I thought he was much better this week. Not near 2018 form, but releasing him up the ground as a mobile tall is working for him and the team.

No. With Jackson now injured, TMac becomes very important as that forward/2nd ruck player. Must play. I feel he's worked hard last two games and might not be far away from some form.Is there something deeper going on with Tom's toe injury troubles?
He seems to be running in quicksand and has the turning circle of the titanic now.
His confidence is rock bottom and he just seems out of it.
I'd be tempted to give Brown a crack instead of Tom next week.
Is it worth trying to re-train McDonald as a backman? He's only 27 surely not cooked or maybe just trade try get something.
He still kicked 18 goals in 12 games last year. This year he has 7 from 9 when we've been a better side. Bizarre.
Looked the same slow player he is this year tho. Was just clunking a few more marks.
Random thoughts and sh*t theories on the decline of TMac;
How does a guy go from world beater at the end of 2018 to falling off a cliff?
I remember the start of 2019, wouldn't jump for balls like he was the previous season, lacked mobility or explosiveness on the lead
Similarities to Trengove are 100% there. Navicular anyone?
All this happened around the same time we sent Joel Smith back onto the ground with an injury, does anybody else think it's possible Misso read something on the internets that said running helps heal navicular injuries?

Conclusion: this isn't just your out of form/getting old kind of form drop off. Wouldn't be surprised if there was some serious neglect by the club in all this. Rushing him back / out there coz we rated ourselves as a premership chance in 2019 .Don't be surprised if we trade him in the off-season only for him to fail a medical and land right back with us.
