You're quoting Wardlaw's stats and attributing them to McKercher.
Perhaps lay off the pipe, go get 6-8 hours sleep and come back with a clear head.

I long for the cracky, miss it. But yeah nah, you (and your fellow Big Birds) keep referring to McKercher's start of year v HR - and sure you'd be correct in eyes of neutrals, however if you can't see that McKercher was a different player after his chat with Clarko, then I'm sorry. Doesn't mean I'm dismissive of your opinion, just means you haven't watched us (why would you?).
Just admit it, we'll move on.

You're still on the pipe if you're trying to insert yourself in a conversation about Wardlaw vs Reid's kicking efficiency by taking Wardlaw's stats and attributing them to McKercher.
Everyone else moved on from McKercher.
Ok, so lets see how many goal assists he got from round 14 to the end of the season, he played 11 games. Now maths isn't my strong point, but if 1 + 1 = 2. Then 2/11 = 0.1818 GA per game.
Is that more or less than Harley Reid's 0.3 per game?

Who cares? You're not exactly comparing premiership players who guided their team to the flag.
You're talking about 2nd year players in awful teams. Get a grip.
Harley Reid is bog ordinary and McKercher not much better (at least he can run).
It's hardly Steve Malaxos v Jose Romero, is it?
Sheezel had a relatively poor year from his high standards.
His 0.3 goal assists was well down, especially considering he had 0.9 the year before.
He also had 5 turnovers per game
Hence he didn’t make the all Aust squad like the year before

So Sheezel was one of the worst kicks in the league this year?
The more likely scenario is that goal assists aren’t a great measure of kicking ability.
Just relax mate. I’m sure Harley will come good
Sheezel taking him to school in the last qrt in Bunbury should provide Harley with a clear path on how to get better

Deflect.
I’m not deflecting.
No shezzel is not one of the worst kicks in the comp
His kicking is probably a little over rated though. Or at least it was in 2025
Went from 14.1 in 2024 to 8.12 in 2025
Literally you. You made goal assists the indicator. Even called out that specific period as mckercher taking a step up in goal assists.

No. You ignoramous. That's not the only reason.
He went into the midfield, so racking up 40 at HB was 2024, winning his own aggot and being pressured more (some) causes disp. eff. % to fall.

Richmond are propped up (to 17th) by a bunch premiership players that will need to be replaced in the next few years. There's years left of pain.
North's young players have taken over now. There's no reliance on veterans. Only way is up.

JHF got you Mckercher? You’ve got your wires crossed Scab.
Not sure Thredgold was part of the Richmond trade either. That was Norfs natural second rounder this year.
Xavier Taylor would have been your pick if you’d kept him. Would have slotted in perfectly in a position of need.
Keep punching down though bud.
Round 19, 2016.
Tigers flogged by GWS by 88 points.
Go read what you all thought at that time.
Media and fans were calling for Hardwick to be sacked. Fans were not happy. It was a pretty low point.
Delidio was traded and the players and coaches who stayed got read the riot act. Got put on their last chance.
It worked. History shows what happened next was a purple patch in Richmond's history.
The club went from a basket case in 2016 to premiers x 3 over the next 4 seasons.
Funny thing is we saved our skins, you guys are fooked!

Disagree, we are methodically bringing our players in with mentoring from premiership players. Imagine when you were 18 just being given the reigns to a business or management.
We are doing it better.
Yeah that's great but it doesn't mean you're 'ahead' in a rebuild.
Your list is a black hole between the ages of 24 and 28. When those vets leave, you have the same issue we've had the last five years - no veterans to continue mentoring.
We've just got through that.
100 games of experience to near reach their peak . However they’ll need to have at 30 games with experienced players around .

If you say so. I don't disagree that you're more attractive to FA (which will soften the blow somewhat) but you're a)not going great based on your bnf results and b) have a few more years to go in the wilderness (probably 7 lbh)
You might be able to avoid another 2 win season but as the eagles showed this year, when the ass falls out of the experienced players, things go south quickly

Makes you wonder how you've ended up with one of the worst 21-25 year old group in the comp. Weren't they all mentored by the same premiership players?
