2016 Season

Played for : Brisbane

1		Played in NEAFL trial against Gold Coast.
2	NEAFL	Hardly sighted in 20-goal flogging. Not a great start to the season.	–

4	NEAFL	Came into the game a bit more in second half after a quiet start.	–
5	NEAFL	Kicked 1.2 but showed a bit more than he did last week.	–
6	NEAFL	Wasn’t the ideal conditions few big men but had no impact.	–
7	NEAFL	Bye.	–
8	NEAFL	Used in defence this week and was OK without starring. Took seven marks.	–

10		Had more of the footy in one game than he’s nearly had all year. Eight marks too.
11	NEAFL	Under pressure down back but did fairly well at times. Had eight rebounds.	–
12	NEAFL	OK again down back and showing signs of growth as a player.	–
13	NEAFL	Rarely wasted a disposal in the back half and took a team-high 16 marks. Improving.	–
14	Rich	Learning experience for the debutant in the back half. Nerves settled by final term.	3
16	GCS	Hands full in defence with Wright late, found the going tough.	3
17	GWS	In only his third game, he started on Lobb and never looked comfortable.	4
18	Ess	Had Laverde match-up for long periods and was fair. Still learning game at top level.	4
19	Port	Could not find his way into the game and finished with four disposals.	2
20	Adel	Unsighted in his sixth AFL game, poor display but wasn’t alone.	3
21	Carl	Started on Silvagni who had one disposal in first term. Didn’t get too many touches himself though.	4
22	Geel	Just the three kicks down back and had very little impact on flow of the game.	3
23	StK	Had an educational stint on Riewoldt which he won’t forget in a hurry.	2
