From the small sample set McKay has every bit as much talent as Joe Daniher.
He's our best forward prospect since Josh Kennedy.

Every chance McKay coulds kick 6 or 7 on some side this year.
Quite possibly correct on all three propositions.

But in reality we have seen McKay have a season to date which gives a high level of belief he belongs at this level. Topped by a "breakout game" in front of a dominant midfield and against a defence which had not one player with the physical tools to match up on him.

So the breakout was downhill with a tailwind.

Until or when McKay impacts a game to that extent against a strong defence (especially one not made up of midgets) and with his midfield getting toweled up, he remains clearly behind Daniher.

That's swimming against the tide, and Daniher has done it on multiple occasions. Most recently yesterday.

We've got a hell of a spine and that's fantastic. Just need to develop and grow the centers and peripheral players. Couldn't separate them at this stage, will be great to see them all fire, when this happens we're going to be good to watch.

Been thinking a bit about this one. And I reckon it's just about impossible to split them - the reality is you'd love to have any of them.

Very early in their respective careers but all have shown outstanding signs and project as magnificent long-term contributors.

Amazing to think we got them all in the one draft and SOS and his recruiting staff deserve a lot of credit for it.

If I have to choose one I'm probably going with Weitering. Probably the least flashy of the three but great teams are built on great defenses, and you can certainly see Weiters being a massive part of one of those.

Revisit in a decade.
