Coach #34: Jamie Macmillan - delisted after 167 NM games/46 NM goals - returns as NMFC AFL Footy Ops boss (reporting to L.Kane)

[tazaa]

Lachy had zero preseason. JMac had a massive preseason! And missed three weeks, slightly different.

AFL football intensity cant be taken for granted.

 

[Roosurgence]

We don't have any good young players who are ready ...Dumont might be good enough for AFL, might not be, we don't know yet. Other than that, new draftees miles away yet ... I don't think BS has favourites, at least can't think of one who is keeping someone else out.

Are we talking about the same player who was massive in the last quarter against Geelong as sub? Looked like he could play at the level to me! Good form needs to be rewarded, not punished by being dropped and replaced by a potato!

 

[Flawed Genius]

I think he should be dropped.

He won't be. But he should be.

 

[The Nostradamus]

I think he should be dropped.

He won't be. But he should be.

Hopefully match committee come to the same conclusion and drop him but like you I have little faith

 

[ThePezDispenser]

I think he should be dropped.

He won't be. But he should be.

The option was to not bring him in.

Whilst in, only has him out of the side.

J Mac over thinks the game and doesn't play on instinct is my conclusion after watching the game live and then a replay.

This is probably a result of not playing enough footy in the last 12 months.

The whole team over thinks.

First option football is non existent.

I agree, but if you watched J Mac closely, its clear he was struggling more than most on Saturday.

Its also a massive problem at around the ground stoppages, we are either not very smart as a side or the coaches message isn't getting through.

 

[Deadeyeroo]

Yep, all those that said that Luke should come back via the VFL are just plain wrong!!!
Atley was worst on ground for me, and he was a fair way out in front.

Obviously you didnt see Blacks game.

Finally someone who speaks some sense.

 

[archereleven]

'We'll back him in to play well this week'

 

[Deadeyeroo]

Seems to perform ok against average teams but struggles against the top teams, much like a lot of players in our team I guess.

Was pretty good against the cheats in the EF last year when we needed someone to stand up.

When your a lock as he seems to be your bound to have a half decent game against most competition, not that the cheats are a top team btw.

You were right

 

[ThePezDispenser]

You were right

It wasn't obvious to you that he wouldn't be dropped?

Named on the wing what's more. I realise the positions are a joke but really? At least wingman in this day and age are the most accountable.

Sorry??? Are you saying JMac isn't accountable?

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Mans his opposition closely, then whales his arms around like an inflatable tubeman when going to tackle. Tackle gets broken opposition gets the score.

Very accountable is our Jaime

Yawn.... These blatantly stupid inaccuracies are just plain boring.

Parallel running to the ball carrier drives me mental.

Commit, catch, bury.

 

[Chazdog92]

Even in the afl game I play on the xbox 360 Jamie can't hold a tackle. Cracked me up the other day.

 

[Saintly31]

Must play better this week and justify his selection.

Very lucky to hold his spot and hope he rewards the faith.

 

[Only Forwards]

I don't think he was lucky at all.

I thin JMac holding his spot was almost completely predictable.

He played poorly and is still coming back from injury.

I'd have liked to see him in VFL for a game or two then come in when ready to contribute. (as per Hansen)
