2017 NAB Cup:  

2017 Season

1		–
2	GCS	Late inclusion for Patton and was a handy contributor in the front half.	5
3	NM	Played an opportunist’s game as the second tall target, rewarded with two goals.	6
4	Port	Kicked two goals and helped keep GWS close at stages. Flies under the radar but playing a solid role.	6
5	Syd	Showed trademark determination and knows his limitations. Did his bit.	5
6	WB	At one stage an all-points bulletin was sent out given he was unsighted from start to finish. Ended the game injured.	1
7		Hamstring.
8	Coll	Managed to concuss himself when applying front-on tackle in second quarter and took no further part.	1
9	Rich	Some important touches late and used his bulk to advantage at times.	5
10	WCE	Flashed in and out. Had 13 touches.	4
11	Ess	Used in front half and was a bit part player.	3
12	Carl	Given defensive role on Docherty but found that a tough ask. Given he wasn’t getting ball himself it wasn’t a great day.	2
13		Bye.
14	Bris	Not only did a brilliant job numbing Zorko but was work well the other way and land a couple of goals including a 50m bomb.	8
15	Geel	Got injured early and looked out of sorts. Fumbled at times and panicked when he got it; 11 possessions.	3
16	Haw	Unsighted. Six touches and only two tackles. A depth player might struggle when GWS have a fit list.	1

3	NEAFL	Provided a target in attack with three goals and competed strongly on the deck.	–
4	NEAFL	Dangerous in the front half with 1.3, but also drifting up into midfield.	–

10		Senior emergency.
11	NEAFL	Very good again with four goals and plenty of tackles. Showed great leadership.	–

3	StK	Sub came on at half time and had a few touches.	3
4	Melb	Lacks polish but not grunt. Had a go throughout.	5
5	GCS	Looked in deep trouble when Ablett moved onto him as full forward.	3
6	Ess	Laid seven tackles and played his heart out. Skills let him down at crucial times.	6
