2017 Digest: Strong pre-season has translated into solid form in both JLT matches. Ready to hit the ground running.
2017 NAB Cup:
2017 Season
1 | WCE | Showed his class at times and ended with 25 possessions, but needed to impact the game more in midfield. | 6 |
2 | Geel | Relished space afforded to him to be among the Roos’ best. Countless times burst through the middle to set others up. | 8 |
3 | GWS | The reinvented midfielder rarely got into the game. Just seven kicks among his 18 touches. | 5 |
4 | WB | Not as good as previous week but ended with one goal from 19 disposals. Burnt a teammate in final term. | 6 |
5 | Hamstring. | ||
6 | GCS | Played as good footy as he has ever produced in his career and looked sharp and fit in the middle. | 8 |
7 | Adel | Two long-range goals in opening half had the Roos firing. Gave great value for his possessions. | 7 |
8 | Syd | North only looked dangerous when he had the ball in his hands. Was the most potent Roo midfielder. | 7 |
9 | Melb | Tagged by Vince but still able to exert a influence on the contest. Kicking boots weren’t on however after ending with 1.4. | 6 |
10 | Carl | Great early and even better late. Finished with 27 clean disposals and two important goals. Silky as always. | 8 |
11 | Rich | Not his night. Only grabbed 15 effective disposals, six inside-50s and failed to hit the scoreboard. | 5 |
12 | Bye. | ||
13 | StK | Ran to space and looked a menace at times, but didn't cap it off. | 5 |
14 | WB | Former Doggie flashed in and out to cause the opposition some grief. Ended with 19 disposals, seven inside-50s and six clearances. | 7 |
15 | GCS | Had Lonergan as his shadow for the most part, and found it tough to break free. Just six kicks. | 5 |
16 | Frem | Kicked a contender for goal of the year and was a strong mover through the middle of the ground. | 7 |
17 | Port | Got caught on several occasions believing he had more time to deliver the footy to a teammate. | 6 |
18 | Ess | Stand in skipper was solid but not spectacular. Below his usual high standard efficiency. | 5 |
19 | Melb | Used ball well and had some key touches – including a goal – in final term stand. | 7 |
20 | Coll | Couldn’t break the Greenwood tag, until the Pie got injured. Higgins settled into the flow after that, but far from his best. | 4 |
21 | Haw | Copped a heavy tag, but fought hard with 31 disposals and eight inside 50’s. | 7 |
22 | StK | Burst out of the blocks with big first quarter and maintained momentum with an excellent game. | 8 |
23 | Bris | Again started with a big first quarter and by day’s end had 29 disposals.. | 8 |
2016 Season
1 | Adel | Not close to best but kept working to provide something to the effort. One goal. | 5 |
2 | Bris | OK across half forward but didn't hit the scoreboard. | 4 |
3 | Melb | One of his quieter games in blue and white stripes. Went goalless and did most of his work by hand. | 5 |
4 | Frem | Two early goals got the Roos going and linked up well across the middle of the ground. | 7 |
5 | GCS | Classy in attack and booted three goals, | 6 |
6 | WB | Handy game as forward against old mob. Creative with ball in hand. | 6 |
7 | StK | Looked in all sorts of trouble when he went down with a knee injury but returned. | 4 |

23 | GWS | Roamed across half forward but in and out of the contest. | 4 |
EF | Adel | Kicked two nice goals but for large parts ineffective. Looked sore on knee. | 4 |
2015 Season
1 | Adel | Four goals in his Kangaroo debut, one of the few highlights. | 7 |
2 | Bris | Nice game and could have finished with more than his two goals. | 6 |
3 | Port | Didn’t have the impact he has had over the first fortnight. Just fair. | 5 |
4 | Geel | Didn’t hit scoreboard but had six inside-50s and ran hard through middle. | 7 |
5 | Haw | Rarely sighted in first half – just five disp. Better after that but not his best. | 4 |
6 | Rich | Linked through middle at times but certainly not a huge factor. One goal. | 7 |
7 | Ess | Two early misses but slotted the sealer from 45m. | 6 |
8 | Frem | Laid nine tackles which was the most for the team. Kicked a goal too. | 5 |
9 | Coll | Used ball well and was dangerous in front half. | 7 |
10 | WCE | Broke free to bag four goals, decisive in tight game. | 8 |
11 | Syd | Two goals came in the third term. Not his best game but contributed. | 6 |
12 | GWS | Continued strong first season at North with 17 touches, two goals. | 6 |
14 | GCS | Booted a couple of goals and looked dangerous. | 5 |
15 | Geel | Another fine performance with three goals as a mobile half forward. | 8 |
16 | Ess | Quiet night by his standards but still played a role. | 5 |
17 | Bris | Impressive in both halves. | 7 |
18 | Carl | Classy with ball in hand and was a constant thorn in Carlton’s side. | 7 |
19 | Melb | Best afield performance highlighted by a superb final term that helped ice game. | 9 |
20 | StK | Regular input and despite heavy knock finished game strongly. | 6 |
21 | Frem | Handy in attack on Sutcliffe without starring. | 5 |
22 | WB | Potent forward who made the most of every opportunity with three goals. | 7 |
23 | Knee. | ||
EF | Rich | Did what he was brought to the club to do – kick goals and create in front half. | 6 |
SF | Syd | Played the game he was recruited for especially in big third quarter. | 7 |
PF | WCE | Two classy goals but wasn’t as influential as he has been lately. | 6 |
2014 Season

4 | GWS | Big outing in midfield and then up forward. Back to his best. | 8 |

7 | Ess | The game’s leading ball winner with 35 touches. | 8 |
8 | Melb | Six tackles, four rebound 50s and steady ball use from the back half. | 7 |

11 | Frem | Created off half-back and pushed forward too. | 6 |
12 | Bris | Attempted to create the loose man at half back. Team needed him to lift. | 5 |
13 | Coll | Quiet for most of the game but had six touches in the final term. | 4 |
14 | Port | Relishing his role a as running half-back flanker. | 7 |
15 | Melb | Freed up at half back when the Dogs were under pump. Kicked a crucial goal. | 6 |
16 | Geel | Quiet off half-back although did stick with Murdoch in second half. | 4 |
17 | VFL | Had 33 touches after AFL axing but wasn’t as clean as he’d like. | – |
18 | VFL | Improved outing with 23 touches and a goal. | – |
19 | Haw | Returning to side and didn’t have a big impact. | 3 |
20 | StK | Got his hands on the ball a lot down back | 7 |

2012 Season
Played for : Western Bulldogs
1 | WCE | Kicked two goals and workrate good but can do more up the ground. | 6 |
2 | Adel | Serviceable in the midfield but missed two critical shots on goal. | 6 |
3 | StK | Stats were flattering as he was well below his best. | 4 |
4 | Melb | On at three quarter time for Cordy. In everything when he came on. | 2 |
5 | GWS | Good return to form, could’ve kicked four goals. | 6 |
6 | Coll | Gave O’Brien plenty of early troubles and lots of good signs in his game. | 6 |
7 | NM | Copped early knock but scrounged two goals from limited opportunities. | 4 |
8 | GCS | Iles had the better of him for most of the night. Need to do more. | 4 |
9 | Geel | Limited opportunities but made most of them to kick three goals. | 6 |
10 | Syd | Another Bulldog who failed to cope with the Swans’ pressure. | 3 |
12 | Port | Played almost solely at half forward. One goal and did enough. | 6 |
13 | Bris | Showed some dash for seven inside-50s and a goal. Tried hard. | 6 |
14 | Ess | Won a lot of the ball and worked hard. | 6 |
15 | Frem | A key contributor. Kicked a goal and set up others. | 7 |
