2017 Digest:   Third-year forward looking for a breakout year. Training been solid and despite copping knock vs Tigers will play vs Lions.

2017 NAB Cup:  

2017 Season

1	GWS	Too slick for Adam Tomlinson but left the game late with an accidental head knock from a teammate	7
2	Haw	Hardly sighted opening half (one effective disposals) then lifted. Kicked 1.3 and did look dangerous in the air.	5
3	Port	Looked out of sorts and limped off with a hamstring injury in the last term.	4
4		Hamstring.
5		Hamstring.
6		Hamstring.
7		Hamstring.
8		Hamstring.
9		Hamstring.
10		Hamstring.
11		Hamstring.
12		Hamstring.
13		Bye.
14	SANFL	Kicked one goal but battled to find any consistent rhythm or space.	–
15	Carl	Great addition to the Crows forward line, got one goal for himself and handed over two others.	5
16	WB	His confidence and high marking are back, could be the Crows x-factor come finals time.	6
17	Melb	Two first-half goals and was a handful for the Dees defenders. Quiet second half, but damage was done.	5
18	Geel	Took one hanger and looked lively at times lurking inside forward 50. Missed two chances at goal from nine possessions.	3
19	Coll	Four games for the match, three in the pivotal third term and one after the siren to snatch the draw. Unbelievable game.	8
20	Port	Last week he was the hero, this week he couldn’t get anywhere near it. The beauty of the Crows forward line, too many to stop.	4
21	Ess	Big presence in forward line with vice-like hands in forward line which raised three goals.	6
22	Syd	The Crows best forward with four goals and two goal assists.	8
23	WCE	Kicked two goals but only had six disposals.	5
QF	GWS	Went one-handed in a few contests when two were required. Big mark late and had some handy touches.	4
PF		Hamstring.
GF		Hamstring.

2016 Season

1	NM	First-gamer took a nice mark and got into good spots but wasted chances late.	3
2	Port	Two goals from four attempts a just reward for the second-gamer.	6
3	Rich	Eye-catching with his athleticism at times. Kicked a goal and competed well.	5
4	Syd	Has X-factor about him, booted two goals, one from outside 50, the other class.	5
5	Haw	Kicked two goals and did a few things, but needs a bigger output.	4
6	Frem	Went off with what appeared to be a serious knee injury, only to return uninjured.	3
7	WB	Struggled to get into game up forward. Flew for marks but never looked like dragging one in.	2
8	Geel	Two goals, one special after turning Taylor inside out in the third term.	5
9	GCS	Flew under the radar and booted three goals.	6
10	GWS	Struggling to make consistent impact despite a big goal after the three-quarter time siren.	4
11	StK	Clunked five contested marks but missed three set shots on goal.	5
12	WCE	Not his night.	3
14	NM	Keeping up his goal a game average, would like to see him contribute more.	5
15	Melb	Couple of ripping marks and two goals. Got some X factor about his play.	4
16	Carl	Used at half back early then released forward late. Quiet game. Four kicks.	1
17	Coll	Treading water at the minute, needs a big game soon.	4
18	Geel	Horror night. Didn’t have first possession until third term. One effective disposal.	1
19	Ess	Four goals from five attempts, his best effort at the elite level. Best is yet to come.	7
20		Rested.
21	Frem	Quiet and didn’t kick well.	3
22	Port	Kicked three goals from five attempts, one late in the match to calm the nerves.	7
23	WCE	On the wrong end of a crunching tackle from brother Jeremy, who he lined up on.	4
EF	NM	Quiet one. Three marks and six kicks. Will he retain a spot?	2
SF	Syd	Couple of nice goals and certainly not the worst despite modest numbers.	5
