A Few Pictures of My Man, # 45 Brent Macaffer.

BTW: Tyson Goldsack doesn't live with Macaffer etc. anymore (so you might want to take him off the list of who Macaffer lives with)

Macaffer is the most interesting player on the list, I reckon. I just don't know where he fits in.

His main position is as a medium forward, but we already have Didak, Medhurst, Egan, Pendlebury (resting) ahead of him in that position. We also have a fair few small forwards as well.

To become a regular he probably has to be able to push into the midfield, but I don't know if he has the pace or the tank to do so. (This isn't a dig at him, I just really don't know if he does). I'm not really sure what he can add to the team.

Could be a big year next year as he will be fighting for survival.

I would have thought this guy should be a gun player,full forward of the year and leading goalkicker in TAC, and yet he only kicked 4 goals all last year???Was he carrying an injury or something

played alot of the year as HBF and Midfielder really his only games forward was when the 12-10 rule forced him out to the willy seconds (one of the reasons fro standing alone), those four golas if a i remeber correct came in his best match in the seniors

Hey people, sorry I haven't done this for a while because I have been moving house.

Brent Macaffer has been in dazzling form of recent weeks. He has kicked 13 goals in the past 3 weeks including a bag of 5 on the weekend against Box Hill on the weekend.

Is putting his hand up for selection, which is good to see.

yeah played alot in the back half last year.

i dont know why i think they wanted to teach him to tackle.

Glad he has been sent back forward and is reaping rewards

Will Macaffer keep his spot for the next month? Can he play half forward or is he purely in the Rocca/Anthony mould playing out of the square?

I wouldn't - he's not going to rack up the possessions any time soon. He'll be good for our team, but not for your dream team!

As long as he plays, it's all good. Plus he get's a fair few tackles.

Anyone know how he went in the VFL? Will he get re-named anytime soon?

Not this week when i would've thought he was a chance. Apparently didn't do well in the 2's last week.

Well hopefully he hits some form. Just picked him up in DT a couple of weeks ago...
