Discussion 2021 Round 5: Teams & In Game Discussion

[kennychao]

Devils advocate outlook on his game, did nothing until the game was over and proceeded to use it terribly when he got into the game in junk time.

I’m comparing him to actual rookies, I don’t see why they wouldn’t keep playing him considering more seasoned players aka Sier / Brown / Daicos didn’t do much better (stats, and in game)

18 disposals in a losing team, in his first game of footy, that’s a solid effort

Anyone else think that Macrae actually resembles a bit of Jack

If he was a bit better with his disposal efficiency, easy 70+ - gonna be keeping an eye on him in 2 rounds time

took the plunge this week, he has the potential of getting 20+ touches which would equate to a handy score, unlike others who get 8-12 touches.

I really like WCE. Sort of weird preference for them and a few others (incl Freo, WBD, Port) when Sydney is not involved. Not sure why?!

Is it the fact that Dean Cox and Don Pyke have turned it around?????

he was also off the ground for large periods in the 1st half, like Buckley had his best side and was reluctant to bring him on when they were dominating. He only got a proper go late 3rd and got cba's in the last. He's a gun, just tidy that disposal up.

I took the gamble on Lachlan Jones to plug a leaky defence for this round, it will be interesting to see if he can back it up.

Just have concerns in a closer contested style of game he might give us a 30, really didnt do much in the heat of that first half.

He's a watch and act.

12 touches in the last quarter for Macrae, I wouldn't call it junk time touches, he just never saw much in the 1st half and got cba's in the last. He will not throw 30's that's for sure. @Shaunpro1 @kennychao

Let's hope!

If he gets 15+ next week & 50+ I’ll be getting him in the following week, 100%

Was looking forward to seeing this after my "POD" captain.

I'm 1 of the 32 in the top 5k to straight C Grundy.

4,195 with C on Gawn is probably expected.

 

[The Floggers]

I have Gawn lazing on the bench and Grundy standing around signing autographs.
Just need to make sure there's no "in like Flynn" emergency to spoil the party.

He had 10 uncontested possessions so he wasnt exactly winning the tough footy at the centre bounce, only one possie in the centre square aswell, might be being a bit harsh but I really thought he did nothing special.

that's ok, I thought he did ok, considering the amount of pressure WC applied, he'll be better for the run. He has Essendon, GC then North, so we'll see how he progresses.

Just flick the VFL on at 12, if Flynn runs out we are safe and can go enjoy our day.

Yeah Baby 😎

I don't think we as a people are normally so critical of a rookie's game. Is it because his name is Macrae and he looks a bit like his brother? I'm sorry but he ain't averaging 130 in his first season. Young Jackson averaged 61.4 in his first season. Let's compare him to young Jackson instead.

Ability to win a contested situation is always going to bode well for scoring, put his head over the footy and won a contest 4 or 5 times on debut against the best side in the comp, ball use was woeful and he still got to 61 upside is huge and should be alot more likely to stay in the side with their injuries.
