Great stats. If he can start kicking 1 or 2 goals a game, that would be huge for his own game and for the HawksHis metrics this year are very very impressive
Most of those are kinda unimpressive.His metrics this year are very very impressive

You can't tackle if you got the ball.Cmac was good on the weekend but I have a feeling that he hadn't laid a tackle in over a half of footy might work against him. Might get a run on the weekend if Breust doesn't get up from the soreness he was carrying against the dogs.
I agree he’s better suited to running towards goal rather than running up to meet it.Wonder if he could develop the running patterns to be an attacking, goal scoring wingman. Seems a ball magnet and looks dangerous when running towards goal with the ball rather than running up to meet it. Has great goal sense and a good set shot once in range as well. Was in many score involvements last year.
VFL player by player R6: Each senior-listed Hawk in review
Connor Macdonald (37 disposals, 5 marks, 8 clearances, 1 goal)
"Connor was really solid, he found a lot of the ball which was great, he was able to spend some good midfield minutes which was one of the focusses we had going into the game. He was able to have a nice balance between spending time forward and in the midfield, providing us with some good run and carry while hitting the scoreboard himself. We got to see him display his weapons. Maybe at times he over handballed the ball, rather than running and gunning and taking territory with his legs. But it should give him great confidence that he was able to get his hands on the footy which is a great reward for him. He would've been disappointed coming back to the VFL, but I thought his attitude on the day was really good."
I've certainly seen more rave reviews of a 37 disposal outingVFL player by player R6: Each senior-listed Hawk in review

Lil’ John woke up on the wrong side of the bed by the looks of the player reviews. Think only Blanck got away unscathed.I've certainly seen more rave reviews of a 37 disposal outing

I've noticed this a bit in the reviews I've seen this year.I've certainly seen more rave reviews of a 37 disposal outing

Ward already plays wing, he is getting about 7-10 CBAs a game, which is on the lower end compared to high teens 17+ for Nash, Nuke, Worpel and Day.We need to give him some exposure to the AFL centre clearance rotation when he does come back in.
He can find the pill and moves very well - wouldn’t mind rotating Ward to the wings for a couple of matches to open up more opportunity for CMac / Frenchy to rotate in as the 3rd mid next to a combo of Nash, Day, Duke, and Worpel.
Love his skill set but my perception of him (without looking up stats) is that he's not very physical and doesn't tackle (not a great chaser). I wonder if he's been asked to work on the physical side of his game? What do others think?

Yeah I also saw him chase his man all the way into defensive fifty after having let his opponent go the week before. I think he has been told and did respond.I thought the same but for a burst in the Crows game where he gritted his teeth and applied good forward pressure - still got dropped but it seemed like it dawned on him that’s how he’ll keep getting a game this year
