Player Watch Andrew McPherson

[spexau]

Brodie Smith says hi

Matt Suckling does it too

 

[Untouchables22]

I would thought the longer you have contact with the ball the shorter the drop is and less room for a bad drop causing a bad kick. He's always been regarded as an excellent kick.

That was my recollection of his kicking too... just looks uncomfortable, especially his chip kicks.

 

[Untouchables22]

If he hits targets who gives a fu** how he guides the ball?

Sorry Dad. Was just discussing Andrew McPherson in the Andrew McPherson thread.
Hadn't seen much footage of him in a few years.

 

[Thetrader15]

Smith is similar, so is Sloane.

so he's a 50:50 chance to be great or terrible

I'd prefer if they all just kicked like Darcy Fogarty

 

[Thetrader15]

Seriously, how pathetic was the handball from Otten to him in the first clip.

He's about 3m away and it bounced twice under no pressure. Still, good practice for this weekend.

 

[Thetrader15]

Lots looking backwards and kicking sideways in the practice matches...he should fit right in

But you agree, I am right son.

 

[hey shorty]

Sloane is a pretty solid, if awkward kick.

The best thing about Moose is he loves to attack. With Milera, Hamill, Sholl (hopefully) and Doedee looking like he's added to his game we suddenly have options.

I liked the run on to provide options, 3 times

 

[Play On Advantage]

Reminds me of Nick Vlastuin. He took a while to come on but I would be very happy with if he turned out that good.

 

[Golumless]

I love how there is absolutely nothing in those highlights that could be considered exciting. He's playing with a bit of aggression, but it's always to a safe option.

Seems very much like a long term Brown replacement and could easily find himself in any AFL side long term if his defence is good on top of that.

 

[spenze]

Wonder if we play him on the HFF on Saturday, decide he sucks t that role and shitcan him

Padding the stats sheet....that's the Laird bit we are seeing

It's just the club's typical highlights package. The one for Ben Keays had regulation handballs for half of it.

Sounds like Jake Kelly

If you've seen the way half our team handballs, the regulation ones which hit the targets are the highlights

So if he can kick the ball he is way ahead of Kelly and Brown

 

[hey shorty]

His kicks didn't hit the moon

 

[Golumless]

Well, ahead of Kelly.

Those highlights all look like Brown from 2-3 years ago.

 

[hey shorty]

Well, ahead of Kelly.

Those highlights all look like Brown from 2-3 years ago.

I suspect once the confidence in the body reaches 100% we will see a bit more dare in his play.

Certainly has it in him.

 

[jackster83]

I like that he seems to be able to both attack and defend.

99% of our defenders are either one or the other.

 

[Mutineer]

I suspect once the confidence in the body reaches 100% we will see a bit more dare in his play.

Certainly has it in him.

Any junior footage I've seen of McPherson I'd class him far closer to Brodie Smith than Luke Brown, doesn't have quite the penetrating kick but better efficiency. I think there might still be some footage of that futures game he played in floating around on youtube.

 

[SmeggySmeg]

Well, ahead of Kelly.

nearly all the kicks went forwards, a couple of sideways handballs to a team mate on the run, didn’t back pedal from the mark for 10 meters and the kick backwards or to pack up the line, not sure how he could be confused with brown or Kelly.... go well Andrew

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Or neither
