Position: |
2017 Digest: Has now transitioned from a handy little small forward into a quality midfielder. Quick, clean hands a feature. Super against Melbourne first up.
2017 NAB Cup:
2017 Season
1 | Coll | A heap of quick touches (15 handballs) and tackles (seven) but it was hard work on the inside against Pie mids. | 5 |
2 | Syd | Beavered away to win 14 contested possessions and five clearances. Did plenty of the grunt work around the ball. | 7 |
3 | Frem | Had a team high 31 possessions. Threw himself at contests. | 7 |
4 | NM | Burrowed in all day to be among the best for the victors. Six tackles, two great goals and 32 touches. | 8 |
5 | Bris | Strong effort highlighted by eight tackles, five inside-50s and 28 possessions. Not his best but influence was a key. | 7 |
6 | GWS | This guy just doesn’t play bad games and again topped disposal count for Dogs with 27. Didn’t hit scoreboard which was telling. | 7 |
7 | Rich | Busy and creative as usual and always prepared to work back into defence. | 8 |
8 | WCE | Lifted after half-time and became an important player. | 6 |
9 | Geel | Steady without starring. Nine tackles and four inside-50s. Didn’t hit the scoreboard but played his role. | 6 |
10 | StK | Was everywhere in the last quarter and although efficiency wasn’t at the usual high rate he was an important part of the win. | 7 |
11 | Bye. | ||
12 | Syd | Rattled by a knee to the head in third term but soldiered on and was one who can hold his head up. | 6 |
13 | Melb | Battled hard but fact he laid only one tackle, six kicks and gained just 161 metres tells a story. | 5 |
14 | NM | Busy terrier around the ball but first half superior to second; 26 disposals, one goal but just 131 metres gained. | 6 |
15 | WCE | Not overly influential from his forward flank though nothing wrong with work-rate (21 possessions, seven tackles). | 6 |
16 | Adel | Big last term with seven disposals and a goal, very quiet prior to that. | 5 |
17 | Carl | Little man grabbed 28 possessions, six inside-50s and two clearances. Busy effort to help keep wheels turning. | 7 |
18 | GCS | Lively little customer who got the ball well and bobbed up with two goals. Good contribution. | 7 |
19 | Ess | Great start and kept it going to be a terrier all day; 23 possessions, four tackles and five inside-50s. Handy effort. | 7 |
20 | Bris | Damaging early. Text book front-and-square crumbing to kick first quarter goal. Solid in last term when Dogs’ came home strongly. | 7 |
21 | GWS | Four effective disposals in first half and was quiet for the rest of the night. Very little impact. | 3 |
22 | Port | Rotated through midfield and attack. Lots of ball, but kick/handball ratio terribly out of whack. | 6 |
23 | Haw | Got battered around but kept fighting for 19 touches. Only laid one tackle for the night and three inside-50s. | 5 |
2016 Season
1 | Frem | Energetic effort as to be expected across half forward and through midfield. | 6 |
2 | StK | A tackling machine (13 tackles) but didn’t have a great night with ball in hand. | 5 |
3 | Haw | A game high 32 touches including a team-high seven clearances and two goals. | 8 |
4 | Carl | Four tackles, four inside-50s and steady ball use a feature of a steady game without starring. | 6 |
5 | Bris | Got the Dogs first goal and played mostly in attack. A hard worker throughout. | 7 |
6 | NM | Quieter than usual in first half. Lifted after main break. | 6 |
7 | Adel | Led side’s disposal count and had five clearances, seven inside-50s and five tackles. | 8 |
8 | Melb | Run and link through the middle was handy and won the ball in tight situations. | 7 |
9 | GWS | Among the best. Strong in close with 12 contested possessions and five tackles. | 7 |
10 | Coll | Big first quarter in the middle and racked up a swag of touches. | 7 |
11 | WCE | Bored in and while he didn’t star offered something to the cause. Five inside-50s. | 6 |
12 | Port | Did not return after quarter time after injuring his medial ligament in his left knee. | 4 |

19 | Geel | Great effort in first game for two months. Five tackles, four inside-50s. | 7 |
20 | NM | Busy and creative around the field and maintained a consistent output. | 6 |
21 | Coll | Tracked by Adams and on top early. Strong game. | 7 |
22 | Ess | Matched on McKenna at start. OK but stats flattering. | 5 |
23 | Frem | Had 31 disposals but 24 were handballs. Still looking for his run. | 6 |
EF | WCE | Huge effort. Won the ball at will and, when he didn’t, tackled like his life depended on it. | 9 |
SF | Haw | Good ball winner but caught by Rioli in great tackle. Huge third quarter was vital. | 7 |
PF | GWS | Tireless worker for all four quarters and never stopped running. | 8 |
GF | Syd | Always busy around the ball and tackled strongly. A vital contribution. | 7 |
2015 Season
1 | WCE | Huge first half netted two goals and 15 disposals then Nelson quelled him. | 7 |
2 | Rich | Won 10 contested possessions and used the ball well. | 6 |
3 | Haw | Has developed his game with more flexibility around field and was good. | 6 |
4 | Adel | Started in middle on Douglas. Pivotal in big start and had excellent game. | 7 |
5 | Syd | Disposal off at times but a terrier-like effort. Kept ball moving forward. | 7 |
6 | StK | OK numbers but was fairly quiet. Needs to do more when heat is on. | 5 |
7 | Frem | Had to roam up ground to get early touches and got better as game wore on. | 6 |
8 | Melb | Worked hard to give his side a lift with run and pressure. Tried hard. | 7 |
9 | GWS | Again in great touch on ball and in attack. Now a quality consistent player. | 7 |
10 | Port | Big first half but curtailed in the second half by Impey. | 6 |
12 | Bris | Hanley was matched on him at start. Won ball inside and outside packs. | 7 |
13 | StK | Kept well in check by Geary. | 5 |
14 | Carl | Early goal but hampered by knock to leg for much of the night. | 5 |
15 | GCS | Played his role as a small forward/midfielder. Two goals and 23 touches. | 7 |
16 | Geel | Huge game. Eight inside-50s, four clearances, a goal and 13 CPs. | 9 |
17 | Coll | Plenty of footy in midfield and pressing forward. Key contributor. | 7 |
18 | Ess | Not as good as he can be but flitted in and out. Three inside-50s. | 6 |
19 | Port | 10 touches in second term, running into some good form ahead of finals. | 8 |
20 | Melb | In everything from the outset and left Dees’ for dead with speed and enthusiasm. | 8 |
21 | WCE | Had plenty of the ball but no real impact. | 5 |
22 | NM | Slow start but then stepped up his output. | 6 |
23 | Bris | Heads into September in great form. | 8 |
EF | Adel | Picked up plenty of ball in first half and still effective later. | 8 |
2014 Season
1 | WCE | Bennell had the better of him. No goals but workrate was there. | 5 |
2 | NM | Splendid display marred by shoddy kicking at the big sticks. 1.3 should’ve been 4.0. | 6 |
3 | Rich | Kept quiet by Morris early. Kicked ripper goal. | 4 |
4 | Calf. | ||
5 | Carl | Very active in forward half and was a goalkicking threat. | 7 |
6 | Adel | Quiet first half but came alive after main break. Late poster will haunt him. | 5 |
7 | Ess | The Dogs’ best with 32 disposals and 2.2. Was fantastic. | 8 |
8 | Melb | Huge around the ball but had to come well up the ground for a touch. | 7 |
10 | GCS | Worked hard in the front half but had little support after half time. | 6 |
11 | Frem | Wasted the ball. Kicked a late goal. | 4 |
12 | Bris | Had Mayes for company playing forward. Zipped about but not hat his best. | 4 |
13 | Coll | Influential with 29 touches and three score assists. | 7 |
14 | Port | Copped a heavy hit late in the game from Broadbent. | 5 |
15 | Melb | Lively in attacking half and gave the Dogs what the Dees lacked – crumbs. | 7 |
16 | Geel | Varcoe kept him from being dangerous. One goal but effectiveness down. | 5 |
17 | GCS | Always dangerous forward of the ball but didn’t convert his chances – 1.3. | 6 |
18 | Ess | Caused issues in third term with his run. Two goals and some handy work. | 6 |
19 | Haw | Matched on Burgoyne for part of the game. Active and dangerous. | 5 |
20 | StK | Mixed bag and only two shots went wide. | 4 |
21 | NM | Had a good contest with Atley and both did their bit. | 5 |
22 | Syd | Buzzed about in front half with Smith trailing him. Not the worst. | 5 |
23 | GWS | Worked up from forward half into midfield but didn’t hit the scoreboard. | 5 |

2013 Season
1 | Bris | In everything early with creativity and pace. Looked to hurt hip late but OK. | 5 |
2 | Frem | Dangerous in another lively performance – three goals and four tackles. | 7 |
3 | Rich | Well contained and was a spectator for most of the match. | 3 |
4 | Adel | Ran into an open goal and from a metre out hit the post. | 3 |
5 | Geel | Had Enright/T. Hunt for company and was handy enough without starring. | 6 |
6 | WCE | Closely attended by Brennan. Stats flattered him. | 5 |
7 | NM | Busy little forward who maintained output. | 6 |
8 | GCS | Looked dangerous at times but didn't really impact as he would have liked. | 5 |
9 | StK | Not especially prominent but kicked a goal to give the Dogs a spark. | 4 |
10 | Port | Buzzed around and attacked the ball hard but again not overly influential. | 4 |
12 | Coll | Sinclair picked him up. Rarely able to break clear. | 4 |
13 | Rich | A mere spectator for much of night. Needs to find form fast. | 3 |
14 | Melb | Found it tough to elude close-checking opponents. Goaled to get things going. | 5 |
15 | GWS | Typically busy, the maturing youngster had a big say in the outcome. | 7 |
16 | Ess | Started quietly but worked into game for three goals. Missed crucial one late. | 6 |
17 | Haw | Busy game, needs to take advantage of scoring opportunities. | 5 |
18 | WCE | Huge game – four goals, 16 cont poss, seven inside-50s and six tackles. | 9 |
19 | Syd | Steady contributor without being dominant. | 5 |
20 | Carl | Gave the Dogs a spark each time they needed it. Two goals to go with 11 tackles. | 7 |
21 | Adel | Kept working for one goal but was not in space a hole lot most of the day. | 5 |
22 | Bris | Kicked 3.2 and won 14 cont poss in a fine effort for a nippy half forward. | 7 |
23 | Melb | Hit post with goal of day effort on run from 30m under pressure from Jetta in first. | 5 |

2012 Season
1 | WCE | Dangerous around the ball and used his pace well. Kicked two goals. | 7 |
2 | Adel | His speed and evasive skills were a highlight. | 6 |
3 | StK | Good in first half but had no-one to kick to. Tapered after half time. | 5 |
4 | Melb | Always presented a threat with his pace off mark and quick hands inside. | 8 |
5 | GWS | Ran harder after a quiet first half, kicked two goals. | 6 |
6 | Coll | Started with dashing first quarter, but then had little impact. | 4 |
7 | NM | Found other ways to help team (16 cont. Poss) than goals. Ran hard. | 7 |
8 | GCS | Had 16 touches but chased and tackled like a terrier. | 6 |
9 | Geel | Zip and vision in traffic was first rate – three clearances, seven inside 50s. | 7 |
10 | Syd | Blanketed by Rhyce Shaw early and never got going. | 2 |
12 | Port | Pushed hard up ground to create run. Did a few good things but not massive. | 6 |
13 | Bris | Nippy early but faded out of game when Lions started to get right on top. | 6 |
14 | Ess | Came off bench in first minute. Beaverish rover but didn’t break it open. | 6 |
15 | Frem | Lively. Booted two goals and gave the team some life. | 7 |
16 | Haw | Quiet day. Hawks were able to close down his space all match. | 3 |
17 | Carl | Career-best four goals in terrific performance. Should’ve kicked five, though. | 7 |
18 | StK | Tackling pressure good but little life around goal. Quiet second half. | 4 |
