread. Needed a break. | 4 |
7 | Rested. | ||
8 | Geel | Veteran ball winner mixed good and bad. Helped keep the wheels turning but played second fiddle to others in the middle. | 6 |
9 | WCE | Best game this year and was super clean with his hands in tight. A big positive. | 8 |
10 | Rich | Battle-hardened ball winner. Five clearances but tellingly he didn’t have an inside-50 for the night. | 6 |
11 | GWS | Good in tight in midfield slog. Six clearances and 28 possessions. | 7 |
12 | Port | Rewarded for his work with a goal and was very good around the stoppages. | 8 |
13 | Bye. | ||
14 | Syd | 10 possessions in first half and missed a few chances to hit the scoreboard. Steady after main break, but not at his best. | 6 |
15 | Bris | Kept working inside and his nine tackles were the most by any Bomber. | 6 |
16 | Coll | Back to something closer to his best with 23 possessions, four clearances and five inside-50s. | 7 |
17 | Soreness. | ||
18 | NM | At one stage had one kick and 13 handballs. Finished with 7 kicks from 27 disposals. Big body was useful. | 7 |
19 | WB | Off the pace with his speed and decision-making. A worrying outing in terms of his future. | 4 |
20 | Carl | Struggled. Not sure where to from here. Ended the match with 11 possessions and two kicks. Interesting week ahead. | 2 |
21 | Adel | Couldn’t make an impact in the first half, but lifted side with a goal. Workmanlike. | 5 |
22 | Rested. | ||
23 | Frem | Back to his best around the stoppages. Had eight clearances and was clean when others weren't. | 8 |
EF | Syd | Career ending contest saw the veteran gather 20 possessions. Hats off to a great competitor and great person. | 4 |

2014 Season
Played for : Essendon

2 | Haw | Had Langford on his tail but work-rate ensures he always finds plenty of ball. | 7 |
3 | Carl | Wasn’t his dominant self but didn’t need to be. | 6 |

18 | Collarbone. | ||

2012 Season
Played for : Essendon
1 | NM | Constant ball-getter in middle. Tired towards end. | 7 |
2 | Port | Won his share of ball (25) but failed to hit targets a number of times. | 5 |

4 | Carl | Super effort in the clinches, with 31 touches. | 8 |
5 | Coll | Didn’t look the same player as the week before. Never really damaging. | 6 |
6 | Bris | Typically high standard game, with 36 touches, including 14 contested. | 8 |
7 | WCE | Pumped the ball out of middle in 11-touch first term. Good throughout. | 8 |
8 | Rich | In everything first half with 20 touches, went forward and disrupted match-ups. | 8 |
9 | GWS | Blossomed after half time in another accomplished game from the skipper. | 6 |
10 | Melb | Carried the banner on his own for most of night. | 7 |
11 | Syd | Best ball-winner again, but had to carry the load in his own. | 7 |
13 | Frem | Willed his team to victory. Was brilliant when it mattered. | 8 |
14 | WB | Was everywhere in the first term. Then Picken silenced him to some degree. | 8 |
15 | StK | Couldn’t be completely quelled but contained from match-winning role. | 6 |
16 | Port | Moore did a great job for three quarters until Watson cut loose. | 7 |
17 | Geel | Won a lot of the ball early but overall disposal efficiency well down. | 6 |
18 | Haw | Had 22 touches to half time without normal incisiveness. Unceasing effort. | 6 |
19 | Adel | Arguably the best captain in the AFL, could not have done more. | 9 |
20 | NM | Looked like a great head to head with Wells early. Took over but held late. | 8 |
21 | Carl | No Brownlow votes on that but his workrate a great example to others. | 6 |
22 | Rich | Gave Martin headaches early, but even he was subdued from second quarter. | 5 |
