Debatable.

My money would be on Kelly, in fact I think "Kelly is a shit kick" is purely a Big Footy thing, kicks within his capabilities and generally finds his targets.
Whilst not definitive proof, Kelly had better disposal efficiency, more effective disposals and less clangers (with virtually identical Frees Against) than Mackay last year and in 2017.

That said, I can't recall many times Kelly has disposed of the ball at pace, normally kicking from a mark or from near stationary position.

Kelly stays within his limits and that is fine by me.

Dmac tends to have a case of the Henderson's about him imo, receive at full speed and kick long down the line.

Only time Kelly should ever be stationed on a wing imo is if he gets a run with role on a Gaff-type.

Does in defense. Had some shockers on the wing.

More decisions than just switch the play or look for Laird/Milera may have played a role.

Dmac does have good running patterns, but do believe we now have better and younger players who can do a better job.
Clearly. Had a look at our average Brownlow votes per game the other day. Throughout the history of the club Dmac is rank last on a very long list

Is Mumford in for GWS? Who else Rucks for them.

I can't recall them having that good a Ruck division. Even worse with Lobb gone.

Kelly generally has good disposal efficiency because he plays well within his limitations. He doesn't try anything fancy and generally takes the safe option. Nothing wrong with that.

No real test for Sauce.

Or a way for ROB to really push a claim.


Mind you if Sauce struggles tonight he is done.

Keath was unnoticeable. And that is exactly what I want from my Key defender...

Hartigan was very very noticeable... And not for anything good!

Their respective games were chalk and cheese. Hell, it was chalk and a grainy pixelated picture of cheese on an iphone 1
I noticed Keatb's dropped chest mark and missed tackle against a smaller body that both resulted in Port goals

Hartigan's positioning was all wrong, he was giving his direct opponent too much space while also not really doing anything in a zoned defence


This.
I'm an unashamed Harto fan, but he does frustrate me when he zones off too far.
I don't want to sound like one of those angry old blokes that always yell out 'man up' when they are clearly in a zone, but when the opposition get a fast break he seems like he's always too far away to defend. He needs to stop backing in his speed so much and play just a bit closer.

I'd say Mackay has a bigger kick, but has a tendency to get up and under the ball. Kelly tends to know his limits, but the fact that he struggles to kick 45m limits his options.
