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

[VineValerian]

Even I can admit a McEntee winner after the siren would have led to some truly elite banter, albeit most of it at my expense. Especially given that it would have followed him having done absolutely nothing for the three quarters and 19:50 minutes beforehand, which if anything would have only added to the banter.

Not quite true.

I watched the full replay today. Saw Mac get 3 kicks (that went to no-one on his team, other than Mead near the finish - who sacrificed his body and took the big hit to thump the ball deeper into attack), 2 handballs that found team mates (one team mate was under extreme pressure, the other was to Houston on the boundary who kicked a point), and 2 tackles (including the last one, for which he unashamedly gets top marks).

I make no other comment!

 

[PJ Power]

I was told that he kept Weddell distracted by talking to him non-stop for 120 minutes, which kept him down to his lowest disposal count for the year. Whatever it takes, Jed is the ultimate team man and will deliver.

I missed todays game due to local footy, how did the great Jedalenko go?

Looked a million bucks out there

Although I think he kicked 1.2 and gave away 3 50m penalties

cheers, wasn't sure if he'd played as this thread hadn't blown up.

He is from Sturt so I imagine it was quite an intelligent discourse ranging across romantic poetry, the relative merits of Dickens and Joyce and the more modern greats like Mailer and Hemingway, Pythagorean Theorem, and Renaissance art.

Theoretical physics, Oppenheimer and Heisenberg might have been a bridge too far for Weddell.

 

[The Hobo]

Great tackle at the end. At the game, from my seat on the outer, I thought he kicked it

Would have been a seriously impressive effort if he somehow managed to get a kick away after laying that tackle - all in the one motion

At the game, I thought he was the one who did the soccer, not the tackle.

Didn't make this one.
And it was just based on games played!

A. Jonhson is a gun.

Aside from Newcombe, that list is trash. Durham looks like he might be ok. Pickett is a very average player.

The fact that will Snelling is at 7 and Jed mcentee makes it on there while being literally the worst "best 22" player in the AFL tells you how bad it is

McEntee has played 41 games…. So should be above Sharman….

I don’t get Richmond’s love affair with Pickett.

He was just lucky enough to debut in a GF, which is a cool story, but doesn’t make him anything other than average

 

[Phar Ted]

It will be interesting if this boards superstar Smokin sammy hayes joins the list of mid-season recruits.

Durham looks more than ok to me. He’s becoming, maybe already is, Essendon’s second most important midfielder.

Yeah first thought was he should be higher than noble and Pickett

 

[Marmozet]

Right up there

He certainly is reliable to end up in the bottom 5 lowest rated players on the field, in every single game

And neither should it be assured. Can't believe some of the stuff written about McEntee on here.

 

[StuMan]

Replace Ken with the cheese.

 

[sobrave]

Excluding last quarter sub shadow brain, Jed was once again the lowest rated player on the ground until he EXPLODED WITH EEEELECTRICITY to kick a goal with 1:30 left on the clock and 85 points behind

 

[TazD]

Kicked a goal, what more could he do?

 

[gbear]

Not an AFL standard player, but he ain’t alone with regards to ports current list.
