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

[Enviable Tradition]

With DBJ, SPP and McEntee all playing for defensive pressure and Charlie playing for defensive spoils it's no wonder we don't kick goals.

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.

I thought who the * is McEntee when we took him in the mid season draft. Even more incredulous is he's played 36 games.

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

All biases aside, has had a putrid start to the year.

I will be so astonished and angry if he gets picked next week.

The new Greek kid, Narkle or Williams couldn’t possibly be worse

 

[PatientMental]

There's no logical reason these two are battling it out for 22nd and or 23rd picked each week

Keninkly school of coaching 101.

Pressure forward: a Positional player in the attacking fifty who creates excess pressure on the other 5 forwards to kick a winning score by being exempt from any forward craft skills, running around for no impact and scoreboard pressure, resulting in the team playing a 5 vs 6 forwardline.

Couldn't put any better then that...

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

It's another thing that we've already invested a full season's games into him and he has shown zero improvement

 

[afl2004]

Feel bad for real talented footy players who can't live there dream because of a player like him

Seems like a nice guy is his only trait I can stand

 

[Rising Power]

He played 22 games last year. Will do the same in 2024. Kenny will get him to 75 games then pack him in his bag and take him to whatever other club has the misfortune to appoint him as a senior or assistant coach, only to be delisted after a year in the reserves.

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

Thank fk we have Rioli who is a genuinely talented small forward

Need to get him to 100 games so we have access to the future FS picks.

He's not even fit to be the wish.com version of Jake neade

. I feel bad putting them in the same sentence.

Probably an unpopular observation: Neade was a decent player early days, lost a yard of pace and went to fertiliser pretty quickly.

 

[yepits2020]

Can’t see the game, but based on stats, Evans is staking a claim.

Wests v Port game

That's because SANFL is his wheelhouse he's hot trash at AFL level.

Neade wasn't a problem in itself. Neither was Sam Gray. Its the shit way they were utilised that was the problem.

Neadey played some great games for us and was huge in two finals.

Yea.

I'm positive he lost a yard as early as 2015 though, it was noticeable to me.

 

[Macca19]

I don't think Neade was super quick to begin with anyway. He had a turn of pace but he wasn't lightning quick. But you are probably right as well

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Yep people were ready to turn on Rozee until he got out the forward line.

We lost a few years of prime Boak because he played in that forward role.

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

That trade of neady and hombch looked epic early days

Less so maybe as time went on

That trade was still a win they served a purpose & played some good footy.

I’m convinced that they are just getting McEntee to 100 games for Father-Son reasons. The club has intel that McEntee is a super reproducer and in 20 years or so there be the second coming of 18 McEntee Juniors for recruitment.

Ken, in his 80s and yet to coach to a grand final, will spill all of the Coke Zero in excitement on draft night.

Then finally, after a lifetime of trying, Hinkleyball will be complete.
18 McEntees all one the field causing pressure levels never seen before causing Adelaide Oval to implode.

If you want to attend you'll need to sign a waiver as everyone present in the crowd will be turned into diamonds by three quarter time

 

[Schulzenfest]

Why do you guys think this dogshit game will be treated any differently than any of the other dogshit games he's played and then been picked again the next week?

Told you.
