There were a few times earlier on in his career where he streamed through the middle and hit a forward lace out with a precision kick, it frustrates me because at present he is still one of the least-most damaging players in the 22. He was solid tonight without being outstanding but, like Atley id love to see him on the end of hand passes so we can utilize their run and carry.

He was horrible! The amount of times he let the ball get past him was atrocious. Live at the game you really see how limited a footballer he is.
Na, he was really good tonight. Hardly beaten... And was creative with the ball.
Also sets us up so well.

He had no opponent he was loose on the wing ?!?!?! He was horrible, 13 nothing possessions playing loose on the wing, you are easily pleased.
He was "loose on the wing" because he works hard, and provides an option. Unless Essendon played with 17 and decided they wouldn't have a wingman pretty sure that he wasn't s loose man in the wing all night.
I'm not easily pleased at all, Spitta kicked the ball like shit tonight...... That needs to be fixed.

Just wondering, do you have a quota of anti JMac posts that you need to get per day? Do you reach that quota with hours to spare every day? Did JMac steal your missus in high school or something???
Plenty of posters here with the same quotas. Most are hunting either JMac, or Jacobs, or Wright. Dont worry though, they will change over time, and they tend to forget the negative posts they write.

He was pretty average tonight, got himself into bad spots. His decision making wasn't great, took the safe easy option instead of taking the attacking one on a few occasions.

Like I said earlier, needs game time before we can judge him properly.

Open your eyes, the wingman were playing miles apart and he could hardly get a sniff of it. If Mason a Wood is left out of the side in favour of this potato then we're rooted!

So who was the opposition wingman that murdered us going the other way???
Also Wood plays a completely different role.
Rewatch the Geelong game to see someone panicking down back. Wood had some crazy moments in that game.

Game time in the VFL. I can't believe we rested a kid with talent just so Brad could get his under performing love child back in the team.

You can't judge him on there wingman playing like a spud. In a team who had plenty of ball he was playing loose on a wing and was still ineffectual. Yes wood had some panicky moments but were you not watching McMillan fumble and let the ball get past him on several occasions? Yes Wood plays a very different game, because he can actually draw the ball playing on the wing. McMillan never creates anything, in fact he tends to do the opposite and ruin the flow of the game when he has it.

Let me guess....
JMac shagged your missus too??
He did not fumble, he was clean.
