Disagree. Has shown a number of times this year he is shaky under a high ball, dropping uncontested intercept marking opportunities.
Also, you don't pay big bucks for someone who is a one way player. Our defence needs stand up when forward pressure is NOT good.
I checked the Wheelo stats...
Agree partly. I think nearly every AFL player has skill. It's the ability to execute that skill under pressure that counts.
We look great when we can free wheel. But when the blowtorch is applied (whether it be through opposition pressure on the field and/or media or external pressure), many of...
scored 2.0. on the face of it, that seems fine. can't remember him laying a F50 tackle or winning a crumb at ground level, other than his banana goal at the end (which should have been the sealer)
My 8 year old son can see that Menzie is not best 22. When he saw him in the VFL last week, he said "good, that's where he should stay"
And I agree. It wasn't just him tonight though, Guelfi and Gresham were putrid also
I’m really not sure what game people were watching last night
It was disappointing to lose, yes. I hard Carlton with a passion. But our effort was there. And pretty consistent across 4 quarters. Carlton had a few patches where they torched us, but we seemed to be winning the arm wrestle for...
Most in the team were involved in the embarrassing round 23 game last year
I'd like to see a bit of edge this weekend. Can cop a loss, but expect a fierce effort at minimum
I think the improved kicking has come about by banning himself kicking around corners.
As in, he's been told to back himself and run, bounce and carry, break the line, then kick when in space. it's a huge improvement
He does need to be told he doesn't need to bounce after taking 3 steps though 😅
Great last quarter, but really good for the whole game too
Had his obligatory biting off more than he could chew moment for the Mihocek goal, but he’s obviously got license to thrill.
That goal in the phone booth in the last - 🤩
I’m eating my words with McGrath. He’s been mostly fantastic this year.
He shit Hill down after half time and created plenty from half back
Maybe he’s finally found his role, maybe it’s the contract year?
Either way, he’s found his place in defence and I like him there
Love him. He’s the kind of glue guy you need to be a good side.
Might even be better than a glue guy too, let’s see. Tough as nails
Edit - thread banner needs an update. Looks weird him tackling a North Goldy 😝
Pressure is fine, but he can’t stay in the team for his pressure alone. Needs to find more of the ball, as he often looks like making something happen when he has it
Nick Kommer MK2 at the moment. Not sure he will be able to stay in the team when we get Guelfi and Perk back.
Looked really shaky under the high ball a few times yesterday. Missed some chances to take an intercept mark or get a fist in. Had a complete fresh airy at one stage which may have led to the Harrison goal?
A player of Mihoceks size and speed should not be beating McKay. I have actually been...
Twice he got the ball tonight from and mark and a free kick and I thought “oh good, we can gain some field position”
Looked down at my dinner, looked up, and it was in port Adelaide hands both times
Pretty sure both were sideways kicks too.
Absolutely shocking game, pretty disappointed with...
