7 goals in 2 games is pretty handy. He certainly has that goal sense we've been missing since Fantasia withered on the vine.

I don't think anyone would be mad if he were taking McEntee's spot in the team.

 

[StuMan]

I honestly fail to see what we really lose by having Evans in over McEntee.

I'd take Frank's goals over Jed's lightly caressing of a player as they run away from him.

Evans is listed on the club website as 182cm tall, McEntree is listed as 176cm. Reason enough for Hinkley to prefer McEntree over Evans.

 

[Lefti93]

How long was he initially signed for? If only the one, he has definitely earned himself another year.

Evans goal in the internal trial.

Imagine being this poor campaigner knowing spud McEntee stays in the team off 2 disposals every week over him.

 

[PowerBaz]

Jeds allowed to stay in the team ‘cause’.

Not saying either Jed or Evans are world beaters but I see more upside in Evans. Jed must have some greyhound knowledge or something.

 

[SC_Power]

That set shot goal from 50 in the second quarter is enough to preclude him playing AFL.

Shooting from distance is scary.

He just kicked himself out the seniors

He just kicked himself out the seniors

yep; Ken does not want goal kickers he wants precious pressure.
And here I was thinking it was the job of all forwards to apply pressure.

For what it's worth, Evans was the Magpies best player yesterday and spent a lot of time on the ball.

 

[Poo Eckert]

Evans isn’t solving problems.

He’s too slow and he isn’t going into our midfield.

 

[all seeing eye]

Cross Evans skills with Mcentees speed, you'd have a player.

They are both potatoes that shouldn't be on the list.

 

[PowerBaz]

Don’t disagree but…

 

[PowerBaz]

They are both potatoes that shouldn't be on the list.

Also Kens a potato and he’s still here..

 

[PowerBaz]

He’s gotta have a shot this week. 20 odd possesions, 2 goals and 8 tackles.

 

[Freak Dodgeball Accident]

They are both potatoes that shouldn't be on the list.

Jed Mac should never ever be called a spud. Spuds are delicious. Pretty much the best vegetable out there in terms of versatility. Jed Mac is more like a turnip or radish or alfalfa sprout, one of the forgotten vegetables. Maybe good for one thing and even that's a stretch.

Maybe so but arguing over him or Evans is like debating shades of shite they are both hot trash.

Should also note from Frank Evans, he's yet another guy that's got worse since we've recruited him.

2023:
AFL: 10 goals from 10 games.
SANFL: 20 goals from 11 games.

2024:
AFL: 2 goals from 6 games.
SANFL: 6 goals from 7 games.

A typical Hinkley special.

Has there been any of our players it hasn't happened to?

This game is a 50/50 for me. I'll need to see our changes first.

 

[RossFC]

15 disposals, 8 tackles and 2 goals this week from Frank Evans.
