2017 NAB Cup:
2017 Season
1 | GWS | A tentative display from the acting captain, still won a game high nine clearances. | 7 |
2 | Haw | Quiet by his standards in first half then lifted. Mark and goal in final term but any hope of a Hawk comeback in the bin. | 7 |
3 | Port | Showdown medallist was superb with 31 possessions, including eight clearances, four inside-50’s and goal. | 9 |
4 | Ess | There isn’t anything Rory Sloane can’t do on the footy field, wins contested footy, takes hangers and kicks goals regularly. | 8 |
5 | GCS | Continued his fine season with a team high 10 tackles to go with his 30 possessions and a goal. | 9 |
6 | Rich | Laid seven tackles in the third term alone, and finished hitting the scoreboard three times. | 8 |
7 | NM | Unable to shake tag by Gibson. Just four touches in first half. Able to break free more in second half, but game was shot. | 4 |
8 | Melb | Taken out of the game by Bernie Vince, didn’t get a lot of help from his teammates. Laid a game high 12 tackles. | 4 |
9 | Bris | Withstood being harassed and physically bullied to show his doubters he can handle being tagged. | 8 |
10 | Frem | Worked off the tag of Connor Blakely in the first term, spent some time on Nat Fyfe and won the battle. | 8 |
11 | Geel | Tagged by Blicavs and while he worked hard he only managed 15 disposals. Six inside-50s and six clearances. | 5 |
12 | StK | Is getting the hard tag every week, won plenty of free kicks but needs help from teammates to shake the tag. | 4 |
13 | Bye. | ||
14 | Haw | Needs to better coached and protected by teammates. Do something different, how about 10 mins at full forward to break the tag? | 5 |
15 | Carl | Didn’t receive the hard tag as previous weeks, but still playing a bit gun-shy from what we saw earlier in the season. | 6 |
16 | WB | No strong tag this game and it showed with a powerful performance in the midfield against the Bulldog hardnuts. | 7 |
17 | Melb | Vince shadowed him and he again struggled. Then knocked out in fair tackle in third term. | 3 |
18 | Geel | Came back from concussion to be close to best; 28 possessions and three goals was a monster performance. | 8 |
19 | Coll | Well held once gain by the oppositions best tagger, was ok without being damaging. | 4 |
20 | Port | Nine clearances, laid seven tackles had 10 inside-50’s and kicked a goal, back to his best. | 8 |
21 | Ess | Closely tagged and sent a scare through Crow camp when limping in third quarter, but then ran game out. | 6 |
22 | Syd | Super human performance from the spiritual leader, 14 tackles, nine clearances, five inside-50’s and a goal. | 8 |
23 | WCE | A beast in congestion. He had 14 clearances among 38 possessions. | 8 |

2016 Season

2 | Port | His bash and crash style took few prisoners and won plenty of more admirers. | 6 |
3 | Rich | Two goals were superb, but so was his attack on the ball and willingness to compete. | 8 |
4 | Syd | Crows best with 10 tackles, six clearances and six inside-50s. | 8 |
5 | Haw | Fierce attack on the ball and one-touch handling set tone. Beautiful delivery. | 8 |

4 | WB | Had eight clearances, four inside and rebounds out of 50 and laid seven tackles. | 8 |
5 | Carl | Battled gamely but found Ed Curnow a hard nut to crack. | 6 |
6 | Haw | Tireless worker who goes about his business with a minimum of fuss. | 8 |
7 | GWS | Contained to a reasonable level by Scully but still contributed. | 5 |

10 | Frem | Had a monster game, seven clearances and five tackles. Loves the wet stuff. | 8 |
11 | Syd | Adelaide’s best and kept bobbing up with the ball. | 7 |

GF |
