Player Review 2017

Struggling to understand why McLarty's pace would be an issue. From what I've seen he's above average for his size. Certainly doesn't seem to get burned by his opponent as a general rule.

I agree, can certainly hussle when he has to. If anything, I'd look at his fitness (or lack thereof) this year as perhaps a reason why he wasn't as consistent with his pace across quarters or full games. Think that'll improve dramatically with a full preseason under his belt.

Couple of points. Not sure he was ever VFL listed. Played as a 23rd player in 2015 while still listed with the Murray Bushrangers hence the reduced number of appearances, not injury. Played all bar 3 games (calf injury) in 2016 so "decimated" might be a tad strong.

I stand corrected regarding 2016, however Wills was on our VFL list proper in 2015. There was some suggestion we hid him in 2015 and that his injury dragged out as an excuse, but that's a whole other debate.

Well there you go. Can remember watching him as a skinny kid playing HB in 2015 and always thought he was playing as the 23rd.

Surely you jest ?

No according to TG at the start of the year Schade was of similar size as Patton. No jest.

Well it's a hell of a diet he's been on then...
