Universal Love Macaffer the best tagger in the game?

[Temploar]

Nick Dal Santo 16 touches.
Joel Selwood 20 touches.
Josh Kennedy 13 touches to 3qtr time.

Wow, did we ever expect this?
A shining light for such a dark looking season.

I agree he is playing well.......but Dal Santo got 16 disposals

Cheers buddy.

A little too much to drink tonight.

I am also trying to drink away the pain

He's not, but he's taken to it like a Selwood to water.

The thing is unlike say a Crowley or Jones type of tagger which mostly mind opponents, he has the potential to make it as a big bodied inside mid. I reckon he'll still be the go to tagger, but I hope that next year, he'll be given license to play a genuine midfielder's role and rack up ~20 possies a game as a Luke Ball type.

I loved the Caff's game tonight, to keep a Brownlow medal fancy to 18 possessions is something special, especially when your side is getting a belting.

It's his role for the rest of his career now, let him play it and perfect it, he could be great at it (Ling like) in that he can actually get possessions himself once he learns the nuances off the role.

Yes macaffer is the best tagger in the game, hell even the best tagger of the decade (after 3 games).

And didak will fix everything. Time to head to bed methinks

 

[forwardflanker]

What he has to do now is focus on getting his own ball cause that's when the good taggers become elite like Ling or Licuria

 

[Nicco_jj]

Anyone think he should have gone to McVeigh after 1/2 time?
McVeigh seemed to be everywhere.

McVeigh seemed to be everywhere.

Goodes. He had the height, fitness and arial attributes to go with him imo.

Can't fault his game tonight though though, hasn't been beaten yet in his new role.

Don't forget job he did on a red hot Mundy after 1/4 time also.

 

[Pera]

Didnt think he was up to it a few weeks ago.​

​

Happy I've been proven wrong. He is our best one on one matchup through the midfield.​

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Kennedy's 18 touches were largely ineffective too, got a few on the counter and even they were nothing special. Caff got 15 of his own. Good job.

 

[Temploar]

Adds another page to his book tonight.

 

[half_back_flank]

Adds another page to his book tonight.

Definitely.

Even though we did dominate and spend more time in our half, he found himself in some dangerous positions and pushed hard to offer targets.

 

[76woodenspooners]

I thought he had a shocker tonight

 

[Temploar]

I thought Pearce Hanley had a shocker tonight

Good work Caff!

EFA.

 

[mattys123]

18 possessions compared to 11 for his opponent Hanley, he did what he was asked to tonight and then some.

 

[half_back_flank]

Hanley had been averaging 23 and a half disposals a game this year.

To get held to 11 was a massive effort from Caff.

Agree. Smashed that Irish guy today, what his name again? Hansley??

WHAT?

 

[TradeDraft]

Doing a Good Job but Still a bit off being the best in the League.

Needs to do it for Extensive Time to even think of that

 

[tazzawazza]

I thought he had a shocker tonight

Yes he turned if over a bit, kicked horribly but his role is a tagger, and he is doing that well every single week. It will take time for him to become a Cameron Ling or Crowley like tagger, only like his 5th game in that role.

 

[forwardflanker]

The impressive thing about his game tonight is that his opponent plays a totally different game to the player types we've previously asked him to shut down. It really increases his scope as a tagger and he's getting a fair bit of it himself and his disposal is usually pretty good (few errors tonight but he was not alone and in greasy conditions)

Eh? You're trying to nominate yourself for a Winty award?

Caff was brilliant tonight. Hanley has been arguably Brisbane's best player this season and not only did he stop Hanley from having any semblance of influence on the contest, he influenced it himself with the 8 tackles around the stoppages and with his ability to find the ball out in the open. Definitely in the top 5 on the ground.
