ITS OVER HOW CAN NORTH RECOVER, THE SKY IS FALLING.

We need BBB 2019 thread!

Solid. The one effort when he didn't position in front of Lycettt which resulted in a mark & goal was a howler, otherwise he is battling manfully in a very undersized defence.

 

[darko]

21 goals in 13 games as a 20yo KPP is off the pace?

Ok I didn't realize those were his numbers. Watched 4-5 Blues games and he looked out of sorts especially his kicking.

 

[Kimbo]

Last year he was the greatest thing since sliced bread and now after 2 poor JLT games ppl are giving up on him. Seriously?

Do you even BigFooty?

 

[Snake_Baker]

Blues McKay looked off pace all of last season. Big guys take time. Put the pitchforks away.

Young KPD with half a game of AFL under his belt makes a few mistakes.......it happens. It's why we have praccy matches.

Simply put, he's lucky that we have so many key defensive issues early in the season because as it stands, he hasn't earned his spot.

Maybe there was a reason he didn't get a gig last year.

Yeah Daw, Thompson and Tarrant.

Name the last key defender we have recruited that has been decent?

He was so hot last year he forced himself into the team for 1 game...

Robbie Tarrant? Scott Thompson?

He defends fine, he doesn't dispose well. He's played two games as the main key defender though after playing one other senior game two years ago. Will look much better with Tarrant at his side.

Anyone who saw him in the VFL knows he can play. He just needs to settle and keep it simple.

This. He dominated VFL last season. Hoping he gets 15+ games under his belt this season.

He needs another true KPP in there with him.

Why would he play with Taz and Thommo in the side? What would be his role?

2nd tall and Thommo in that floating/intercept role.

 

[Snake_Baker]

2nd tall and Thommo in that floating/intercept role.

Yep.

Thommo is not an absolute KPF defender. He's much better suited to the tweeners.

I mean, by SBG's logic why would Majak play with Taz and Thommo in the side?

 

[shimaburnsgrieg]

2nd tall and Thommo in that floating/intercept role.

Yes - Daw's role for sure - but is he that type of player? I would have thought that Wright would be much better equipped for that. Playing BMAc, Taz and Thommo in the same team seems a bit too much.

Can he take intercept marks?

They call him "buckets" for a reason mate.

Unbelievable. 1 quarter of senior football and the pitchforks are out. He wasn't even that bad in the last JLT....Probably the same posters that were howling about him not being played last year. He isn't being played sky is falling. He is playing but has one bad JLT game. Sky is falling. I pray he doesn't read this thread.

Wright can't play on someone 6ft 6

Yep - they may call him that but I have seen Wright take ..you know ..intercept marks (when it counts) - with BMac I can see the potential but with Thommo and Taz in the team it seems way too immobile for mine to have BMac there as well.

Funny - I saw him play on Tex Walker in Hobart 2 years back and do a number on him. Then again maybe Tex isn't 6 6.

Yep. Daw too.....amazingly rapid development

Thommo can play on small forwards and offers quality rebound
