What they said:
“Initially it was probably a little bit inconsistent and I had to work through a couple of injuries in the middle of the year. Towards the end of the year, I became a lot better and became a consistent player for the team and luckily we were also playing some good football as well. There were a few adjustments to playing a new role… I enjoyed playing up on the ball and up higher on the wing, hopefully I can do it again next year and have a good impact.” – Stewart Crameri, September 2015
“He had some troubles at the start of the year with his consistency, we were seeing patches in games with what he could do and how he could play at the level. But we were really happy with his second half of the year. He really put defences on edge with his power running and his strength in the contest. He’s a really hard match up for the opposition and he got really consistent in the back half of the year and he was really prominent for us, on the scoreboard but getting up on wings as well and using that power running that he’s got.” – Daniel Giansiracusa (Western Bulldogs Assistant Coach), September 2015
