2017 Digest:   Post season ankle surgery limited forward to light duties prior to Christmas but returned for JLT series. Right to go.

2017 NAB Cup:  

2017 Season

1	GWS	Finally got his kicking boots on finishing with three majors.	7
2	Haw	Injured in opening term and was taken to hospital with a kidney/spleen injury.	0
3		Ribs.
4		Ribs.
5		Ribs.
6	Rich	Slow return back from injured ribs, will be better for the body on body contests moving forward.	4
7	NM	Hobart police sent out a search party for him at half time. Better second half with two goals, but not one to remember.	4
8	Melb	Has struggled ever since returning to the side, kicked two goals but was hardly sighted.	5
9	SANFL	Demoted for a rare SANFL outing and didn’t disappoint. Nailed four goals including three from his first three kicks.	–
10	Frem	After his one game stint in the SANFL, rewarded the coaches’ faith with three goals and gave off two others.	6
11	Geel	Provided a spark at times in second term then struggled. Does he attack the ball like you would expect? Two goals.	3
12	StK	Return to form with three goals and some strong contested marking.	7
13		Bye.
14	Haw	Three goals including two in two minutes in the second term, but like most of his teammates had poor hands on the night.	5
15	Carl	Leading goal kicker in the game and sealed the Crows win with a magnificent long bomb from outside 50 late in the game.	7
16	WB	Crows best player with a game high four goals, set up two others and took some strong marks inside-50 in the wet.	8
17	Melb	Given too much room by Frost and made him pay in attack by setting up teammates for scores.	6
18	Geel	Had to work up the field to get a kick at times. Ended with one goal and gave something without starring.	5
19	Coll	Poor first half, got his hands on the footy three times for marking contests and spilt them all.	6
20	Port	Made up for his sitter of a miss after the siren at half time with two goals in the last minute of the third term, and four for the game.	8
21	Ess	Good start and an even better finish when his height was too much for Essendon. Three goals.	7
22	Syd	Wanted to keep breaking tackles when a quick handball to a teammate would have been a better option.	6
23	WCE	Didn’t do enough inside 50 in Walker’s absence. Kicked one goal.	4
QF	GWS	Didn’t have a big night ending with just one goal – a gift from Betts. Easily shut out when not allowed out the back.	3
PF	Geel	Chimed in to kick four goals and was always dangerous inside forward 50.	7
GF	Rich	One kick in the first half. When not getting cheapies over the top in free-flowing games he’s nowhere. Horrible.	1

2016 Season

1	NM	Three first-half goals and five for the match from eight kicks. Did his bit.	7
2	Port	Four goals to go with five against the Kangaroos in the previous game.	7
3	Rich	Spent a bit of time in the ruck as well as attack. Just the one goal but created a few.	5
4	Syd	Second quiet game in a row, still contributing but not hitting the scoreboard enough.	5
5	Haw	Pace off the mark troubled Frawley at times. Couple of goals but not big input.	5
6	Frem	Finished the game with two goals and a gash to the head.	4
7	WB	Eight goals kept side in the hunt all night in what was a brilliant performance. Couldn’t have done much more.	9
8	Geel	Two goals but little else from the soon-to-be out-of-contract big man.	4
9	GCS	Second fiddle to Walker, booting just one goal.	4
10	GWS	One goal, six-inside-50s and five scoring assists for the key forward.	5
11	StK	Big day with seven goals from 11 shots.	8
12	WCE	Actually kicked the ball out of the stadium with one of his three goals.	5
14	NM	Well held by Firritto but managed the first goal of the last term to stretch the lead.	4
15	Melb	Kicked two goals but wasn’t a huge factor up forward. Seven kicks.	4
16	Carl	Kicked three goals – all from about five metres out. Modern day Warren Ralph.	6
17	Coll	One goal and no tackles. Did receive a heavy knock though.	4
18	Geel	Three first-half goals handy then only two kicks after half time.	5
19	Ess	Two goals from limited chances, after playing the majority of the game in the ruck.	5
20	Bris	Great duel with Andrews, still managed three goals and five inside-50s.	7
21	Frem	Booted five goals. Freo couldn’t stop him.	8
22	Port	Two goals and three inside-50s, well held by Trengove.	5
23	WCE	Didn’t get his hands on the footy in the first term.	4
EF	NM	Two goals and threatened often but not a huge factor with Firrito on his hammer.	4
SF	Syd	Horrid. One mark, two kicks. No goals.	1

2015 Season

1	NM	Three goals from CHF is always a good return.	6
2	Coll	Relatively well held by Brown. Only four marks and one goal.	4
3	Melb	Like Cameron needs to produce more in the forward 50.	3
4	WB	No opportunities in attack and did a bit on the ball.	4
5	Port	Needs to present more as a forward, and impose himself more at ruck contests.	4
6		Hip.
7		Hip.
8	GWS	Kicked two goals and was OK in front half.	5
9	Frem	Needs to do more, not producing enough up forward or as the back-up ruckman.	4
10	Carl	Proved the match-winner with five goals from eight marks.	8
12	Haw	Beaten comprehensively by Lake.	4
13	Bris	Kept Adelaide in touch early with his work in attack.	6
15	WCE	Kicked two goals and provided lively target. Gave the team some energy.	7
16	Port	Three goals was just what the coach would have wanted.	6
17	GCS	Three goals from seven attempts, handy foil to Walker.	6
18	Syd	Kicked a couple of goals on Grundy and wasn’t the worst.	5
19	Rich	Broke the game apart with two clutch goals late in the third term.	5
20	Ess	Kicked three goals but could easily have kicked five. Six marks.	7
21	Bris	Worked hard running his opponent up and down.	5
22	WCE	Career-best six-goal haul.	8
23	Geel	One goal from nine marks. Tried hard but Lonergan had him well covered.	5
EF	WB	Hamling on him briefly at start. Didn’t make use of size to advantage.	3
SF	Haw	At least showed something in second half even though game over. Four goals.	5

2014 Season

1		Just the one goal. Probably needed to do more.
2	PM	Played at both ends as the Crow tried a few things.	–
3	Syd	Four shots at goal for four behinds, more goalkicking practice required.	4
4	StK	Dispatched Gwilt and Maister and aerial work produced four goals.	7
5	GWS	Forming a potent attack with Podsiadly and Betts.	7
6	WB	Kicked 3.3 and had the better of Talia in attack. Just looks a player.	7
7	Melb	Started slowly but rose to life when the Crows fought back.	6
9	Coll	Four goals and four inside-50s, relished having big Tex back in the side.	8
10	Carl	Great run ended after failing to goal. Only three marks and one inside-50.	2
11	GCS	Two goals and deputised in ruck when Jacobs was out.	6
12	Frem	Had a shocker apart from scrambled goal.	1
13	NM	Started slowly but contributed four inside-50s, four scoring assists, two goals.	6
14	Ess	Booted four goals and looked set to win the game for the Crows.	8
15	Port	Struggled to mark an impression on the game despite a goal.	4
16	GWS	Showed great agility at times.	5
17	Haw	Five goals in a dominant display.	7
18	Coll	Beaten by Goldsack for three quarters and then Keeffe in the last.	3
19	WCE	Three goals but little else from the tall forward.	6
20	Bris	Another who played his role well in a workmanlike effort.	6
21	Rich	Down on form and not contributing enough presence in attack.	4
22	NM	Kicked nice goal but Thompson had the upper hand on him overall.	4
23	StK	Tried down back in final round experiment and OK at times on Stanley.	4

2013 Season

1	Ess	Tried hard and looked OK around the ground rather than when sitting forward.	5
2	Bris	A big target up forward and took 12 marks in slippery conditions. Good.	8
3	Port	Kicked two goals and his strong marking was a feature.	6
4	WB	Kicked one goal and had 11 hit-outs, continues to present well.	6
5	Carl	Battled hard but didn’t hit the scoreboard. Beaten in the air.	4
6	Haw	Presents well, works hard and was unfortunate to kick only two goals.	6
7	GWS	Tall kid marked strongly and kicked four goals.	6
8	StK	Looked like he badly damaged his knee early. But then played good game.	6
9	NM	Nipped in at times up forward and ended the day with 3.2 and five marks.	6
10	Frem	Did manage one goal but conditions didn’t suit the tall forward.	3
11	Syd	Limited opportunities and strong opponent made it a barren day for him.	3
12	Rich	Kicked two goals and had five inside-50s. Tried very hard.	5
14	GCS	Good target up forward and finished with two goals.	5
15	WCE	Well held by MacKenzie to just one goal.	4
16	Coll	At CHF on Brown and quiet after first quarter, missing several gettable shots.	4
17	Geel	Struggled to get away from Cat defenders but important touches late.	4
