Looks like we have ourselves a Capper here.
Hope he can kick it further than Wazza.
Anything from 45+ was out of his range as a rule.
Lace Out
Full of it.

Surely made the grade,big relief as we don't need many misses.
It's probably now just a matter of how good.Going to be fun to watch if he can get to a lot of contests and take a few clean grabs.His finishing looks 8/10 as well.

Didnt kick a goal on the weekend but effort was definitely there. If he can keep performing and keep his effort up then he should finish the year off strongly. Just looks a natural footballer which is what close lacks.

just attacks the ball jumps at it and isnt afraid to crash through people even though he doesnt have much size yet, if we can get him playing as the third tall and him actually improving his endurance and providing defensive pressure we can seriously have a game changing player

Can't wait to see him hold a speckie. I had the feeling when Talia was on him he was trying to drag him away from the play but later on with Bourke closer to goals it made it tough for him.
I think our Pagan's paddock gameplan doesn't really suit key forwards but I'd like to see him getting more of the ball up the field and even offer some overlap run.
I think in the second quarter of the crows game when he went up for the grab and it went threw his hands to smack him on the head he was the first to put pressure on the next person with the ball. Surprised me a lot. But totally agree he has massive upside and if we get Tippett or Dixon would release the pressure a touch so he can get a good jump at things.

There are guys who fly for the mark and generally land on their feet. McStay is starting to show that ability more and more.
Watching him on the weekend, I don't think he is far off another good performance. Too often, his opponent gets to initiate contact with him which puts him off balance just enough to spoil his attack on the contest. He's obviously most comfortable having a free run and jump at the footy but those opportunities don't come up too often. I think he just needs to get a bit smarter with getting an early bump on his opponent and then using his pace and agility to get a bit of space. He did this a couple of times last weekend and it bought him the little bit of space he needed. If he can be a bit more proactive in that regard, I think he'll get to more marking contests.

This isn't going to be the most in depth post but I have seen enough from McStay to feel confident when I state that he will turn out to be a very, very good player.

I think he'll have a Car sometime in the next 2-3 years. Whats the AFL handing out these days? Camerys still?
He's all teeth and no trousers at present. Get him behind the ball for a few touches.

Crackers suggesting McStay may be leaving...comparing it to Gunston trade.

Contracted for two more years after this one. My impression from his Inside Football column is that Crackers just throws s**t at walls and hopes some sticks.
The only part of this that may be true is the clubs chasing him part, as I have heard this rumour a couple of times now in the last 2 weeks, but given Steele Tallon (someone who would probably know the truth) said he would run naked through Brisbane if McStay left this year, I highly doubt he is going anywhere!
Think Crackers is way off the mark here. My mail is that McStay is very happy in Brisbane, and aint going nowhere. He's a kid of the highest quality character, and if that's what he says then I take that as fact.
I've followed him closely and would love it if he was keen on heading back down south, but from what I'm told that is not the case at all.
His old man is one of the best blokes you could ever know. Just as an aside, he's also the best tattooist in the country, not only in my opinion but in the eyes of many.

This is why I like Hawks supporters. People like yourself and that guy with Spangher as his display pic post good quality posts!
