Mcveigh's game

[The King!]

Captains quarter deserves a thread 20 possessions in a quarter of a final when the teams hobbling and not cheapies tonight, he is everywhere

In the face or injuries, pressure, a poor surface and the worst lopsided umpiring of the year

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Making a statement tonight

 

[GotTheGoodes]

It was that good they're having fire works over here (Adelaide) for it... Some will say it's for the Royal Adelaide Show but we all know it's for our big Mc.

Best performance by anyone in the league this year IMO

 

[grimlock]

Amazing. Has earnt the right to throw as many tantrums for the rest of his life

 

[Superstar swan]

Amazing quarter, when he's on , we generally play well. Great captain and leads by example

 

[JBSwan]

Superb. You could tell he was Pumped up for a big one when he was Firing up the lads in the pre-game huddle.
Hoping he continues that freaky form for 8 more quarters this year..

yep

The game would be better for the thread title.

One of the most complete games I can recall from a player.

Was a special performance.

Class act. Was a pleasure to watch such dominance. Really stood up.

Now I know he must read BF.

 

[Sanecow]

Great game, led by example, didn't see him giving anyone a spray.

 

[invinciBlues]

Reckon he'll be down by the harbour today. Probably walking on water...

Just absolute disbelief, he seemed to be everywhere. Great game from him. Stood up early on when he saw the injuries mounting and pretty much said "rally around me boys".

Just wish it hadn't of been against my club so I couldve enjoyed his performance instead of damn near throwing my stubbie through my TV

 

[Strawbs]

Was there any danger Carlton could have, oh, I dunno, suggested to one of their players to, say, man up McVeigh? Great game. Hope he has two more in him.

He was really only free in the last quarter when he went back as the loose man in defence and even then Yarran was trying to get to him with Rampe trailing him. Before that he was head to head in the midfield. They tried using Duigan to tag him at the start of the third quarter

I've no issues with the sprays. Macca takes his football very seriously. He's completely one-eyed and devoted to the cause. You can bet he pays out on himself more than anyone.

Still 42 possies, 14 contested at 88% efficiency in a final is stunning. Great move to let him into the midfield and biggs did well enough to hold the fort at half-back.

Easy to forget what a great midfielder Macca is when he's been forced to fill a hole down back all year while some BF posters have taken to making snide remarks about floating down back picking up cheap possessions.

 

[MF]

Yeah, I don't understand the criticism directed at McVeigh for spraying team mates. He's the captain ffs. It's his job.

Exactly. Look at the sprays Mick Malthouse gives his players. Blistering barnacles ! Besides, a bit of a sting can get the best out of people. Better than pussy footing around.

 

[Sanecow]

I have a problem with the spray when a teammate doesn't hit you with a pass, because it doesn't help. He didn't deliberately miss, you. Suck it up and get on with it.

I am one of those posters but my comments were more aimed at the decision to playing him like that all the time when he can be a very damaging mid as seen on the w'end and I stand by them he does hover at times to receive when he should go.
Saying that, he was hitting contests against Carlton harder than he usually does regardless of where he was playing it was a different Macca. Great game.
