Player Watch Mid-Season Pick #13 (2021) - Jed McEntee

[Schulzenfest]

That was shitter than his usual level of s**t.

Id play Scully as the crumbing forward, pressure guy. Could not be worse.

It really wasn't. He had 1 disposal in Round 1 and we still brought him back immediately.

In some ways being invisible is better than having the handful of times being involved today, because every one of them was bad.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

That possession in the middle with Dixon was so weird.

Dude like just flatout refused to handball to Dixon in a 2v1 situation and then did a hack kick that barely went 10 metres straight into a Freo player.

 

[yepits2020]

Has been a bit disappointing this season proper - had good preseason games. I have no idea who we could use to replace him. Evans is poor, and Narkle is not the replacement. Williams is not the answer. Newbies have no exposed form. I wonder what would happen if we didn’t have that small defensive forward?

Why Narkle is not the replacement ? He is fast and got good footy skills . He always kicks 2-3 goals a game .

Because Narkle would not be seen as being defensive enough.

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

Like I’ve rated some of this guys work but I recon if you’re picking him next week you are a very very very bad coach

There is not a chance in the world Narkle performs worse week on week than Jed has

 

[Wargreymon90]

Worth persisting with

Coming to you live from the same player who absolutely smashed a ball vertically under no pressure in the late stages of a final that was there to be won, instead of just kicking it to a free player I50 all his lonesome.

Spud.

 

[pastmyprimus]

Jed’s subbing this game has given me a tiny bit of hope that he’ll be dropped next week. Before this game I was convinced Hinkley would keep picking him.

Go on Ken - surprise me.

 

[all seeing eye]

Rather just play Boak forward next week.

I mean there many players that have done a shit kick in their career

Poor example

 

[SC_Power]

I applaud him for effort.

And refuse to criticise him, as he doesn’t pick the team.
He puts his hand up, and gets picked.

Please explain why

I do get your point
He wants to be an afl player. He tries his best.
The issue is the head coach that keeps picking such a horribly performing player

 

[Ford Fairlane]

I don't want to join the pile on, but carn he's had his chances.

 

[Ports1870]

Does he really need to be replaced with another forward?
Dixon, Marshall, Georgiades, Rioli, DBJ and SPP with a midfielder always rotating in there as well is more then enough forwards IMO

 

[VineValerian]

Without a doubt, if Mac wasn't playing last night, we don't win.

Clutch performer. Highlights material outstanding.

Future captaincy material

 

[PowerLil]

Parklands footballer.

 

[gbear]

Been given far too many chances already this season and has failed time and again. Time he is dropped.

 

[OneGreatClub]

He looked devo last night

 

[Ford Fairlane]

I was reading tweets from the 1981 football season and after Woodville had another flogging their coach sacked two players on the spot.

Jed won't be sacked on the spot but in those days of summary executions, watch out!

 

[Del165198]

He looked devo last night

He should drop himself since Hinkley is too useless to do it

 

[Chewy316]

I'm not even convinced he would make it at SANFL level. He's so far from AFL standard it's not funny, but I know for a fact that the coaches absolutely love his pressure in the forward line. With DBJ, SPP and Rioli as the 3 primary small forwards, I'm not convinced they can keep Jed in the side when they're at full strength.

I'm glad they subbed him out last night because they might finally be cottoning on to the fact that playing him is akin to playing with a man down.
