He wants out apparently.

Can we keep his left peg?

Maybe, black and b mac wanting out is the strong mail.

Where u hearing this from Kangaroos4eva ? PM if not appropriate here

 

[SuperJustSayan]

Unfortunately B Mac is what I'm hearing also, can't blame him either. Has one of if not the best leg at our club, his early VFL form didn't warrant selection but now he should be playing 1's or at least being in the 25.
I could see him being a regular at Adelaide next season.

The club would most likely want to hang onto Black rather than B Mac.

True, but l am sensing, mail aside, that there's a bit of an attitude problem.

We are talking about Black at the moment?

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

We are talking about Black at the moment?

Yep.

 

[Chazdog92]

Yep.

The handful of vfl games I have gone along to watch he does look very frustrated. That could also have to do with him having to play as the key forward. It would be sad to see him go.

 

[roos_18]

I've got great mail, he's not happy with the coach playing him as an inside mid. Wants to play afl football and thinks he's best suited as an outside player as we all do

 

[TwentyNine]

Holy moly, surely that's someone else's stat line? Give him a go at AFL.

 

[koshari]

I have no mail but blind freddy can see there are rumblungs within the team. United sides dont put in performances like some of the ones we have put in this year.

5. Brad McKenzie continued his good recent form with another high disposal game.

“We are really pleased that he’s getting that weight of possession now,” Dyer added.

“That’s a good five or six weeks now where he’s been able to get those numbers through the middle. They’re not cheap possessions, they’re either clearances or contested ball inside that he’s feeding to someone outside.

“He’s also spreading a lot better and using that defensively to find a few more possessions as well.”

Not sure he is quick enough to play purely as an outside mid in the seniors.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Reward his good form.

Get an elite kick in and replace our worst kick in Gibson

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Im starting to think he's had his papers marked.

How many times has he been an emergency this year?

Not sure he is quick enough to play purely as an outside mid in the seniors.

Surely he's smart enough to realise this, right? Nuffies on an internet forum can see that slowish players need at least a semblance of inside game, can't actual professional footballers? He's not going to displace the usual suspects in the stoppage setups but needs some appetite for the contest to get by at the level.

He's a full time professional footballer who realises he's being asked to round out his game, not "convert to inside mid", right?

Anyway, it's time. Get him in. Seems to be at the very worst sucking it up and doing what's asked of him. Reward for effort.

We do need more outside run and a player waiting around the midfield but not sure wether b mac has the leg speed though

 

[Flawed Genius]

Brad McKenzie: 28 disposals (16 kicks, 12 handballs), 5 clearances, 2 tackles, 4 inside fifties.

 

[scottywiper]

If JMac is not fit, bring him in while he's firing to replace the misfiring Gibbo.

 

[shintemaster]

Can't fault his numbers and consistency over the last couple of months. Has been getting a heap of it.

 

[Flawed Genius]

I don't believe Brad has had under 20 touches in the last month, month & a half of footy.

Has to be rewarded.

The wonders of being out of contract at the end of the year

 

[Northtobeunited]

I don't believe Brad has had under 20 touches in the last month, month & a half of footy.

Has to be rewarded.

His gone at the end of the year I don't want to go but his gone another victim of not having our own VFL side
