2017 Digest:   Classy mid-sized forward played against North and will likely play this weekend to round out preparations.

2017 NAB Cup:  

2017 Season

1	Ess	Burst in and out a few times and kicked a goal, but Gleeson watched him closely and did a good job.	5
2	Adel	Three goals in opening 12 minutes of the game then added a fourth in final two minutes. Not much in between.	6
3	GCS	Barely sighted and was bitterley disappointing. Is better than that.	1
4	Geel	Failed to kick a goal and was beaten by Mackie in a disappointing display from a senior player.	3
5	WCE	Two first-term goals and spent time in centre square. Ended with three majors and was back to some better form.	7
6	StK	Never really threatened in attack or drifting up the ground. Looked to be lacking interest at times.	3
7	Melb	One early goal and that was about it as struggles continue. Six kicks for the day and only two possessions after half time.	3
8	Bris	Provided good forward pressure all day long but not a huge influence.	5
9	Coll	Two typical opportunistic first-half goals and a third put the Hawks back in front in final term.	5
10	Syd	Booted three first-half goals to set Hawthorn on its way. Quiet late, but did his job.	7
11	Port	Victim of lack of delivery or out of form. Probably a combination of both but result was 13 disposals, two goals.	5
12		Ill.
13		Bye.
14	Adel	Didn’t fire a shot. The Hawks' quietest player on the night.	2
15	Coll	One kick in first term and ended with 11 from which he mustered two goals. Second half was a handy contribution.	6
16	GWS	Quiet until the last quarter when he looked like he could steal the win for the Hawks. Finished with two goals.	5
17	Geel	Off target (1.4) and only able to muster one inside-50 and two tackles. More input would have been handy.	3
18	Frem	Kicked two classy goals from the boundary. Found plenty of the ball too.	7
19	Syd	Put his body on the line several times but only 13 touches to show for it.	6
20	Rich	Quiet day until final term when kicked two goals to take his season tally to 28. Service not great.	4
21	NM	Became just the 11th player at Hawthorn to kick 300 goals. Finished with four after a slow start.	7
22	Carl	Kicked 1, but other than that was rarely sighted. Disappointing night.	3
23	WB	Dangerous half forward struggled to get into the game at all; 15 effective disposals and no goals.	2

2016 Season

1	Geel	Got Hawks’ first goal and ended with two. Had a few late fumbles in vital contests.	5
2	WCE	Did his bit inside 50 with one goal and took some attention away from Sicily and Rioli.	5
3	WB	Chimed in with two handy goals at crucial stages.	6
4	StK	Dangerous all day in the front half to end with 2.3. Became the go-to man at times.	6
5	Adel	Snagged a goal but did his better work further up field.	6
6	GWS	Three goals and made the most of limited chances in attack.	7
7	Rich	Couple of nice goals early and finished with six in a strong game.	7
8	Frem	Snagged three goals from limited opportunities.	5
9	Syd	Only one goal but had plenty of work on the ball.	6
10	Bris	More than half of his possessions were contested up forward and rotating through midfield.	6
11	Melb	Set shot kicking unusually wayward but ended with two vital goals in scheme of things.	5
13	NM	Got embroiled in a number of tangles particularly early but kept his head.	5
14	GCS	One goal from 12 kicks. Got involved at times but Sexton did a reasonable job.	5
16	Port	Laid six tackles and kicked two goals. Did give away five free kicks though.	6
17	Syd	Rare quite one. First time this year he failed to kick a goal.	3
18	Rich	Kicked 2.2 but not at his dazzling best for much of the afternoon.	6
19	Carl	Provided the forward spark with the absence of Rioli and Puopolo.	6
20	Melb	Rare quiet one. Went goalless for one of few times in recent years.	2
21	NM	Found going tough but in the end found a way to scrounge two goals.	5
22	WCE	Pushed up the field. Kicked one goal from 16 disposals.	5
23	Coll	Three goals a handy return. Made the most of limited chances.	6
QF	Geel	Lined up on Mackie. Quiet at first but lifted thereafter. Ended with three goals.	7

2015 Season

1	Geel	Quiet first quarter then ended with five goals in a clinical display.	8
2	Ess	Held in check by Baguley for much of afternoon. One second away from stealing game.	5

4	Port	Played more through the midfield than as a permanent forward.	5
5	NM	Opportunistic effort with four goals and made every possession count.	7
6	GWS	Only managed the one goal but tried hard with six tackles.	4
7	Melb	Kicked three goals and made Dees pay for every skill error.	6

10	StK	Closely attended by Geary.	4

19	WCE	Booted three goals and gave the Eagles constant problems.	6
