Past #23: Ben McKay - gone to * as RFA - NMFC awarded Band 1 pick #3 compo

[Snake_Baker]

8 marks.

He made a couple of blues, but will tidy that up over time.

7 tackles & 4 score involvements are outstanding for a seasoned KPD much less an 8 game player.

Coming along nicely.

He fits

What is his spoil to out marked ratio in reasonable contests?

30 to 1?

Just kills the ball and his opponent. If they don't get it lace out, they aren't outmarking him.

I think he understands his limitations very well. Punches when he should and marks when he can. He will very easily slot into Tarrant's role

I mentioned previously that I have seen Shaw putting a lot of time in to him when I went down to Arden Street.

He's playing the percentages like all good defenders.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

The foundations were always there.

He seems to have found another gear and more belief. His field kicking and decision making with ball in hand had improved out of sight, compared to the VFL games I watched last year.

 

[hellas_johnny]

Liked it when he went on a run and delivered into the fwd50 resulting in a goal. Building confidence must keep going if he keeps building like he is he will be that perfect tarrant replacement we've needed when he finishes up

would still be the worst short kick in the team by some margin. Missed every kick under 25m. Some by 2-3 metres. Tarrant rarely misses. Still a long way to go in my view.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Pump as many games into him as we can while Tazz is still around. The value of Tazza’s leadership and guidance on someone like Benny would be huge.

Went at 73% DE and only had one turnover today.

 

[The acurate one]

How good was he, wow, the shittest of years could unearth a few very bright prospects. Is 2020 the year that sets us up, finally?

good candidate for the golden fist.

 

[Passmore]

Went at 73% DE and only had one turnover today.

He had one stinking kick. That’s all. Just needs to watch that. Otherwise he was really good. As he has been the past 3 games.

If he can keep building, it can be huge for us. Wipes out a pending disaster when Tazz gives it away.

 

[Roosurgence]

I hardly noticed Tarrant at all today which was a good sign that McKay and Walker are both playing their parts.

The 2023 premiership speech...”finally, I’d like to thank China....”

 

[tazaa]

Happy that he’s got a good run of games in the ones.

 

[GS WARRIORS]

Kept up with Lynch when he was on him. Lynch is one of the best hard running up the ground forwards in the comp and at 200cm to stay with him was impressive. Looks like he can play on different types of forwards.

Playing with more confidence each game. Took a good intercept mark.

A keeper. Massive for our rebuild.

Yep. I always don't mind the errors. He will learn and work on that. It's just confidence. I like how he knows he is big and strong.

 

[Souup]

I'll put my hand up - I wrote him and Durdin off.

Very glad he's proving me wrong. Sam Durdin... over to you

 

[Hojuman]

And the more they keep finding their feet, win, lose or draw the better off we'll be in the long run.

10 of the 22 and under brigade in today. Thomas missing. Walker not far away. Comben and Perez to come plus multiple 1st rounders coming.

 

[SMaturin]

Possibly the most important cog in the next phase of the club.

To have a potential 10 year fullback locked away would be truly sensational.

 

[the big lebowski]

Went at 73% DE and only had one turnover today.

He had 3 really dodgy short kicks.

One early on when he had a go at his teammate for not marking it. A grubber kicking backwards in the second. And the turnover for goal in the third.

But overall he kicked some nice ones too. One to Maj. The play where he took the game on which lead to a goal. And a nice cross ground kick that set up a team mate inside 50.

The main thing is that he’s so much more confident with the ball in the air than what he showed last year. Glad for him and the club!
