Player Watch Mid-Season Pick #11 (2023) - Quinton Narkle

[Ateen7tee]

Another game in the 2's and then unleash against the old team that cast him aside...

 

[davesnothere]

Was thinking another game in the 2s but have come around.

Can sub just needs to remember we’re the ones in black and handball it to Butters.

 

[theouthouse]

Whenever he gets his time, he will go well. Something just feels right about this.

 

[Lefti93]

Sub is probably the right call.

 

[davo999]

Wouldn’t bother me if he gets a game this week , I reckon he’s an upgrade on Mead , Evans and McEntee

 

[Poo Eckert]

2 of those aren’t currently in the side and the third is almost undropable

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

McEntee isn’t getting dropped.
He’s a teachers pet, and is legitimately contributing.

 

[240volt]

Can’t drop the cult hero Mac@cheese.
Would give Narkle a go as Sub this week as he could come in handy against a strong midfield like the Dogs.

The * you watching? The Cheese has been great. Open your eyes.

And future captain.

 

[raptalia]

I am not sure why so many of us want to play Narkle as a sub. From what I saw against the Eagles he is an upgrade on a couple of the players who are getting a start in our 22. Narkle can find the ball, has a bit of pace and isn't a bad kick. Sitting on the pine for three quarters isn't going to help him fit into the side. At this stage it is probably better to give him another run in the SANFL than use him as an AFL sub.

is probably back this week so Quinton might spend another week in the SANFL.

The * you watching? The Cheese has been great. Open your eyes.

If you think he's been 'great' it's only because his form last year lowered your standards. He's been fine. He certainly hasn't been so good that he couldn't possibly be improved upon.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

Yeah, it is almost like McEntee has gone from never rated to overrated.

He's fulfilling a role and doing it well enough but could be upgraded easily with a quick, goal kicking small forward.

I’ve loved what he’s done so far this year, but if Fantasia can stay fit and can start kicking goals in the SANFL I would definitely be picking him over Jed.

I think there is a fundamental flaw in that statement - just not sure if I know what it is?

 

[davo999]

No but those two have been first ones in , I reckon Narkle is ahead of them , then there’s Bonner .

 

[davesnothere]

It's the argument about the guy who jumps out of a plane without a parachute and is thinking "so far so good" on the way down

 

[Poo Eckert]

Mcentee provides a lot of effort and defensive pressure. I doubt Fantasia would do that

 

[chiwigi]

The question should never be, is McEntee (or any player) contributing.


It should be, will the new player contribute more?

I don’t know enough of Narkle to comment. What I do know is the team
Needs some Mcentee’s the battler who tries exceptionally hard to keep his spot and will do anything to keep it.

He gets a goal and some assists, uses the ball well and chases with crazy intent. It creates enthusiasm, like SPP

You all loved the sky diving 2/3 of the way down (11 and 4).

Eww do not want Narkle playing Mac and Cheeses bleak half-forward pressure role. Let the cobblers cobble. Narkle needs to play midfield.

Which of Rozee, Butters, JHF, Wines or Drew are you removing from the midfield for him?

Narkle's best position is midfield, which is true for a lot of players, but there are only so many midfield spots in an AFL team. If somebody had said two years ago that SPP 'needs to play midfield' he'd probably be traded or delisted by now.

None of them. I don't think he plays unless one or more of them are injured. And I have Sinn and Jackson ahead.

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

In the near term he is a good sub option. Maybe longer term he finds a role. But outside of that, the only way he is breaking into the 22 is through injury.
