Coach #34: Jamie Macmillan - delisted after 167 NM games/46 NM goals - returns as NMFC AFL Footy Ops boss (reporting to L.Kane)

[Snake_Baker]

17 disposals @ 88%, 5 marks, 2 score involvements at half time.

Killing it again.

 

[Ischenko]

Was great tonight. I mean, everyone was. But JMAc was very very good. Great drive off HB, went when it was his turn.
He definitely has a role in a Shaw coached side if he keeps playing like that.

 

[Horizons_00]

He has been sensational in the past month

Where are the haters now?! The facts don’t lie!

 

[Snake_Baker]

Oh boy.

I hope the WBP aren't diabetics

 

[Ball Dont Lie]

Was fantastic. Didn’t put a foot wrong.

 

[Billy Not Really]

Superb tonight. I hope he carries this form well into the future.

 

[SlyCunnington]

I wanted him arseholed.

Time to re-assess probably.

He's locking down, playing within himself & contributing to a very solid back half.

I'm not necessarily getting on my knees about him being a locked in integral part of the back 6, but he's been ******* great really the last month or so.

 

[DuckYeah]

Increasing his trade value.. very good!

 

[Roosurgence]

3 in a row by JMac.

Very impressive 3 weeks, not much else you can say but well done and make that the benchmark.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

What impressed me was his movement. Threw a couple of steps, broke through tackles, hit up good targets.

 

[ferball]

I remember him playing like this years ago but up until recently thought I'd imagined it.

 

[Uncle_Leo]

Amazing turn around in form. I had him delisted at half time of the Hawks game and he hasn’t put a foot wrong since then.

 

[amaz199]

His best game tonight. He intercepted exceptionally well and was extremely good with the hands. Kicking was good as well.

The confidence running forward IS BACK!

 

[Phillyroo]

Standard.

 

[viccles]

Ok. I will admit I was wrong.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Ok. I will admit I was wrong.

Respect.

It's amazing what a different coach and different strategies can do for a player.

 

[Bigeasy]

Gees he's been so sure and calm the last few weeks and he is moving through traffic so well.

Gees he's been so sure and calm the last few weeks and he is moving through traffic so well.

He's playing with purpose, because he's not having to deal with convoluted tactics.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

I’ve always been critical of his leadership but over the last 3 weeks he really has been playing authority.

He is also spotting up shorter targets a lot better rather than kicking long down the line all the time.

34 touches @91% 7 marks and 540m is as good a game you’ll see from a half back.

Please keep it up.

Another ripping game from Jamie. Was everywhere.

He's locking down, playing within himself & contributing to a very solid back half.

The biggest part for me. He's playing tighter and pressuring up on opponents. He'll never be Pittard / Williams level of tight defending but when he starts from that basis and only attacks as suits he looks like a different player. Hard not to suspect that he was designated "attacking" HBF under the last system and trying too hard to make things happen. Good few weeks at this point.

 

[gokangas]

Played very well but still managed to pull some poor decisions out of his clacker. But probably his best game this year. Lets hope this is the new JMac!

 

[kingcarey1]

Looks more confident than a month ago. Playing like it means something to him. Well done Jamie on turning it around!

 

[WesternRoo]

Arguably his best game. He was magnificent.

Hopefully this continues next week and into 2020!

 

[dus]

Taking the easy option and not trying things out of his limitations has helped. Last night he had the chance to swing onto his left, and no doubt would have turned it over, but propped and ended up chipping backwards 20m and his right and maintaining possession. He’s never done that.

He played well for sure.
