Being at the game yesterday made me realise a few things..
1st one was....we have to trade McPhee before he's worth nothing at all..
2nd thing....we have to trade Mcphee..
3rd....can we trade McPhee? Will anyone want him?..
Very disappointing effort...
I've had it with him

I am usually a bit of a fan of mcphee but last night as it has been for a number of weeks but his decision making has been ****ing ordinary indeed and cost us at important times in the match...not the smartest footballer in the world that is for sure

Every 1 of those 100 games i will cherish forever!!! I said 2 months ago on here he was a overrated player! Now i can see why Fremantle pissed him off!

Just have to convince another club they want a bloke who turns the ball over like no-one else in the comp.
Does he have a list of blokes he will kick to, and only kicks it to them?
He only ever passes to Lloyd, Lucas or Hird.
Which is not great when Lucas is in the backline, and Lloyd has 3 opponents hanging off him.

Who would want him?
One good year, and not much else. He will be around next year, turning the ball over and trying to be a hard man................

You forgot as well as getting his mug photographed in the 'Society section of the Hun' at some ****y hair salon opening the night before a game. Such a knobbo.
Usually at the footy I am well controlled and just watch the game as a spectacle but McPhee can now claim that he is the first ever bloke to rile me with such an insipid effort!
Fair Dinkum spud of the highest order!

Stand by Hird
I concur. Winder and NLM will do just fine as the attacking HBF.
His Essendon career has been a bell curve with me. First few games I thought there was something a bit wrong with this bloke but then he started to win me over, peaking with the AA, but he's been on a downward spiral since then.
He's very much trade bait though he's looked pretty good playing up the field the last couple weeks. Certainly presents well and finds space, it's just his footy brain (lack of) lets him down so often.

agree. mcfly should be packed off to ireland in return for some martin clarkes. his papers should be signed 'never to return to OZ'.
where are his supporters now!?!? V.quiet after last nights shermozzle.

I'm not necessarily a supporter and he did have a poor game decision wise but in his defence, he was one of the only players who were having a dip and actually looked like he was trying. Most of the others were pathetic.
Of course they're going to be quiet, he had a shocker what do you expect. It's exactly the same as when he has a good game, all his knockers are very quiet. If you don't have ammunition you don't say anything do you. That's how it works, especially on Bigfooty.sameolds said:
I used to rate Mcphee very highly as a player and thought it was only injury that kept him from AA form. This year, he started off well but has gone downhill since then. His game yesterday was pretty pathetic - don't value him anywhere near what I used to, would not want him at Carlton.
I`m sure Smokey would be relieved to hear that news.

Because no one will want to leave the raging Bombers.
Thought the effort for Hird and Sheeds by the Bomber boys on the weekend was admirable, really got up for the game.
Good effort to get within 5 goals, pity they had to play a side as good as the Tiges. Because no one will want to leave the raging Bombers.
You do realise you're 6 wins below us and an absolute rabble, dont you?
You do realise that you're 6 wins ahead of us and still a rabble? Essendon have clearly over-performed this season, had a stellar first half of the season given their list, however after the break have only won 3 games, two of those to bottom 3 sides.
Not meant as a troll, just where I think your side is at. Sheeds has persisted with the older guys too long, not putting enough gametime into the younger players. Out of your 9 players 28+, only two are realistically a chance of being apart of serious finals push, being Lloyd and Lucas, with maybe Peverill an outside chance. The other 6/7 are either too old or not good enough. Essendon obviously has the advantage in experience over Carlton - however, given the state of both lists, I'm not so sure that is an advantage.
Your youth, whilst a few gems (Gumbleton will be a star) - is not as strong as Carlton's is, and are also less experienced, given Sheedy's continued playing of the older guys. I expect it'll be a rough couple of years for the Bombers, as the burden shifts from the 28 year olds to the under 21's who are largely inexperienced. I'd give Carlton the nod in the youth category - however most are untried thus hard to call. Still, the potential addition of two elite talents will clearly push it in Carlton's favour.
In the 21-26 year olds, I'd say both sides are about even in terms of numbers, with approximately a dozen guys each who look worthy of long term options, Essendon's being (obviously wouldn't be a good a judge as you Bomber supporters, but from what I've seen):
McVeigh, Hille, Lovett, Lovett-murray, Davey, Winderlich, Laycock, Watson, Slattery, Stanton, Nash and maybe Mcphee - can't comment on Chartes or Lee. That's 11-12 out of 20.
Carlton's: Stevens, Scotland, Fevola, Houlihan, Waite, O'hAilpin, Thornton, Carrazzo, Fisher, Simpson, Walker, Jamieson, Bentick and possibly Cloke and Aisake (whom I'm confident on but yet to be seen at AFL level). That's 13-15 out of 23.
Might be biased, but I'd definitely choose Carlton's 21-26 year olds. Looking forward, neither side looks to have any immediate success. Yet I maintain that Carlton's long term future is brighter than Essendon's - we might be mediocre now but we are definitely on the rise - and back to the issue, not sure Mcphee would ideally choose either of these clubs, but Carlton to me is the more enticing option.

I think this sums up some supporters dislike of McPhee. Basically its for no apparant reason than he gets his head in the paper sometimes.
McPhee tried exceptionally hard again Sunday night. There were plenty of players worse than him the other night but hey, he's an east target like Kepler and Bolts so lets all get stuck into him.
The couple of times he did make poor decisions came on the end of about 3 or 4 running bounces. He was obviously stuffed and basically his body wouldn't let him do what his brain wanted. You try running full tilt for 100 meters, bouncing the ball and pin-pointing a 40 meter pass. Its not bloody easy.
Once again, some of the younger players escape criticism. Its just so easy to pin it all on McPhee.
Gumbleton for example was pathetic on Sunday. Sheedy gave him a shot at CHF Sunday night, moving Lucas down back and he failed miserably. Reimers was out-muscled constantly. Dempsey whilst showing great signs turned the ball over constantly. Monfries was again just mediocre. Welsh apparantly cannot kick more than 30 meters or how else can you explain his dinkly little 30 yard chip kicks that he attempts all the time.
Some of you lot need to watch the game properly and stop just finding the first easy target to blame available.
Those of you calling for him to be traded have absoloutly no idea about where our list is in regards to 23-26 year olds at the moment. To put it frankly, its not great and getting rid of McPhee would just make it worse.
Leave him alone. All of you.

Was just about to say...He ran all night on Sunday. He made some bad decisions, but our whole team did (Even wonder-boy Jim). At least he put the effort in fellas; can't say the same for many others on our list.
i'd have to agree. he was one of the few players on sunday night who busted their ass and ran all night. he did make some terrible decisions though, and has done consistently for pretty much the last 2 years.
