News Jed McEntee returns to Sturt

[RussellEbertHandball]

Great tackle at the end. At the game, from my seat on the outer, I thought he kicked it, until I saw everyone hugging DBJ.

I saw him rushing into that pack situation.

It certainly doesn’t help with SPP going down. I’ve seen the magpies play a few times this year. Tom Anastasopoulos looks promising. He’s quick, a nice mover and has good goal sense. But there’s not much of him. But having said that his tackling has surprised me. He’s one worth watching

Yea I don't mind him either but he's a pup.

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

Bloke lays one tackle and is the second coming of jesus

Fair dues it was a match winner, but the bar is set very very low……

 

[Schulzenfest]

I honestly wished they called it holding the ball and he kicked after the siren, as the memes whether he kicked it or not would’ve all time legendary

Even I can admit a McEntee winner after the siren would have led to some truly elite banter, albeit most of it at my expense. Especially given that it would have followed him having done absolutely nothing for the three quarters and 19:50 minutes beforehand, which if anything would have only added to the banter.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Didn't Kane Mitchell kick a last minute winner against Norf once?

The McEntee selection would be like picking a specialist fielder in the Australian cricket team.

Sure, he’ll get a few nice run outs every now and then, but is it enough?

It is for those in charge if that's his role, I think we are gonna see more pressure forwards with no objective to get the ball at all it's all about blocking, niggle & tackling.

We might have to get used to it & rate their performances by different metrics.

Jedsus might just turn the ice baths into wine after his heroics last night.

He kicked the sealer in round 3, 2015 against North.

I never understood the Mitchell hate on here though. Sure, he was limited as a player, but he ran his absolute guts out and was imo the best sub in the league at the time, because his running completely opened up games in the midfield.

His disposal was awful. But he got about 4x the amount of footy, had more tackles per game, more 1%ers and scored as many goals a game as Jed.

 

[jackag24]

All i can remember of Kane Mitchell is the time that BT thought he kicked a barrel in the air and then ran 100 meters and caught it himself

And that time we employed 2 taggers (Mitchell and Ebert) against Richmond

Good job we didn't have old mate Matthew Nicholls umpiring - he would've paid that as in the back.

Hawthorn owe Amon a lot, we at Port Adelaide owe him more, where our two late goals came from his mistakes.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

Another poor game but with a game winning tackle.

Watching Mitchell miss a tackle against a swans midfielder (Kennedy I think), when he came in from the side and had Kennedy completely unaware (I think Kennedy then turned and goaled or some bs) led to my one and only ban from the port forum. Very limited footballer was Mitchell.

He was a bit of a fan favourite I reckon because he was just an honest, hard worker, never give up type of player, seemed like a good bloke too.

Henceforth shall be known as

"Tiger" McEntee

Let's look at the guy and celebrate him when facts say it's not correct? Sounds like religion

Not quite true.

I watched the full replay today. Saw Mac get 3 kicks (that went to no-one on his team, other than Mead near the finish - who sacrificed his body and took the big hit to thump the ball deeper into attack), 2 handballs that found team mates (one team mate was under extreme pressure, the other was to Houston on the boundary who kicked a point), and 2 tackles (including the last one, for which he unashamedly gets top marks).

I make no other comment!

 

[PJ Power]

I was told that he kept Weddell distracted by talking to him non-stop for 120 minutes, which kept him down to his lowest disposal count for the year. Whatever it takes, Jed is the ultimate team man and will deliver.

 

[Phar Ted]

I missed todays game due to local footy, how did the great Jedalenko go?

Looked a million bucks out there

Although I think he kicked 1.2 and gave away 3 50m penalties
