Give him some ******* midfield minutes already.

 

[Loonerty]

Amazing stuff.

Give him some ******* midfield minutes already.

I think the idea of holding off kids in safer positions is good most of the time, it's pretty clear he's above that and could be ultilising his run and carry through the middle of the ground through handball receives and hit ups on the lead. Fitness doesn't seem to be an issue either, he runs out games beautifully, you can see him wanting to impose himself further up the ground and has to end up holding back a bit.

Nankervis may have kicked the winning goal and yeah yeah but McGrath outmarked him in a contest so theres that

 

[Wangawuti]

Well played tonight. His hesitation to tackle Martin in the middle of the ground in the third quarter was disappointing although he made up for it with some clutch marking in the last.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Considering it was only his ninth game hIs second half was phenomenal.

 

[vast]

I can believe I didn't pick this guy for supercoach team. Im such an idiot.

 

[eth-dog]

Thank Christ we have this kid.

Take Colyer out and move McGrath into his role and bring in McNiece or Gleeson.

 

[FlyingV]

Wouldn't mind a mid season highlight reel of this kid

 

[Parish2McGrath]

Needs to play midfield now. One of McNeice/Gleeson in to take his spot and Colyer out. We're not good enough yet - let's fastforward his development.

 

[citizen-erased]

Take Colyer out and move McGrath into his role and bring in McNiece or Gleeson.

Ambrose is back soo.

Baguley Hartley Ambrose
McKenna Hurley Kelly

That will hold up nicely enough.

This kid needs to get into the middle to lead in the effort stakes.

 

[Doss]

This kid is unbelievable.

 

[Stopher]

Well played tonight. His hesitation to tackle Martin in the middle of the ground in the third quarter was disappointing although he made up for it with some clutch marking in the last.

I actually thought he anticipated the fend off, tried to grab the arm (which forces a quick kick usually) but missed.

Good thought process, but knowing how to stop Martin and actually doing it are different things. He'll learn from it though, I'm sure

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Was wrong about this kid glad he's ours.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

I wonder when was the first utterance of Pidge that would suggest draft material was.

 

[JDavey]

Is Burton the only player standing between him and the Rising Star?

Marchbank is a chance and Taranto is going under the radar thus far.

 

[Runk]

This kids a Rising Star lock. A LOCK!

This. Woosha please read these forums and do this.

 

[ezard15]

Would really like to see him put into the midfield now.

Seems like a bit of a waste having him in the backline.

Maybe they could bring Gleeson or Mcniece in and give ol mate Colyer a run in the twos.

 

[Stopher]

McKenna starting to offer a bit of run and carry out of the backline should hopefully alleviate the need for Andy to be back there as much.

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

Very nice player

 

[eDPS]

 

[JayJ20]

I agree. McNiece and McKenna in our backline, unleash McGrath in the midfield at least for a portion of the game to see how our midfield improves. Those quick hands will be very handy there.
