Player reviews for the 2017 season

Matthew Allen[]

(WAFL: 2 games, 6 goals; WAFL reserves: 2 games, 2 goals) Season was a virtual write-off after he missed the first month with a hamstring injury, then managed just two senior WAFL games before succumbing to a stress fracture in the foot, although those two games both yielded a three-goal haul for the young forward.

(AFL: 4 games, 0 goals; WAFL: 10 games, 0 goals; WAFL reserves: 1 game, 0 goals) Suffered a setback after a decent pre-season campaign, missing a month with a quad injury. Recovered to be a solid performer in the backline at WAFL level and managed to add four senior games mid-season.

Jamie Cripps[]

(AFL: 21 games, 26 goals) Played his 100th AFL game early in the year but suffered an ankle injury several weeks later, and although he was able to return earlier than expected he failed to recapture his best form for the rest of the season.

Jack Darling[]

(AFL: 23 games, 43 goals) Continued to provide an effective foil to Kennedy, with the pair kicking more goals than any other duo in the league. Struggled for form mid-season in Kennedy's absence and following complications in the birth of his first child, but rebounded to earn life membership during the finals.

Liam Duggan[]

(AFL: 20 games, 4 goals; WAFL: 3 games, 0 goals) Had a slow start to the season after being forced to earn a spot in the senior side and getting only limited midfield minutes, but a move to the backline against Geelong after the bye sparked a massive improvement.

(AFL: 24 games, 6 goals) Played every game and continued to rack up plenty of possession - over 100 more than any of his teammates - but his impact on games was not as great as previous years.

Jonathan Giles[]

(AFL: 5 games, 1 goal; WAFL: 12 games, 6 goals) Expected to have an increased role due to the club's ruck woes, played five senior games early in the season in partnership with Vardy but was dropped when the pairing proved too immobile. Hampered by a degenerative knee condition for much of the year that eventually forced his retirement. (Retired)

Lewis Jetta[]

(AFL: 15 games, 9 goals; WAFL: 6 games, 1 goals) Struggled early and had an extended run at East Perth, but once recalled he finally began to show the scintillating running for which he was recruited. Continued to fade out of games at times but also had some big moments, in particular in extra-time of the Elimination Final.

(AFL: 6 games, 6 goals; WAFL: 13 games, 6 goals) Found his way into the senior side mid-season and played six games, including an eye-catching three goal game against the Bulldogs. Received a new deal for 2018 and was in the mix for selection during the finals series.

Josh Kennedy[]

(AFL: 19 games, 69 goals) Narrowly missed out on a third straight Coleman Medal despite missing five games with a calf injury mid-season. Kicked 30 goals in his first six games back to re-take the lead but ended up in second place on the league's goalkicking table. Was named vice-captain of the All-Australian team as a mark of the esteem he is held in league-wide.

Tom Lamb[]

(WAFL: 18 games, 21 goals) The forgotten man, was used in a number of roles at East Perth with varying success but was rarely in the mix for senior selection apart from one late-season trip to Sydney as a traveling emergency.

(AFL: 19 games, 32 goals) Still capable of turning a match but that was rarely on show. Went goalless for a month and was troubled by a nagging hip injury, but still finished third in the club's goalkicking.

Scott Lycett[]

(AFL: 1 game, 0 goals; WAFL: 4 games, 1 goal) After an interrupted pre-season following knee surgery, injured his shoulder in a WAFL practice match. Managed to return to play a handful of games for East Perth and one AFL game, but suffered complications in his shoulder that necessitated further surgery and an early end to his season.

Daniel Venables[]

(WAFL: 8 games, 9 goals; WAFL reserves: 2 games, 3 goals) After spending much of the pre-season recovering from a pre-existing foot injury, made a series of eye-catching appearances for East Perth, playing primarily in the forward line. Was reportedly set for a senior debut before suffering a case of "turf toe" that, although initially expected to keep him out for a few weeks, eventually ruled him out of the entire second half of the season.
