You could have just said you didn’t watch the game

Oh please, you dont actually say anything, you just try to bully people.

Cheney played bruise-free last night. Looked ok when he was spare, panicked under pressure. Made maybe one or two spoils. Took a bunch of uncontested marks playing loose. What a hero.

Either debate with facts that arent about me personally or move on to try and bully someone else.

Had 10 intercept possessions, second only to Milera, while also managing 400 meters gained playing deep in defence. 6 rebound 50s. 78% DE

You’re posting rubbish

Why would anyone bother ?

Im sorry have you ever played? He was playing loose - what kind of player playing loose doesnt get those numbers?

I can think of multiple occasions where he either didnt contest or screwed up under pressure.

Tell me exactly why we should laud someone racking up stats playing without a man?

So you are impressed by a guy taking uncontested marks when he is playing loose? Wow, close your eyes while I make this water disappear - youll be amazed

This is simply wrong. Was a major interceptor in contests. Was a stand out.

I responded to them. My point is he panicked under pressure and at times didn't even try to contest.

He had 1 contested mark and 6 contested possessions. As a loose.

So playing loose is equivalent to playing poorly? This isn't 1970
 
Yes with 1 contested mark.

What a stand out.

He was fine when he didnt have an opponent. He had an average game and is an average footballer.

What was his role ?
Did he perform it ?
Did he **** up repeatedly , dropping marks and missing targets ?
Did he read the play well enough to rebound repeatedly ?

He did his job and he did it better than most of his team mates

Thanks for your input Mrs Hartigan

Quote me where i said that. You can't.

I didnt say he did anything wrong when he was playing loose. But he panicked under pressure and on at least 3 occasions just off fhe top of my head he was one of the crows who stood around looking at each other as a melbourne player took a mark.


He had a very average game. He got okay numbers because he was playing loose. You wouldnt expext anything less. When the going got tough he looked out of his depth and unsure.

Did he fail to go 3rd man up in several marking contests? Yes.

Did he get pressured off the ball extremely easily when it was in dispite and contested? Yes.

Here's where you dismissed someone's performance because they weren't playing on a man.

1970s thinking.

....i dont think its that special that a guy who played without an opponent got a bunch of uncontested possessions. Thats just doing the bare minimum for playing that role.

I wouldnt celebrate it. Id say you had an ok game.

Mackay has played the spare down back and not got those numbers.

Go and compare Cheney last night to Doedee vs Richmond. Doedee laid tackles, Cheney did not. Doedee was all over the contested ball and showed was outstanding intercept play was. Cheney did ok, nothing more.

Lol, Cheney was hardly a concern last night.... yet meanwhile nearly our whole leadership group were poor.

How about posters judge on actual performance, rather than preconceived ideas.
 
Cheney was okay but I think he struggles when outside his comfort zone. We are going to have to create some space on the list for some young talent. I'd offer him a rookie spot similar to what we did with Ellis-Yollman.

The people that ask if others have played have never played.
