Lincoln MCCARTHY

2017 Digest:   Flown under the radar this summer. Overcame some slight niggles to play against the Crows but copped knock to shoulder.

2017 NAB Cup:  

2017 Season

1	Frem	Chipped in with three goals which is a good return for a small forward. Got on the end of some good work.	6
2	NM	Great first half pivotal in keeping side in the hunt then struggled to get into the game after the main break.	4
3	Melb	Great first term (seven disposals) then wasn’t able to influence the flow of game until final term when snapped a goal late.	5

2016 Season

1	Haw	Clean early and kicked two first-half goals. Tackle pressure solid all day.	6
2	GWS	One third-term goal but generally well held. Two tackles, three inside-50s.	4
3	Bris	Two goals and a few hard tackles a highlight of another neat performance as a small forward.	6
4		Senior emergency.
5	Port	Snap goal late in second term and another in third kept him involved. Doing his bit.	6
6	GCS	Copped heavy hit early and off for an extended period. Never quite recovered and went goalless.	2
7	WCE	Injured ankle early and while tried to return he was done by quarter time.	1

11	GWS	Looked rusty in first half but got going with a goal in the third term and set up another in last.	5
12	NM	Couldn’t get into the game at all. Two kicks for one point.	1
13	WB	Struggled to get into the game to any degree and had no shots at goal.	3
14	StK	Three goals and tackling solid but made a few skill errors that hurt team.	7
16	Syd	Laid a few hard tackles but ultimately he has to hit scoreboard and didn’t.	2
17	Frem	Stats not huge but impact meaningful. Seven tackles and two goal assists.	6
18	Adel	Down a little but kicked a key goal in third term. All good experience.	3
19	WB	Tackle pressure solid and lively at times around the ball. Played a role.	4
20		Adductor.
21	Rich	Took a hanger and at least looked dangerous when he got it. Two goals.	6
22	Bris	Two goals in third term and a nice mark but apart from that was very quiet.	4
23	Melb	Tackled ferociously and won enough ball to be a nuisance. One goal.	6
QF	Haw	Third term cameo was timely. Stats not huge but played his role well.	6
PF	Syd	Three kicks in a bitterly disappointing performance. Tackled well at times.	2
