2017 Digest: Reigning Brownlow medallist continues to set standards. Only missing piece is precise kicking at top pace. Can that improve?
2017 NAB Cup:
2017 Season
1 | Frem | Three goals, nine tackles, 15 contested possessions and a couple of quality contested marks. Star. | 8 |
2 | NM | Won the ball well but disposal efficiency way off target and at times it hurt the team. Last quarter he gave a huge lift. | 6 |
3 | Melb | When it had to be won he again stepped up to plate. Last term included 12 disposals, five clearances and a goal. | 8 |
4 | Haw | Copped knee to ribs early but played on. Eight clearances and five inside-50s but impact with disposals not enormous. | 7 |
5 | StK | Ribs looked sore and effectiveness well down on his usual run-and-gun productivity. Last quarter was again huge; 11 disp, 2 goals. | 7 |
6 | Coll | Quiet by his standards in first half (8 effective disposals) and even less in second. Ribs a concern as was way off? | 4 |
7 | GCS | Battled hard but again wasn’t at a level we’ve come to expect. Certainly not for lack of trying; 29 disposals, 10 clearances. | 7 |
8 | Ess | Tow goals in third term but is well below his best. Laid one tackle for the night and ended with 18 effective disposals. | 6 |
9 | WB | Five weeks removed from broken ribs (v Hawks) and they might have healed. Four brilliant first-half goals; 36 disposals. | 10 |
10 | Port | Superstar kicked three goals from 24 disposals. Final goal was the winner with a minute remaining. | 8 |
11 | Adel | Exploded against old side to end with three goals, 31 disposals, seven clearances and seven tackles. Great to watch. | 8 |
12 | Bye. | ||
13 | WCE | Battled hard all night but lacked support. Yeo did well to restrict his ability to burst away and create play. Impact didn’t match stats. | 7 |
14 | Frem | Plugged away in the midfield and in final term he lifted London Fog style to grab 11 possessions. | 8 |
15 | GWS | Monsterous effort to grab 45 disposals, including 13 clearances and six inside-50s. Last quarter effort was enormous. | 9 |
16 | Bris | Oozed class. Three goals, five scoring assists and 23 of his 38 disposals were contested possessions. Brownlow votes for sure. | 9 |
17 | Haw | Injured early so had to play permanent forward all day and ended with a lazy five goals…and six behind. | 8 |
18 | Adel | Against old side he tried hard but his effort petered out. Not sure how fit he was but certainly tried hard. | 6 |
19 | Carl | Over foot injury and started well. Pushed forward to get in behind Hawkins in second half; 23 disposals, two goals. | 7 |
20 | Suspended. | ||
21 | Rich | 30 touches, a game high 11 clearances and 8 Inside 50’s. Didn’t need to hit the scoreboard to have a big impact. | 8 |
22 | Coll | Quiet first half (10 disposals) then lifted to end with 32 and kicked a key running goal in final term; 12 clearances. | 7 |
23 | GWS | Couldn’t have done too much more; 33 disposals, five inside-50s, 10 clearances and six tackles. | 8 |
QF | Rich | Quiet first half (five effective disp) but did kick goal on halftime siren. Tried hard but impact well down; 14 effective touches. | 5 |
SF | Syd | Exploded the Cats out of the blocks with four first-half goals that proved just the tonic for the Cats. Huge influence. | 8 |
PF | Adel | Apart from second term he was never in the game; 13 effective possessions but did kick two goals. | 6 |
2016 Season
1 | Haw | Not sure there’s been a better debut in blue and white. In fact, there hasn’t. | 9 |
2 | GWS | Quiet by his lofty standards. In quarters two and three hardly sighted. | 5 |
3 | Bris | Three goals, six clearances and 17 contested possessions to be a factor all day. | 8 |
4 | Ess | Seven inside-50s, five clearances but his impact was not profound. | 6 |
5 | Port | Two goals in a minute in second term lifted team. Eight inside-50s and seven clearances. | 7 |
6 | GCS | Huge again with 17 contested possessions, five clearances, seven inside-50s and two goals. | 8 |
7 | WCE | Not his best game as a Cat but a few bursts out of the middle and seven inside-50s kept him involved. | 7 |
8 | Adel | Won plenty of the ball in close although few breakaway clearances. | 7 |
9 | Coll | Crisp slaughtered him in first half. Poor ball use continues to reduce his impact on games. | 4 |
10 | Carl | Well beaten in head-to-head battle with Gibbs. Won a lot of the ball but limited influence. | 5 |
11 | GWS | Second half efficiency improved out of sight. Team high 11 inside-50s and seven clearances. | 7 |
12 | NM | Stats off the charts – 13 clearances, 23 cont poss, 11 inside-50s and two goals. | 10 |
13 | WB | Another masterful performance with eight clearances, 12 inside-50s and two goals. | 9 |
14 | StK | Not as destructive as previous weeks but scrounged a goal and nine clearances. | 7 |
16 | Syd | Gathered 26 of his touches in first and last quarters Seven clearances, 10 inside-50s. | 7 |
17 | Frem | Huge with four goals and 31 disposals. Big factor in game. Shoulder knock. | 8 |
18 | Adel | Even first half then tempo lifted. Six clearances, 17 CPs. | 7 |
19 | WB | Huge again with three goals, nine inside-50s, five clearances and 15 CPs. | 8 |
20 | Ess | Got going after half time (17 disp) to be a factor. Seven clearances, nine inside-50s. | 8 |
21 | Rich | Burst in and out of the game. Six clearances and 11 inside-50s a handy input. | 7 |
22 | Bris | Couple of bursts had fans aroused but inaccuracy cost him – 2.4. Six inside-50s. | 7 |
23 | Melb | Brownlow votes likely after 16 inside-50s, 10 clearances, seven score assists. | 8 |
QF | Haw | Ball use well down but still contributed six inside-50s and seven clearances. | 7 |
PF | Syd | Worked his tail off from start to finish but without support impact down. | 8 |

Played for : Adelaide
1 | NM | Just imposed himself on the game, contest after contest. | 8 |
2 | Coll | Eight clearances and two goals. Explosive forward of centre. | 8 |
3 | Melb | Battered from pillar to post by Vince. | 5 |
4 | WB | Started like a rocket then two quiet quarters before junk time touches. | 5 |
5 | Port | With Betts, the Crows’ best with 14 clearances and seven inside-50s. | 8 |
6 | GCS | Well held by Raines but still managed two goals. | 5 |
7 | StK | 10 tackles, seven clearances and five inside-50s in an unassuming performance. | 6 |

10 | Carl | In tight game his 18 contested possessions and nine clearances were huge. | 8 |
12 | Haw | As always, lead from the front and put it all on the line. | 7 |
13 | Bris | Played in patches and when he did get into the action, it made a difference. | 6 |
15 | WCE | Battled manfully with 36 disposals and 12 clearances. Outstanding game. | 8 |

18 | Syd | Strong game against the odds and was a potent midfielder. | 7 |

2014 Season
Played for : Adelaide
1 | Geel | Guthrie wore him tight but he still won 17 cont poss and kicked two goals. | 7 |
2 | Port | Needs to have more faith in his teammates; he can’t do everything. | 6 |
3 | Syd | Never stops trying, needs better protection from his teammates. | 7 |
4 | StK | Rumoured to have ankle problem that decreased onball time. Curren kept close. | 5 |
5 | GWS | Best on ground with another powerhouse performance. | 9 |

11 | GCS | Not as dominant as previous weeks but didn’t get banged around either. | 7 |

20 | Bris | Usual busy self and right in the thick of it most of the game. | 7 |
21 | Rich | Led from the front with seven clearances and seven bruising tackles. | 7 |

10 | Frem | Outstanding in the midfield and across half-forward with 32 touches. | 8 |
