2017 Digest:   A make or break year looms for the former Swan, whose first season back in the west was ordinary. Looks more settled now.

2017 NAB Cup:  

2017 Season

1	NM	Just the nine touches and a joe-the-goose goal. Eagles would want more out of him.	4
2	WAFL	Dropped back to the WAFL (despite glue injury claims) and was okay without starring. 19 possessions and eight marks.	–
3	Rich	Not damaging at all.	4
4	WAFL	Won plenty of the ball on the outside and pressed claims for a recall in a heavy defeat.	–
5	WAFL	Steady without starring in win. 19 possessions and four inside-50s for the Royals.	–
6	WAFL	Drifted in and out of the game, but is a million miles off the player he was at times with the Swans.	–
7	WAFL	Bye.	–
8	WAFL	Missed a couple of shots for goal, but was a handy contributor on the day.	–
9	WAFL	One of his best outings in a while Strong late when the game was on the line. 10 inside 50s.	–
10	GWS	His best game for the club. Ran, worked, won the ball 28 times and kicked two goals.	7
11	GCS	Quite good for the most part, and booted a goal to get things started in the last quarter.	7
12		Bye.
13	Geel	Found some form with 20 possessions, two goals and a good workrate. Importantly hit targets with his touches.	7
14	Melb	His kicking is vital. Would like his set shot again in the final term.	6
15	WB	Provided some drive out of defence and disposal efficiency (12 of 16 hit target) better than most.	5
16	Port	West Coast need him with the ball in his hands and 12 disposals wasn’t enough.	4
17	Frem	Didn’t have his usual run and his kicking game wasn’t prominent.	4
18	Coll	Little defensive effort…almost plays too cool on the field.	4
19		Calf.
20		Calf.
21	Carl	The Eagles needed more of his break away speed. Only 15 touches.	5
22	GWS	Missing person notice posted for him at halftime, but worked his way into it. Needs to use his pace more often.	3
23	Adel	His final term was outstanding. The key reason why the Eagles held on to play finals.	7
EF	Port	Work off back of square in extra time was telling. Just fair before that.	5
SF	GWS	The SES were readying a search party until he made one run down the wing. Part of the problem for the Eagles list managers.	2

2016 Season

1		Calf.
2	Haw	Another poor outing on the MCG. Hardly saw it, and when he did kicked it horribly.	1
3	Frem	Showed why he was recruited with two goals. His work in attack was good.	6
4	Rich	Took another step forward. His fitness is improving and he kicked a goal.	5
5	Syd	Ordinary day against old team and a shocker miss was greeted with delight.	3
6	Coll	Barely touched the footy.	2
7	Geel	Horrible. Has to be playing WAFL this week. Six effective disposals.	1
8	WAFL	Plenty of the ball with 29 disposals but wasteful highlighted by three behinds.	–
9	WAFL	Struggled in the stormy conditions for just 13 touches.	–
10	GCS	Had some good running moments that contributed to the team’s scoring.	4
11	WAFL	Couldn’t get into the game on a wing after coming on at quarter time.	–
12	WAFL	Bye.	–
13	Bris	Played his role on a wing and outpointed Bewick.	6
15	Ess	Had some better signs. Still needs to break the lines and get more disposals.	5
16	NM	Only nine touches and wasn’t in a position to win the footy enough.	3
17		Senior emergency.
18	WAFL	No impact again on the wing with 16 touches and outpointed by opponent.	–
19	WAFL	Bye.	–
20	WAFL	Better performance with 23 disposals and looked more engaged.	–
21	WAFL	Better showing again finishing with 24 possessions.	–
22	Haw	His best game this year. Aggressive and chased hard.	6
23	Adel	Started strongly with a goal in the second term but faded quickly.	5
EF		–

2015 Season

Played for : Sydney Swans

1	Ess	On Goddard initially. Slippery conditions didn’t suit defender’s game at all.	4

3	GWS	Kicked a key goal to halt GWS momentum and dangerous at times.	6
4	Frem	Kicked one goal but really quiet.	3

6	Melb	Unbelievable snap goal from outside 50 thrilled fans. Created all night.	7
7	Geel	Gave some great drive off a wing and troubled the Cats throughout.	7
8	Haw	Flitted in and out of game. Key chase and tackle would have pleased coach.	6

21	GWS	Just 11 touches but Swans will be happy with his seven tackles.	4
22	StK	Brilliant opening goal but not a major factor after that.	4
23	GCS	Sub. On to start second term replacing Jack. Didn’t extend himself overly.	5
QF	Frem	Only 11 disposals in the first three quarters then lifted in final term.	5
SF	NM	Tagged by Gibson and zero impact. Subbed out at three-quarter time.	1

6	Melb	Run and carry a feature early then slowed by a calf injury.	6
7	Bris	Used his speed to great effect and wasted opportunities in front of goal.	6
8	Haw	Found space off a wing and a key player linking defence and attack.	7

11	Geel	One of few Swans to not overly impact game. One goal from limited touches.	4
12	GCS	Glided along the wing and pushed forward to kick two handy majors.	6
13	Port	Gave run as usual and kicked a goal to do his bit.	5
14	Rich	Provided outside run and drove the ball inside 50 six times. Solid.	6
15	GWS	As he has been for much of this year, he was solid but unspectacular.	5

17	Carl	His form has been building, but a little down on his recent form.	5
18	Haw	Got the better of his speed duel with Hill on a wing. Drove the ball forward well.	7
19	Ess	Rolled ankle before half time but kept going and added zip.	5
20	Port	Six inside-50s, three clearances and four crunching tackles.	6
21	StK	Not a big day but was handy.	4
22	WB	Brilliant early goal and attacked ball hard. Pace on the outside exciting.	6

1	GWS	His speed and run stood out. Among the best with 20 touches.	7
2	Frem	Used his pace to perfection and capped off good work with three goals.	7
3	Port	His pace was electrifying at times as he ran in kicking three goals.	7
4	NM	Used pace and guile to kick three superb goals. Getting better and better.	7
5	Haw	Got away a few times without big scoring impact.	4
6	Adel	His best game for the Swans and was a constant menace with his pace.	7

10	WB	Kicked a career-high four goals, including two contenders for goal of the year.	7
11	Ess	His pace worried Dons all night.	7

15	Bris	Didn’t quite break free but kicked another goal to take his tally to 32.	5

18	GCS	Reasonably well contained, finishing with just the one goal.	4
19	Carl	Great bursts of pace created moves.	6
20	Coll	Couldn’t quite generate usual impact on the scoreboard, well held by Toovey.	5
21	WB	Tagged by Picken and not his most effective outing – one great goal a highlight.	4
22	Haw	Had five inside-50s but limited disposals meant limited impact.	4
23	Geel	Four inside-50s but that was about it. Didn’t worry Cats at all.	3
