2017 NAB Cup:  

2017 Season

Played for : Carlton

1		–
2		–
3		Handy at times in attack to end with two goals. Given himself a foundation to salvage his career.
4	PM	Another tall who saw time at both ends of the ground. Kicked three goals in an encouraging outing.	–
5	VFL	Kicked two goals and took some nice marks. The question is, can he do this at AFL level? Jury is still out.	–
6	VFL	Used the ball well by foot. Blended inside and outside work nicely, with eight contested possessions and seven uncontested.	–
7	VFL	Controlled the back half in the air with 12 marks. Looks more comfortable in defence.	–
8	VFL	Excellent game in attack. Booted five goals and took some great marks. Now needs to back it up.	–
9	VFL	Good down back hauling in 10 marks and keeping his opponents in check.	–
10		Bye.
11		Bye.
12	VFL	Did his job fairly well down back. 15 possessions and eight rebounds.	–
13	VFL	Booted three goals, but was outmaneuvered a few times in attack.	–
14	VFL	Had better days in the defensive half. Reported too.	–
15		Suspended.
16	VFL	Did some good work in the back half. Now needs to consistently show it.	–
17	VFL	Not much impact. Looked dangerous when ball was in the area, but invisible when the pill wasn't there.	–
18	VFL	Inconsistent day. Created chances for the smalls at times but needs to respect and value the contest more often. Just the nine touches.	–
19	VFL	Aerial work was much better and he applied good pressure at ground level. Finished with four goals.	–
20	VFL	Booted four goals and presented strongly in attack. Good effort.	–
21		Suspended.
22	VFL	Goalless, but worked hard and continually gave a target.	–

17	WCE	Couldn’t get into the game up forward then went back. Two marks.	3
