Past #23: Ben McKay - gone to * as RFA - NMFC awarded Band 1 pick #3 compo

[Friday Night Lights]

Should be leading the Brownlow tbh

 

[krakouers]

Burn, Mcgovern, Barrass

I think he means under the salary cap, not through Hungry Jacks franchises

 

[Themanbun]

Can we have another one up forward please.

 

[Billy Not Really]

I've been licking my chops at the prospect of McKay vs McKay for years, and now that the two brothers are surging in their game-day quality the eventual matchup is gonna be one hell of an entertaining game.

Can't wait to play the Blues this year, not only is it winnable, it's got a nice story to it.

 

[AnEmptyChair]

A while back I said that Ben had to become either an elite stopper or an elite interceptor to make up for his complete lack of offensive game. I wasn't sure that he had it in him and boy ******* howdy was I wrong. In fact, he's become both! What I love, too, is that he's so much smarter with the footy now. He understands his limitations and he's not trying to kick 30 meter darts up the eye-diddle-diddle. I'm sorry for ever thinking that Sam Durdin

was the one we should have persisted with over you, Ben. I'm an idiot sandwich.

He won’t get the praise he deserves because we are in a loosing team.

[Reagan Smash]

Any other team and the “journos” would be spaffing their daks

 

[Rad Roo]

We will get corr back soon, key defensive posts are more or less covered.

In terms of key forward, can xerri play a part in the forward structure and then ruck 20%? Surely, he has the fitness to do that.

 

[king rising]

Magnificent. Takes it as an insult losing a 1v1, we need more like him.

 

[Ligma]

I know it’s not a big deal but I wanna see if any journo has a brain to put him in their team of the week

I wrongly thought McKay would most likely not find his spot at AFL level, like durden and neilson before him. Very happy to be wrong. One of our most important players now. Sign him for 5 years!!

 

[Daniltchenko You Beauty]

Ben > Harry

 

[the big lebowski]

Last year vs Hawkins he was getting out bodied relatively easily.

Seems like he’s gone up another level.

 

[Supreme_Chancellor]

Made Porkins his bitch. Cried to his teammates and the umpires too haha.

 

[ohh_v]

In AA form tbh. Will not get the recognition that he deserves but no matter to us.

Just make sure we sign him up long term.

 

[Horizons_00]

He would perfect to transition into a forward. But we don’t have cattle atm

Hope he signs with us, but he will get some lucrative offers at the end of the year

I know we are crying out for a big, aggressive forward but Ben is just so good down back, a bit like Darcy Moore effect at Colliwobbles, just leave him there.

I think if we had a healthy backline, our forward line is our biggest issue (and of course the inside 50 delivery) so maybe he can swing positions

what about Taz going fwd ? just as a short term measure this year
Wouldn't be the worst FF going round

He will get some big offers. But

1: no one will be able to offer more than us

2: given his importance to our side, we would have to play hardball if he asked for a trade. Pay through the nose or we just re-draft him in the preseason draft on his nominated terms.

If we lost this guy after spending years offering big money to pipedream recruits I'd have a truck full of manure delivered to Arden St.

depends on the required application - horse? Cow? chicken is nitrogen rich, good for legumes

It was chicken that was applied at Punt Road wasn't it? Only took 15 years to achieve results.

I'll send them a split load of all three and some gloves that can put on to mix it with.

it'd be woeful list management.

It makes sense to do that eventually. Defenders do make great forwards.

But we need to address our injury management so we can have the ability to do these type of things
