2017 Digest: How will abolishment of third-man up affect the Cat? Battled knee injury Jan/Feb but played opening two JLT matches.
2017 NAB Cup:
2017 Season
1 | Frem | Struggled to get into the game for long periods. Handy enough when opposed to Fyfe around stoppages. | 4 |
2 | NM | Got going late in second term but overall he was only a bit player; 14 effective disposals and three tackles. | 4 |
3 | Melb | Huge first term (10 disposals, 2 goals) then he went as cold until term when had five touches. | 6 |
4 | Haw | Quiet first half (one kick) and theme continued until copped shin injury in second half and was taken off the ground. | 3 |
5 | StK | Five effective disposals in first half and theme continued. Opened up a butcher shop at one stage he was so poor. | 2 |
6 | Coll | Another poor day in the middle. At some point coaching staff will work out he can’t play midfield to save himself; 9 eff disposals. | 2 |
7 | GCS | At some point he has to find his way back to the VFL. Thrashed in ruck and had four kicks for the night. | 1 |
8 | Ess | Copped a knee injury but to that point was a non-factor for third week in a row. Playing midfield he had four kicks, no tackles. | 1 |
9 | WB | Much better effort without starring; 18 possessions but only nine were effective. Four tackles, one clearance. | 4 |
10 | Port | Played best game for some time. Hands were cleaner and marked the ball well at times; 19 disposals and five inside-50s. One goal. | 7 |
11 | Adel | Tagged Sloane and won the battle comprehensively. Had 18 disposals himself and kept Sloane to 23 nondescript touches. | 7 |
12 | Bye. | ||
13 | Soreness. | ||
14 | Frem | Won a bit of the ball (21 disposals) but a number failed to got the target. Nine tackles and three clearances. | 5 |
15 | GWS | Battled super hard all night. Six tackles and kept pushing the team forward all night; 17 disposals. | 7 |
16 | Bris | Proved to be a mis-match for the Lions. Kicked three goals and easily had the better of Lester and Bastinac. | 7 |
17 | Haw | Went to Mitchell after quarter time but had trouble containing him. Quiet offensively with 16 possessions. | 5 |
18 | Adel | Battled hard when others were struggling until injured knee in third term and did not return. | 5 |
19 | Ankle. | ||
20 | Ankle. | ||
21 | Ankle. | ||
22 | Ankle. | ||
23 | GWS | Good effort first-up after injury. Didn’t make any mistakes and got better the longer the game went. | 5 |
QF | Rich | Horrid first half and successfully continued the theme in second half; nine effective disposals and four tackles. | 3 |
SF | Syd | Disposal efficiency down but workrate high and stopped Kennedy. Laid 14 tackles. | 7 |
PF | Adel | Struggled. Fumbled, looked slow and was hammered in his midfield match up. | 2 |
2016 Season
1 | Haw | Monster effort in the middle highlighted by 10 contested possessions. | 7 |
2 | GWS | Among best with two second-term goals and six tackles. Output stout all afternoon. | 7 |
3 | Bris | Steady contributor with four inside-50s and a goal. Handy. | 6 |
4 | Ess | Quiet one by his standards. One inside-50 and one clearance. | 4 |
5 | Port | Laid 12 tackles and that kept him involved in the game. Three inside-50s and three clearances. | 5 |
6 | GCS | Played a secondary role but still contributed five clearances and six inside-50s. | 7 |
7 | WCE | Played supporting roles to others and did that OK without starring. Ten tackles. | 6 |
8 | Adel | Hardly sighted in opening half (five disp). Did lift in second half – 11 tackles. | 5 |
9 | Coll | Quiet one. Always under pressure with everything he did but kept trying. | 5 |
10 | Carl | Tagged Cripps in first half and OK in that role. Struggled second half. | 3 |
11 | GWS | Relieved of tagging duties to grab four clearances. Only four kicks and no inside-50s. | 5 |
12 | NM | Better effort highlighted by four clearances. Did make one horrible mistake but handy. | 6 |
13 | WB | Shadowed Bontempelli for parts of the night and handy in that role. Twelve tackles. | 6 |
14 | StK | Couple of poor turnovers dampened his impact. One inside-50, one clearance. | 5 |
16 | Syd | Run of outs continues. Rarely got near it and might be due for a spell in VFL. | 3 |
17 | Frem | Struggled again. Five kicks and on current trajectory is heading to VFL. | 2 |
18 | Adel | Struggles continue but worked into game late. Decision-making improved. | 5 |
19 | WB | Struggled throughout. Decision-making is way off and indecisive. | 3 |
20 | Ess | Won more ball than recent weeks and while not at best it was a step the right way. | 6 |
21 | Rich | At some point his name has to come up at selection. Lifted late but struggling. | 3 |
22 | Bris | One inside-50 and one goal but form still a big concern. Looks uncertain. | 4 |
23 | Melb | Best game since early in season. Clean hands and impact a highlight. | 7 |
QF | Haw | Mixed good and bad. Still uncertain with ball use but did lay six tackles. | 5 |
PF | Syd | Seemed indecisive and looked out of his depth. | 2 |
2015 Season
1 | Haw | Solid all day slipping back into defence and among the Cats’ better players. | 6 |
2 | Frem | Battled hard in defence. One of few Cats to play consistently in both losses. | 6 |
3 | GCS | Started in defence then thrown into the midfield in second half and did well. | 7 |
4 | NM | Great first term (11 disposals) then Roos able to restrict his influence. | 6 |
5 | Rich | Celebrated 50th game with a solid game. Third-man-up work solid. | 6 |
6 | Coll | Gets better and better through midfield – 15 contested possessions. | 8 |
7 | Syd | Beaten in then middle by Kennedy among others but still gave something. | 6 |
8 | Carl | Continues to surprise. Won 16 contested possessions, seven clearances. | 8 |
9 | WCE | Not as prolific as previous weeks. Had to ruck solo for entire second half. | 5 |
10 | Ess | Took ruck duties but most effective around the ground. Among best. | 7 |
11 | Port | Tackled hard and a presence around the ball. Played a role. | 6 |
12 | Melb | Among better Cats with six clearances and 13 tackles. Played with intensity. | 8 |
15 | NM | Struggled in first half then did lift but short of best. Two inside-50s. | 5 |
16 | WB | Work around the ground troubled Campbell and was a key performer. | 7 |
17 | GWS | Possession count down but handy in the ruck with seven hit-outs to advantage. | 5 |
18 | Bris | Great first half helped set up lead. Able to hurt Lions with his run. | 6 |
19 | Syd | Won ruck battle with his athleticism. Five clearances and 20 hit-outs. | 7 |
20 | Haw | Matched Hale/McEvoy in the ruck but not huge around the ground. | 5 |
21 | StK | Not really a factor at any stage. Two inside-50s and no clearances. | 3 |
22 | Coll | Tried hard and one of the better Cats. Could win best and fairest. | 7 |
23 | Adel | No match for Jacobs in ruck. Played one of his quieter games of year. | 4 |

1 | Adel | Sub. On midway through third term and grabbed six disposals. | 2 |
2 | Bris | Ran well and attacked the ball well throughout. Solid effort playing everywhere. | 6 |
3 | Coll | Sub. Missed two gettable chances that would have helped his cause. | 2 |
4 | WCE | Had some good moments. Nothing flashy but played a small role. | 4 |
5 | Haw | Off a wing and drifted forward but didn’t win enough ball to impact. | 3 |
6 | Port | Work-rate good but has to get himself into more dangerous positions. | 4 |
7 | Rich | Sub. Limited influence when swung into the ruck in final term. | 1 |
9 | Frem | Next phase of development is to use endurance to find ball in space. | 3 |
10 | NM | Sub. On to start second term and played as a deep defender on Daw. | 6 |
11 | Syd | Only real positive for Cats. Took seven marks and mopped up down back. | 7 |
12 | Carl | Pinch-hit in the ruck and also used in defence. Handy first half then faded. | 5 |

19 | NM | Stats not huge but with every minute he plays his career moves forward. | 5 |
20 | Frem | Did some good things around the footy but no match in the ruck. | 5 |
21 | Carl | Easily in the best. Ran Wood into ground and got into dangerous positions. | 7 |
22 | Haw | Another strong effort. Starting to get into better positions to win the ball. | 6 |
23 | Bris | Quiet game after a big month. Just three kicks and rarely dangerous. | 4 |
QF | Haw | Rose to occasion with a solid performance but did find Hill tough when on him. | 6 |
SF | NM | Well beaten in the ruck and failed to get hand to ball around the ground. | 3 |
