Ollie WINES

2017 Digest:   Struggled at times last year, but final six weeks were massive. Trained the house down and looks ready for a big year.

2017 NAB Cup:  

2017 Season

1	Syd	Expect nothing less than a wire-to-wire effort highlighted by 33 disposals and nine clearances.	8
2	Frem	Best on ground performance, winning contested possessions, clearances and kicking goals.	9
3	Adel	Easily Port’s best for the game and season so far, this could be the year he elevates himself to greatness.	8
4	GWS	Just the two clearances to go with his 19 possessions. Not his best outing this year but tried hard.	6
5	Carl	Went head to head with Patrick Cripps, and had more contributions from his teammates which got on the end of his grunt work.	8
6	Bris	Reasonably well held and quite inefficient with his disposals, going at 50%.	4
7	WCE	Down from previous weeks, copped two heavy knocks, one on the leg and the other across the head in a bruising tackle.	6
8	GCS	Provided the grunt work in middle without being at his absolute best. Still a good contributor.	7
9		Bye.
10	Geel	Superb effort highlight eight tackles six clearances 31 disposals. Can he win the Brownlow – certainly in the mix.	9
11	Haw	Not best game for the year but provided some run and was tough in and around the ball. Highlight was 10 clearances.	7
12	Ess	Okay start, then hobbled in second term with knee issue, but returned. Tried, but not his best.	6
13	Bris	Port Adelaide’s best with two goals from four attempts, gave off two more goals and had six inside-50’s.	8
14	Coll	Despite having left knee tapped like Moss Trooper he was all over the place with 23 possessions and seven inside-50s.	8
15	Rich	Hard to be critical when you when you win ten clearances but looked tired in the second half.	7
16	WCE	Hard at the footy. Won eight clearances among his 28 touches and one goal.	8
17	NM	Great performance in his milestone game with seven clearances, three inside-50’s and a goal.	7
18	Melb	Went head to head with Viney and worked hard. His mate had the better of the duel though.	6
19	StK	Solid on ball and in attack. Good even game across four quarters.	6
20	Adel	Won eight clearances and two inside-50’s, but not enough to hurt the Crows midfield.	6
21	Coll	Could be in trouble with a bump against Tom Langdon, apart from that led from the front with nine clearances and a goal.	8
22	WB	Won plenty of the pill in midfield battle and relished the cold conditions. Nine clearances.	8
23	GCS	Won 16 contested possessions, the highest of any player on the ground.	8
EF	WCE	Just one kick in the first half but then got the motor pumping and was very good in final stanza.	7
