McHenry got drafted in the top twenty because he sold a great story.
So Adam Simpson thought 3 of the 5 best players on the ground were West Coast players even though they lost? I'll give him Kennedy and Barrass but Nic Nat? Seriously? only gave Laird 2 votes as well?
They agreed on the top 4 right, just different placement of Laird? I think the top 4 of both coaches is accurate, definitely wouldn't have given Nic Nat a vote though.
He was flat out dominant in that first half, they killed us in clearances and he was a big reason why. If he played like that the whole game he probably would’ve gotten 4 votes from both coaches.
Also goes by kpi. Adelaide were more efficient. Younger sides like us should be greatly heartened for a win in this manner but not make it a rule.
100%. It was his worst game of the year by a big margin so I think it's fair to just see it as an outlier. He also had a snap at goal from the ruck touched on the line in addition to the one he kicked, and nearly had a second goal assist with the Keays one. If he does those two things he comes out of the game with 2 goals and 2 goal assists which is not a great day given he only had 5 possessions, but not dreadful.
Exactly this, I’m not comparing either to Fogarty, but far out, just have some patience with these kids. Even if some may not see it, there are attributes that they bring that if they bring more regularly, there MAY well be careers for them. Not saying they will definitely make it, but they may.
But you brought up Fogarty as an example of why you need to be patient, the difference is Fogarty is a KPF, who struggled for fitness, they always take longer but you could see he had AFL quality attributes.
Oh boy, comparing views of posters on Fogarty to these other kids, not the players. not that difficult, although tunnel vision may make you focus on the small things and miss the big picture.
Comparing posters views on players is irrelevant if you aren’t comparing the players
Even then you started this with a throwaway comment criticising posters, but you didn’t even name them, so who is doing that to warrant a bad? 
I don’t think Ned and especially Jones are gonna be long-term players for us at this point in time, but it feels off to generalise that smalls should always develop quicker than KPP players
Do you think McHenry has those attributes? Jones is one maybe needs more development because he has some attributes, but McHenry, just don’t see it besides his work ethic
Jones has better strengths but more obvious weaknesses, IMO (decision making is generally worse I think, as well as his wild inconsistency for the roles he’s played)
Best thing I saw from Jones was his second effort when halving a contest. He reacted pretty quickly.
That is a large part of the issue McHenry has played nearly every game of the last two seasons and is still retained if he plays a stinker - perhaps as you said the coaches know more than us mere mortals - but when do you cut your losses and move forward by finding a player that plays his role better?
Uhhhh .... what?
