2017 Digest:   Has turned his game around over the past few seasons with his defensive work and has been one of Tigers’ best in his two JLT matches.

2017 NAB Cup:  

2017 Season

1	Carl	Veteran wingman linked up well all night and relished space afforded to him.	7
2	Coll	Unusually unproductive until managed some crucial touches including lovely goal in final term.	5
3	WCE	One of the most underrated players in the AFL. Really effective on the outside and showed nice touch	7
4	Bris	Quiet first term before picking up the pace to have a team high 31 disposals. He had at least three different opponents on a wing.	7
5	Melb	Kicked a crucial goal just on half time that helped keep Tigers close enough. Worked hard inside and outside the contest.	7
6	Adel	Thrown into the ruck to give Toby Nankervis a chop out	5
7	WB	Good anticipation to collect a lot of the ball on the wing and one of Tigers best.	7
8	Frem	Won a mountain of ball (31 disposals) and was constantly providing a link off half back or through the wing.	8
9	GWS	Kept bobbing up in space to be a constant thorn in GWS’s side. Can hold his head very high.	8
10	Ess	Wing option flitted in and out of the game for typical sort of production; 24 disposals and nine inside-50s a solid contribution.	7
11	NM	Not his best game highlighted by fact he gained only 177 metres despite grabbing 21 disposals. One goal.	6
12		Bye.
13	Syd	Not as prolific as he can be on a wing and across half back. 20 possessions, seven marks.	6
14	Carl	17 touches in first half, then quietened a bit to end with 27. Important contributor against former club.	7
15	Port	Forced into the ruck when Nankervis was on the bench, didn’t trouble Ryder but made him accountable when the ball hit the deck.	7
16	StK	Kept working all night and finished with a strong second half.	6
17	Bris	Found a bit of the footy, but wasn’t his most impactful game. Did his bit.	6
18	GWS	Got plenty of the sherrin (21 touches) and added five inside-50s and five tackles. Did his bit all day.	7
19	GCS	Not a big haul of possessions, but dug in defensively as usual (seven tackles).	5
20	Haw	Wingman buzzed about for his usual tally of possessions. Steady output seems his go.	6
21	Geel	Only 12 effective disposals from his 19 disposals. Still had 6 inside 50’s and 5 tackles which was a pass. Serviceable.	5
22	Frem	Had a stack of the ball with 36 disposals and six clearances.	8
23	StK	Monster first half (14 disposals, two goals) and theme continued to end with 24 disposals and six inside-50s.	8
QF	Geel	Kolodjashnij played defensive role on him and only managed seven effective disposals. Two inside-50s, two tackles.	4
PF	GWS	Used as a back-up ruck again as well as through midfield. In and out without having a massive influence.	5
GF	Adel	Like his teammate he played his role, even when asked to play in the ruck. Key goal in third term was crucial.	6

2016 Season

1		Thumb.
2	Coll	Hurt ankle in second term but battled on and was an influential performer after half time.	7
3	Adel	Kicked the first goal from outside 50 and was a hard worker in a well-beaten team.	6
4	WCE	Worked hard at clearances. Did okay with 22 disposals.	6
5	Melb	Lack of pace and penetration in kicking noticeable. Just doesn’t have any power to his game.	4
6	Port	First goal and spent time in attack where he did well against Pittard	7
7	Haw	Honest game on the wing and was one of better Tigers.	6
8	Syd	Worked way into middle from a wing and got hands on ball well around the ground.	6
9	Frem	Enjoyed the conditions. Booted a goal and was tough.	6
10	Ess	Two goals and found space off a wing to help keep Bombers at bay. Eight clearances.	7
11	NM	To his credit he never gave up. Stats of 12 kicks 26 HBs belied actual influence.	7
12	GCS	Good ball winner on the outside and run at times with crucial. Enjoying solid season.	7
14	Bris	Drifted through midfield to play steady role but not his most influential outing.	6
15	Port	Didn’t find enough of the footy to hurt the opposition.	6
16		Knee.
17	Ess	Two big final-term goals helped keep the Dons at bay. Handy contributor in first three quarters.	7

20	Coll	Found space off a wing to do some damage. Five inside-50s ands six tackles.	8

4	Melb	Battled on in midfield but was outmuscled by Melbourne mids.	5
5	Geel	Struggled in first half then got going after main break but still disappointing.	4
6	NM	Numbers looked OK but his influence forward of centre was zilch.	5
7	Coll	Provided some fine link play off the wing and always in space.	8
8	Port	Six clearances, seven tackles and four inside-50s.	7
9	Ess	Bobbed up with critical goals at the start of the third and last terms.	7
10	Frem	Tackled hard and worked consistently. Enjoying a purple patch.	7

19	Adel	Tried in vain all game to keep the Tigers competitive.	7
20	GCS	One ripping goal and played a part through the middle of the ground.	7
21	Coll	Went third-man up with success at times and was a handy link player.	7
22	Ess	Five clearances, three inside-50s and a goal a steady night’s work.	6
23	NM	Continually linked up with Cotchin.	6
EF	NM	Did some good things around the stoppages and can hold head up.	6

2	Carl	Started well but then hurt in friendly fire from Hampson.	5
3	WB	On Jong had a quiet game on the wing.	4
4	Coll	Spectator for much of night. Looked for easy ball when he had to put body on line.	3
5	Bris	Started in attack. Went up a cog in second half and had a big say late.	6
6	Haw	Had a big second quarter and OK without being damaging.	6
7	Geel	Tagged Selwood in first half and did it brilliantly. Enjoyed free rein in second half.	7
9	Melb	Had time pressuring Vince. Laid six tackles and won five clearances.	6
10	GWS	Played a defensive role after quarter time on Ward and did OK. Needs to back it up.	6
