What type of McGinnity? The sledging version? I can live with that.
Yeah the smalls.
The one that kicks 4 goals against essendon.
Ahh you like the peptide edition. Good choice.
haha..timing is everything, he was sending a signal for his 2019 season?
LOL dropped marks. What a thing of the past.
Not sure about that - JD had a whopper in the last minute of the GF that would have made him a hero forever. I still can't believe he dropped it.
In the context of my post though, I raged a lot less at it this year. And in the dying moments we pulled off clean sweep coast to coast kick mark goal conversion. Talk about sploosh.
JDs drop was a shocker. To me it looked like he tried to see if he was going to cross the goal line before completing the mark, but he had the room. If two blokes are on him he marks it. The space they gave him then after a monstrous third quarter is amazing.
I suspect he was clever enough to sneak out the back and run hard to position. Such a shame he dropped it as it was amazing that he was able to find that space toward the end of a close game.

Boner holding McGinnity <3
Haha, freo posters on here. “Maybe don’t play so many talls” you mean the talls that allowed us to control the ball all year, kick and mark the ball more than any other side, and the talls that pretty much just won us the flag?? Yep, great strategy. Please, tell us more about game plans and players retiring without premiership medals

Sometimes a bold call pays off
Yep, it was a very awkward moment given all the negative press he copped from 2015's dropped mark.
It was a pity because he had some stellar moments through the season and that last mark (and goal?)
would've capped off his season wonderfully and boosted his confidence bank.
A bit like when had that great game (Tigers?), kicked a swag of goals, then got the last mark in the goal square
and jaw-droppingly missed the set shot. Maybe 2019 he's turned the corner on those clangers?
Strategic changes for 2019?....yes, I hope so.

This is quite funny in retrospect.

Need to put it in context - we had 16 players yet to debut and these 4 players were down on production in 2017.
Schofield had a great GF but really only pinch hit during the season enabling more games into Cole. LeCras certainly benefited from our new forward line. Hutch has got better each year and with a new midfield- he was excellent in his role.
But fair call - the players I wanted out did play their role much better in 2018. Out of them all - Marsten was probably the biggest surprise
