Player Watch Daniel McStay

[Mollythedolly]

Welcome aboard the mighty Pies. May you bring much McGlory to the club.

 

[Mark W]

I just don't get the plans for how it all fits together with McStay, Krueger, Mihocek, Johnson, and Elliott (and that assumes only one of Cameron and Cox play in the ruck each week and not dep forward). The ball doesn't get in there enough to keep them all productive!

And before you say 'Kreuger or Mcstay will go key back', well, we will get Frampton also, so I'm not sure how we see all of them fitting in! And I don't think we've recruited any of these guys for depth only.

Depth is a good thing…

I dont understand what they mean by we would give up a 2nd rounder if it was 450k?

They're suggesting that if he was not a FA, he'd be worth $450,00 and cost a second rounder in trade.

Sydney couldn't win it with Franklin (199cm), Reid (196cm), and McLean (197cm)..... just saying.

Swans got there though.
One occurence does not make the rule.

Do you get the feeling McRae is going for an entire club list with the "Mc/Mac" prefix?
I think he has a cunning plan.
Rumour is it there has been a couple of applications at births,deaths, marriage for name changes to McDaicos.

Rumour is it there has been a cupule of applications at births,deaths, marriage for name changes to McDaicos.

I don't think McLipinski or McDe Goey work terribly well.

Hmmmm, funny that given that's the point I was making. There is no definitive formulae.

Absolutely looking forward to watching Daniel ply his craft at the Pies. I believe that the Pies will be better for having him in the side.

I’m happy to play back pocket.

 

[FromTheBoundaryLine]

Welcome aboard Daniel. Think this bloke will relish the opportunity to assert himself as a true KPP but also has shown a willingness to put team first. Should fit right in.

 

[left at home]

While mcstay is no superstar forward he will do the team things very well and take pressure of the other forwards
And if they do ignore him the opposition he will kick a few as he did with Brisbane
He will do well with us

 

[GoldenMagpie16]

Could we play him in the backline?

 

[Bogsey]

Bringing McStay in gives us so much flexibility with our KPP now.

Frampton, Krueger and he have all played at both ends. And all can play roles in the ruck to go with Cox and Cameron. It'll be interesting to see how it works if we try to squeeze them all in... including Moore, Howe, Murphy and Mihochek. Possibly even Dean.

There's not much youth in the way of KPP for us, thus might be the new club tactic, bring in mature Leigh Brown mould types that can play a role and get the job done.

We seem to keep swinging and missing on young KPP; McClarty, McCarthy, McMahon. I just noticed the pattern... maybe McStay wasn't a great choice...

 

[ThePhantom777]

He will straighten us up and allow us to go through the middle even more than we did this season. We'll see immediate impact from round 1 with his addition. Exciting times ahead.

 

[TradeDraft]

Could we play him in the backline?

Was not what we brought into to do but can play down back IF Needed

 

[Buckleys_Chance]

I’m hoping his addition is not only for impact next season but to provide support for a big fish KPP trade target in 2024.

Surely forward pocket. Stick your arm in the air and shout “kick it to me”.

McStay as KPF FA, and draft another U18 forward this year to develop.

Ben McKay next year as KPD FA.

There were rumours Naughton is unhappy at the dogs. He can play both ends of the ground. I’m hoping it’s him or King from the Suns. A gun KPD would be sensible but there’s something about a big forward that is so much sexier.
