Fair call on Docherty.
Hasn't gotten near it for the last 18 months.
Like he's not even out there.

Cripps and Docherty being mentioned in this thread made me laugh a lot.
We are allowed to have different opinions. Was completely anonymous in the last nine and a half minutes against Collingwood. His only touch was kicking the ball out on the full which directly led to a Collingwood goal. Not saying he isn't an excellent player- he is. But he's not as influential as many of your own supporters would lead you to believe and unfortunately he went missing with the game on the line on Saturday.
How is Tom Mitchell simultaneously:
a) The least influential gun
b) The reason why the Hawks won't make finals this year through his injury
This thread in its entirety is peak BigFooty.
I think Macrae gets more kudos than due.
O'Meara will get the 3 brownlow votes for the absurd numbers he racked up against us, but it was Shiels doing the damage
omg please stopPatrick Cripps.
After seeing Scott West, Lachie Hunter and Jack Macrae mentioned I get the sense this is just largely a measure of midfielders that don’t kick goals and therefore aren’t considered influential enough. Not necessarily an unreasonable position given Beveridge himself has said he wants more goals from his midfield.
That about sums it up. Although Hunter's disposal by foot under 20m is great. Any further though... And the less said about his handballs the better.Macrae is a damaging player, he hits targets in dangerous space and can draw the players around him. Lachie Hunter is just an accumulating winger with poop disposal and little hurt factor. Complete opposites.

I'm of basically the exact opposite opinion. I've only watched the dogs live this year, and maybe Macrae comes across better on the tv, but live it looks like his possessions always put the receiver under pressure. That's been a bit of an issue for them this year, pressure building throughout a possession chain until they turn it over.Macrae is a damaging player, he hits targets in dangerous space and can draw the players around him. Lachie Hunter is just an accumulating winger with poop disposal and little hurt factor. Complete opposites.

Cripps is the ****en best player in the competition. I don’t care what anyone says, right now, he is no.1.
How can you get the footy 30 times a game on be non-influential?
I'd much rather a player get 32 and go at 50% DE, then a guy who gets it 13-14 times and goes at 90% DE.
Of course the more you get it, the less you're going to use it well. To say a player like Laird or Mitchell are 'non-influential' is absolutely ridiculous.
Is this a polite way of stating a player that is perceived as overrated?
If so Gary Ablett Junior. Yes he might get 50 possessions a game, only about 20, have any real impact.
