2017 Digest: Veteran utility faces big year. Can’t afford to lose form or will face a host of challengers for his spot. Can he still play midfield?
2017 NAB Cup:
2017 Season
1 | GWS | Two goals in three minutes late in the third term and ran himself into the ground. | 9 |
2 | Haw | Veteran playmaker struggled. Just 10 effective disposals, one clearance and three inside-50s. No goals. | 3 |
3 | Port | Adelaide’s best player for the season so far, has stepped up in the midfield. | 8 |
4 | Ess | Has had a great start to the year, is winning plenty of contested footy and is hitting the scoreboard every week. | 7 |
5 | GCS | Relaible across half back and used the footy efficiently (89%). | 7 |
6 | Rich | Unsung hero of the Crows midfield, doesn’t get the accolades of his more illustrious midfielders but has had a stellar start to 2017. | 7 |
7 | NM | Got a bit of the ball after a slow start. Numbers will look okay post-game, but lacked impact overall. | 5 |
8 | Melb | Tried hard with nine tackles and seven clearances. | 6 |
9 | Bris | Played well although the let down was only a 50 per cent effective rate for his 24 disposals. | 6 |
10 | Frem | Unsung hero of the Crows midfield with four clearances, two goal assists and laid five tackles. | 6 |
11 | Geel | Went through the motions. Hard to recall too many of his 18 disposals in what was a struggling effort. | 4 |
12 | StK | Best man on ground in the first half, faded in the second and so did his disposal efficiency. | 7 |
13 | Bye. | ||
14 | Haw | Numbers were low from previous weeks, an okay game in midfield but would want to do better next time. | 6 |
15 | Carl | Won eight clearances and seven inside-50’s to step up for the Crows in the heat of the midfield battles. | 7 |
16 | WB | Bobbed up for a goal in the last term when the game was won, with Thompson’s return played more up the ground. | 5 |
17 | Melb | Flew under the radar with his 23 touches and makes good decisions. | 6 |
18 | Geel | Had three goals in opening 40 minutes and ended with four to be one of the best on the night. | 8 |
19 | Coll | Made up for the absence of Brad Crouch with 28 disposals including five inside-50’s. | 7 |
20 | Port | Seven clearances and seven inside-50’s, another Crows midfielder who dominated their immediate opponents. | 7 |
21 | Ess | Had a good night and was a strong ball-winner all over the ground for four quarters. | 8 |
22 | Syd | A quiet game from Douglas, struggled to make an impact in the midfield. | 4 |
23 | WCE | Had 16 touches in the first half and finished with 22 | 6 |
QF | GWS | Started in midfield and had a real impact in the absence of Sloane. Hits the scoreboard to hurt the opposition. | 7 |
PF | Geel | Chipped in for 19 touches and four tackles. Supported star cast brilliantly. | 6 |
GF | Rich | Veteran half forward battled to influence despite 17 disposals. No goals and four inside-50s. | 4 |
2016 Season
1 | NM | Six inside-50s, one goal but efficiency well down on level required. | 5 |
2 | Port | Not as prolific as usual, didn’t find a lot of footy but damaging when he did. | 5 |
3 | Rich | A game-breaker in a sense with his three goals – two of which were beauties. Nice effort. | 8 |
4 | Syd | Sprayed two gettable chances before hitting the scoresheet in the third term. | 7 |
5 | Haw | Usual hard-working and constructive game. | 6 |
6 | Frem | Playing through the midfield, and half forward, always good for a goal. | 6 |
7 | WB | Horror game. Couldn’t get into the contest at all regardless of where coach put him. | 2 |
8 | Geel | Two quiet games in a row, spent some time running with Selwood. | 4 |
9 | GCS | Got things going in the second quarter when Crows had all the momentum. | 7 |
10 | GWS | His best game for three weeks, still a lot of upside to come. | 6 |
11 | StK | Not as dominant as his previous two weeks but always a threat heading inside 50. | 5 |
12 | WCE | Marked well inside 50, which is rare for a player of his size. | 5 |
14 | NM | Not getting the midfield numbers he would like but contributing on the scoreboard. | 6 |
15 | Melb | Three goals from 12 kicks in a cheeky display playing forward/wing. | 7 |
16 | Carl | One goal but on the whole was hardly sighted in a quiet afternoon. | 3 |
17 | Coll | Rotated between midfield and high half forward, delivered five inside-50s. | 6 |
18 | Geel | One great snap goal but just 11 effective disposals and three inside-50s. | 5 |
19 | Ess | Chimed in with two goals and two scoring assists. | 5 |
20 | Bris | Played more as a permanent half forward and had three score assists. | 5 |
