2017 Digest:   Development steady and looks to have improved from last year. Spending more time through the middle.

2017 NAB Cup:  

2017 Season

1	Frem	Kicked goal of the day after three bounces along the wing. Pressure good despite modest stats.	4
2		Hand.
3		Hand.
4	Haw	Impacted the game when he went near the ball and showcased his hardness. Six tackles and a goal good reward.	6
5	StK	Quiet until late in game when came to life with a couple of goals. Got feisty with a few Saints including Riewoldt/Carlisle.	3
6	Coll	First goal of game then couldn’t get into the contest at all. Tried to be physical with a few Pies but it backfired.	2
7	GCS	Struggled. Looked better when given a run in the midfield but impact overall wasn’t huge. Six effective disposals.	2
8	Ess	Didn’t have a huge impact but at least played with some aggression. Had a quarter of Cats tackles in first three quarters.	3
9	WB	Set up early Blicavs goals then pinged a hamstring before quarter time and night was done.	1
10		Hamstring.
11	Adel	Gave away a silly 50-metre penalty that cost a goal. Quiet one with three effective disposals but did lay seven tackles.	3
12		Bye.
13	WCE	Kicked first goal in opening 90 seconds and then suffered injury soon after and was done for the day.	1
14		Hamstring.
15		Hamstring.
16		Hamstring.
17		Hamstring.
18		Hamstring.
19	Carl	First-quarter goal and had three on the board until pinged a hamstring in final term. Disaster for the kid.	6
20		Hamstring.
21		Hamstring.
22		Hamstring.
23		Hamstring.
QF		Hamstring.
SF		Hamstring.
PF	Adel	Kicked team’s first goal and that was about. Got through the game, which was the ironic positive.	3

2016 Season

1		Suspended.
2		Suspended.
3	Bris	One great passage of play set up a Guthrie goal but otherwise hardly sighted.	1
4	Ess	Laid eight brutal tackles and pressure first class. Among the best.	7
5	Port	Kicked a second-term goal and took a nice mark. Modest stats but all good experience.	3
6	GCS	From limited chances kicked three goals. Seems to be getting more confident with game time.	5
7	WCE	Injured leg early and while returned looked severely hampered. Kicked one goal late.	3
8		Knee.
9		Knee.
10		Knee.
11		Knee.
12		Knee.
13		Knee.
14	VFL	Played second half only (14 disp) and buzzed about in good return from injury.	–
15	VFL	Bye.	–
16	Syd	Some of what he tried didn’t come off but at least gave a spark at times.	5
17	Frem	Caught trying to do too much at times but kicked a goal and laid three tackles.	4
18	Adel	One goal and a score assist from six kicks. Flashed in and out.	4
19	WB	Couple of things he did provided a glimpse into the future. He’ll be a star.	4
20	Ess	Snagged two goals but at times tried to do too much. Four inside-50s.	5
21		Knee.
22		Knee.

2015 Season

1	Haw	First-gamer couldn’t find any space to use his x-factor. Great experience.	2
2	Frem	Sub. On third term but failed to have a kick.	0
3	GCS	Sub. On early to replace Bartel. Five disposals in final term were handy.	3
4	NM	Kid found the footy elusive but his physicality continues to stand out.	2
5	VFL	Back in form after AFL axing. 22 touches, one goal.	–
6	Coll	Sub. Sealed win with a brilliant snap goal… and celebration to match.	3
7		Rested.
8	VFL	Burst in and out a few times but was subdued by Port.	–
9		Adductor.
10		Adductor.
11	VFL	Quiet on return with 11 possessions, goal.	–
12		Senior emergency.
13	VFL	Bye.	–
14		Adductor.
15	VFL	Ran well off half back on return from injury.	–
16	VFL	Ran off half back at times to moderate effect.	–
17		Just nine touches and wasn’t a big factor.
18	Bris	Sub. On for a run in final term down back. Couple of touches.	1
19	Syd	Still playing junior footy. Unlikely to stay in team but great experience.	2
20	Haw	Sub. One nice running goal and should have jagged another.	1
21	StK	Sub. On to start second half. Set one goal up and kicked another late.	2
22	Coll	Made mistakes but got to love the way he attacks the game.	5
23	Adel	Excited and frustrated. Needs to work on his short kicking over summer.	3
