Nathan KRAKOUER

2017 Digest:   Looked to have established himself in the back half early last year but form waned. Moved forward in pre-season. Suspended for Round 1.

2017 NAB Cup:  

2017 Season

Played for : Port Adelaide

1		Suspended.
2		–
3	SANFL	Laid seven tackles but was a bit in and out of the contest.	–
4	SANFL	Looked good at times in the close win over Norwood but is capable of more.	–
5		Finger.
6	SANFL	Spectacular. Jagged five majors including a magical contender for goal of the year.	–
7		Foot.
8		Foot.
9		Foot.
10		Heel.
11	SANFL	Set up the play in attack with style, racking up nine inside 50s to cut the Panthers to ribbons.	–
12	SANFL	Not quite back to his best yet. One of the few Port players to not dominate.	–
13	SANFL	Could only muster nine touches. A poor outing.	–
14	SANFL	Bye.	–
15	SANFL	Booted an early major but was very quiet otherwise. At the crossroads.	–
16	SANFL	Overcame a poor first half with a lively second half, including some crunching tackles and decisive defensive plays.	–
17	SANFL	His fourth-quarter goal sparked port’s mini-revival. Not many touches but looks dangerous whenever he gets it.	–
18	SANFL	Mercurial as ever. Slotted two goals and was very slippery at times.	–
19		Bye.
20	SANFL	Kicked a goal but otherwise struggled again. Doesn’t look AFL match-fit.	–
21	SANFL	Back to his creative, slick best, kicking six goals. Maybe he will get one more AFL chance.	–
22	SANFL	Showcased his full array of tricks. Booted two goals including an amazing long-range bomb in the last term.	–
23	SANFL	Booted 1.2 and pulled down a fine mark. Was patchy otherwise.	–
EF	SANFL	Drilled two first-quarter majors before injuring his hamstring and sitting out the second half.	–

2016 Season

Played for : Port Adelaide

1		Jaw.
2	SANFL	Broken jaw.	–
3		Jaw.
4		Jaw.
5	SANFL	Kicked a goal and ball use was efficient in return from injury.	–
6	Rich	Back after injury/suspension and was ultra composed and clean with ball. They’ve missed him.	7
7	Bris	His return from suspension has released Impey to play up forward.	5
8	Carl	On and off the ground having back/hamstring worked on. Steady with ball in hand in defence.	4
9	WCE	His breakneck speed was scintillating at times, more consistency needed.	7
10	Melb	Steady in defensive half and even pushed forward for a goal. Composure is key.	6
11	Coll	Sat in back half and helped set up Port counter-attacks. Provides a cool head.	5
12	WB	Did the job on Stringer for three quarters until the game opened up.	7
13	Frem	Solid defensive job. Also found his share of the ball.	6
15	Rich	Four rebound-50s and a goal-saving slide in the last term.	5
16	Haw	Reading of the play and kicking from defence is elite.	7
17	SANFL	Booted a goal and had his moments after surprizing axing.	–
18	SANFL	Bye.	–
19	Bris	Used his speed brilliantly and played the perfect link man off half back.	6
20	Syd	Struggled a bit defensively early, but pressed forward to hit the scoreboard and got a bit of ball.	5
21	Melb	Pushed forward in desperation in the third term and bobbed up for a goal.	3
22	Adel	Struggling to make an impact in the game, highlights are few and far between.	4
23	GCS	Reliable in defence, made good decisions with the footy.	5

2015 Season

Played for : Port Adelaide

1		–
2	SANFL	Slick and classy. Had 23 possessions and two first-half goals.	–
3	NM	Impressed as a running defender, then up forward on return to big time.	6
4	Haw	His pace and kicking efficiency is just what Ken Hinkley loves.	6
5	Adel	Serviceable.	4
6	WCE	Electrifying at times with his composure.	6
7	Bris	Spells on Rich and Robinson with little effect though good in general play.	6
8	Rich	Subbed out at three-quarter time after no impact on the game.	4
9	Melb	Sub. On very late in fourth term and had minimal input.	1
10	SANFL	Responded positively to AFL demotion. Especially dazzling early.	–
11	SANFL	Defensive rebound was good and his third-term goal was a blinder.	–
12	Carl	Used down back without great success then pushed forward late for a goal.	5
14	Syd	Two goals a handy return given he spent a lot of night in defence. OK.	6
15	SANFL	Sizzled at times. Looked a class above in wet, wintry conditions.	–
16	Adel	Returned to the side and more than serviceable.	5
17		Hamstring.
18		Hamstring.
19	SANFL	Blitzed North with three goals, 19 possessions in return from injury.	–
20	GWS	Saw limited time after starting as the sub.	2
