AFL Player # 1: Andrew "Pidge" McGrath (Vice-Captain)

[Beerfish]

Contract Status: Restricted Free Agent 2024
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 13, Vindicater

Using him out of position.

He'll still effect the game because he's a complete natural and gets involved of his own accord but he's quite clearly a far more natural running defender than he is a midfielder

Wingman and midfielder are two different things, I never once saw him play on a wing in his 18s year he was either half back or in the guts and he has spent little to no time in the guts for us this year.

thought he'd be a good one to run with Titch. Has excellent nullifying skills, plus pace and the engine.
Tackles, uses it well in congestion and evasiveness.

Wouldn't mind seeing him at the coal face more often in a head to head with the oppositions ball winner.

 

[Rumple Foreskin]

He's another who'd do well to have a bull servicing him from the coal face, rather than him serving himself.

 

[FlyingV]

I think his best role is as a quarter back, similar to what GWS is doing with Whitfield... he has great leaping ability which is being wasted on the wing.

Only issue is it may limit our ability to use Saad and McKenna in such a way.

 

[Legend Lucas]

Forced to go back tonight and back to beating his man then providing rebound off the back of it. Definitely his best role currently

 

[eDPS]

Just a friendly reminder why this kid is so special

 

[Whispering_Jack]

One of his best games for the club IMO

 

[Zach Package]

Thinks in 3D. He's just super nifty footballer.

 

[Barry Roundhouse]

The cleanest hands in the business

 

[quotemokc]

I like him playing behind the ball setting and up the play.

 

[Whispering_Jack]

Thinks in 3D. He's just super nifty footballer.

Nifty is the perfect word for him.

 

[DERO]

Can't wait until he really gets going. Oh baby.

 

[Vindicater]

Reckon he should stay in the backline with Saad.

I want McKenna further up the ground delivering into the fifty

 

[Yoda_]

Never fully got going this year. Solid enough and one who I was happy with but his upside is still huge.

 

[daffo]

Classic second year blues. He'll be huge next year.

 

[Snake Charmer]

Classic second year blues. He'll be huge next year.

Thought his output was fine this year. Was never going to be an instant star. Both he and Mcclug needed a few years In the system.

 

[doug85]

I thought he was fine this year. He had a more challenging role than in year 1.

 

[Stopher]

Classic second year blues. He'll be huge next year.

If that was his version of the 'blues', then he's going to be pretty ******* ace.

 

[BrunoV]

What was telling this year is how (comparatively) slow he looked when playing in the middle.

He's obviously anything but slow so it's a good example of how much of a step up it is playing in the middle both in terms of the physical requirements and with pressure coming from 360 degrees.

I don't think it means that he necessarily had a worse year than last year. His individual impact was not as noticeable due to a changed role.

I'd mark it down to "second year blues" if he was still playing in defence and getting belted by opponents.

 

[DapperDon]

We should 100% trade him as we never know what we could get!!!!!!

Had a weird dream that we traded him to West Coast for picks 2, 7, and 19. Not sure why or when it happened during his career but y'all reckon he could be worth that much someday? Or more?

 

[RedmanWasHere]

On the AFLPA website, there's a little video of him and Cameron Rayner chewing the fat a bit.

Check it out.

 

[Lore]

I don't think he had a single sip out of that cup, was holding it sideways the whole time
