Port Magpies are unbeatable in AFL Evolution if you put McKenzie at CHF and just go for goals out the square. Perfect tactics.

Instead of adjusting the game plan for our players, we try to adjust the players for the game plan.
If that's the case, no wonder we keep failing.

Not even gonna lie, I always use the supergoal rules just to really capitalise on having the cannon in my side.
Add we don't adjust our game plan for our home ground. Square peg in round hole expert our coach.

I reckon if Buddy had kicked those they'd be popping up in great goal countdowns a lot more frequently than they do.
Man that video is depressing to watch.
Why can some players boot the ball 60m+ effortlessly, like Dew had tree trunks as legs and Tex is big but others like McKenzie and Hartlett are on the smaller spectrum (whilst someone like Wines can't kick the ball too far)
Wines’ technique has him kicking high rather than long. Good for inside mid but shit for anything else.
I watched a replay of round 1 this morning. Mckenzie was very good. I know most see him as a placeholder in our best 22 but the reality is that he has now played as many good games for our club as Jack Watts.
The 3rd tall defender spot is his to lose.

That's not true, his defending has been good in his 2 most recent afl games. He was our best performing defender against gc and got 4 coaches votes (behind only boak, rockliff and rozee) as a result. I dont think itd be fair to drop him off that game
McKenzie defended well above my expectations for him in the gcs game.
im still concerned about his ability to defend against better players and better teams when we come under the pump though.

McKenzie was quite good against gc ( maybe he had a point to prove ), but I have seen plenty of games ( and not just for Port ) where has given his opponent way too much space, and I expect the better coaches and teams will eventually exploit it.
He's a different player than he was at GC. Has been used as a third tall defender at Port (a key position player at the Magpies). Been played much deeper than at GC and been much more accountable. The criticisms above are of a different player.
His problem is that he is being asked to play on players 5-10 cm taller than him. The theory is obviously that while he will be out marked 3-5 times a game, he will more than make up for it with his pace in the backline, his intercept marking and of course his kick out of defence.

He was and I couldn't understand why I wanted to play him on the wing. Having said that I think he has been playing well but just not tall enough for the big guys. Either is Jonas or clurey mind you.

Just play him on the wing - and have him dob 4 sausage rolls from outside 50m against the Camries 
I would love that but I don’t think there is any available, especially in the right age bracket to be around for rozee’s peak.
targeting Brennan cox or Harrison petty who are both ooc for the right price would be smart.
there’s a few potential key defenders in this draft.
I like the idea of petty for a cheap pick plus draft Grainger-barrass and then we would suddenly have developing depth in a shallow area.
Nah. Play him on Taylah and have him run off and do the same.Just play him on the wing - and have him dob 4 sausage rolls from outside 50m against the Camries

Great game last night. So solid. Controlled the backline. Marked everything.
We seem so incredible versatile down there now with Clurey, McKenzie, Jonas, Burton and even Hartlett who can all play on talls.
I thought he was going to bomb a goal from the centre square at one stage late. It looked like they tried to set him up for it.

He made up for his lack of height by bodying up really well. Sometimes giving a last chance to someone like McKenzie who has to play for every contract pays off, hope he continues to impress.
