2017 Season
Played for : Hawthorn
1 | Suspended. | ||
2 | Adel | In for first game of the season and while work-rate solid he didn’t impact. Got caught a number of times. | 5 |
3 | GCS | Set up a couple of good attacking thrusts, although was caught out on occasions in defence. | 5 |
4 | Geel | Former skipper rose to challenge in an attempt to lead the team. Got hit hard a few times but kept plucking away. | 8 |
5 | WCE | Couple of bad turnovers early but made up for them over the remaining quarters. Leadership was evident. | 6 |
6 | StK | Tried to get loose in defence but was under the pump. Went into midfield in second half and battled bravely. | 6 |
7 | Melb | Old-timer turned back the clock at times with his vision and creativity with ball in hand. Does what’s needed when needed. | 8 |
8 | Bris | Loving the halfback/quarterback role right now. Another strong effort with 20 disposals, 17 kicks and 85 per cent efficiency. | 7 |
9 | Coll | Played quarter-back role in usual physical style, mixing it with De Goey. Showed unsociable side in late altercation. | 5 |
10 | Syd | Asserted himself physically early, then freed up in back half. Good without being great. | 6 |
11 | Port | Former skipper never able to control the game from behind the ball. Got frustrated at times but still won ball 27 times. | 6 |
12 | Groin. | ||
13 | Bye. | ||
14 | Adel | Spent the entire second half unmarked directing traffic, great captain’s game marshalling the troops. | 7 |
15 | Coll | Patrolled half back army-general style. Got in the road so often it caused the Magpies no end of trouble. | 8 |
16 | GWS | Marshalled the troops and lead well. Kept Sicily in check when he gave some lip. Seven marks and knows where the footy is going. | 7 |
17 | Geel | 300-game celebrant did all he could although had a couple of problems with Dangerfield in third term; 23 disposals. | 7 |
18 | Frem | Not your typical Hodge game but he did his job. | 6 |
19 | Syd | 23 disposals for the veteran stager, put in another strong performance in what is likely his last battle with Sydney. | 7 |
20 | Suspended. | ||
21 | NM | Started slowly and wasn’t his best kicking day, but got progressively better to continue his consistent back half of the year.. | 6 |
22 | Carl | 16 touches but wasn’t his steadying influence in defence. Battled hard. | 5 |
23 | WB | Farewell game went much the like the 304 games before it although possession count down; 14 disposals – 14 hit target. | 5 |
2016 Season
Played for : Hawthorn
1 | Geel | Quiet first half and warmed up a bit, but still didn’t have impact overall. Hurt wrist/arm late in day. | 5 |
2 | Arm. | ||
3 | Arm. | ||
4 | StK | Back early after only a few weeks out. Freed himself up as much as possible in defence. | 6 |
5 | Adel | Sound game playing that quarterback role he’s made his own. | 6 |
6 | GWS | Tweaked ankle early but then couldn’t restrict the flow of the game. | 4 |
7 | Knee. | ||
8 | Knee. | ||
9 | Knee. | ||
10 | Knee. | ||
11 | Knee. | ||
13 | Knee. | ||
14 | GCS | Skipper looked rusty as 1970’s frigate early but warmed to task. Solid second half. | 6 |
16 | Port | Masterful display, led by example and commanded his troops to perfection. | 9 |
17 | Syd | Not a huge factor at half back and outpointed by Papley at one stage. Four inside-50s. | 6 |
18 | Rich | Skipper took a backseat while others stepped up. Quiet one. | 4 |
19 | Carl | Not huge numbers but his smarts, experience and hardness was significant. | 6 |
20 | Melb | Plugged away around the ball for 20 effective disposals. Tried hard but didn’t star. | 6 |
21 | NM | Veteran kept the wheel turning to be a handy contributor behind the ball. | 7 |
22 | WCE | Hard at the ball. Tried to lift his team. | 6 |
23 | Coll | Did what was needed to be done. Key in the final minutes when game on line. | 7 |
QF | Geel | Important and combative. Reined in Cats midfield in second quarter. Played angry. | 7 |
SF | WB | Skipper did what he could all night. Two goals, eight marks ands six tackles. | 7 |
2015 Season
Played for : Hawthorn
1 | Geel | Skipper was superb. Clean hands and clearances winning ability were huge. | 8 |
2 | Ess | Had Watson early before shifting back to shore up defence in Frawley’s absence. | 7 |
3 | WB | Had a picnic. Ticked past 30 touches by mid third term and dictated all day. | 9 |
4 | Port | Finished the game well but made lots of uncharteristics errors. | 7 |
5 | NM | Lost head early when he whacked Swallow. Rebounded to be a solid contributor. | 6 |
6 | Suspended. | ||
7 | Suspended. | ||
8 | Suspended. | ||
9 | GCS | Returned after his suspension and immediately picked up the threads. | 7 |
10 | StK | Cool efficiency and class too much for Saints as game wore on. | 7 |
12 | Adel | Always in the right place at the right time, read the game perfectly. | 8 |
13 | Ess | Rare quiet one from the skipper. Couldn’t get into the contest at any point. | 3 |
14 | Coll | In the thick of it from start. Only downside when tracked Pendlebury in third. | 8 |
15 | Frem | First player to get the better of Fyfe this year. Three goals cherry on top of cake. | 9 |
16 | Syd | Great early in setting side on path and a huge player in maintaining the rage. | 8 |
17 | Carl | Got in the way and worked hard to be involved at both ends. | 8 |
18 | Rich | Played predominantly at half back. Lots of short kicks (eight). No inside-50s. | 6 |
19 | WCE | Not allowed to dictate terms in defence. | 5 |
20 | Geel | Huge. Three first-term goals and ended with four. Key touches at key times. | 8 |
21 | Port | Freed up behind ball but kicking was scrappy. Bump on Wingard will attract scrutiny. | 5 |
22 | Suspended. | ||
23 | Suspended. | ||
QF | WCE | Touched ball nine times in first half. Lifted after main break as expected. | 6 |
SF | Adel | Opening minutes set benchmark for team. Four goals, six clearances. | 8 |
PF | Frem | Skipper did the tough stuff and went back at times to shore up defence. | 7 |
GF | WCE | Potent force and led from the front all the way through. Super captain. | 8 |

3 | Groin. | ||
4 | GCS | Professional, calm and directed traffic form defence. | 7 |
5 | Geel | Influence nullified early but got going in second half to get side back into it. | 6 |
6 | Rich | Leading possession winner to half time and chugged along all day. | 7 |
7 | StK | Started in middle and had big first half then could ease back the throttle. | 7 |
8 | Back. | ||
9 | Back. | ||
10 | Port | Turned over the footy far too many times for a player of his ilk. | 6 |
11 | GWS | Marshalled troops and won some key football at critical junctures. | 7 |
12 | WCE | Superb. Pushed into the midfield and led by example. One of the best on ground. | 8 |
13 | Carl | Involved through middle of ground at times and provided a steady presence. | 7 |
14 | Coll | Typically influential around the stoppages and distributed well outside. | 7 |
15 | GCS | Irrepressible game from the captain – in his element. | 7 |
16 | NM | Never stopped trying to lift his side and get them back on level footing. | 7 |
17 | Adel | Ten clearances, seven inside-50s and laid six tackles. | 7 |
18 | Syd | Crashed and bashed around the footy. Iced game with sealing goal. | 7 |
19 | WB | Hard and unforgiving game and showed the way. | 6 |
20 | Melb | Marshalled the troops at half back until a knee in the ribs ended his afternoon. | 6 |
21 | Frem | Led well with seven tackles and 28 touches. Booming goal in the first term. | 7 |

SF | – | ||
PF | Port | Quality game by skipper capped off by late smother on Ebert. | 7 |

2013 Season
Played for : Hawthorn
1 | PM | Got through OK but looked very rusty. | – |
2 | WCE | Great return by skipper after limited preparation. Pivotal to win. | 7 |
3 | Coll | From midway through second term to final siren he was best on the ground. | 8 |
4 | Frem | Ballantyne paid him close attention and limited his impact. | 4 |
5 | NM | Not especially prominent in first half, but lifted later. | 5 |
6 | Adel | Masterful performance from Hawthorn captain, whether in midfield or defence. | 9 |
7 | Syd | On a mission from opening bounce. Played with real aggression. | 8 |
8 | GWS | Made light of Golds tagging him. Good across all four quarters. | 6 |
9 | GCS | Steady and set tone in organising backline. | 5 |
10 | Melb | Won 10 contested possessions and handy until coach iced him in third term. | 6 |
12 | Carl | Used everywhere from full back to half forward. Worked hard and had impact. | 6 |

20 | Thumb. | ||
21 | Coll | Hard edged captain set the tone early and played a fine game. | 8 |
22 | NM | Inspirational across half-back line to vie with Mitchell for best-on-ground honours. | 7 |
23 | Syd | Always at the forefront with tackling and work in packs. | 6 |
QF | Syd | Big start directing off half back – the consummate pro and finals performer. | 8 |
SF | |||
PF | Geel | Directed from defence as extra early. In his element in a hard contest. | 6 |
GF | Frem | Ultimate man you want in the trenches. Held firm at end to snuff out Dockers. | 7 |

5 | Syd | On half back line started with job on Bolton. | 4 |
6 | StK | Outstanding first quarter and a solid contributor despite corked hip. | 6 |
17 | VFL | Got through his first game back. Needed the run. | – |
18 | Ess | Looked very underdone initially but then booted five goals before subbed off. | 7 |
19 | Geel | Unhappy when he was subbed off after a very limited role. | 2 |
