VFL Practice Match #2 - Collingwood vs Footscray at Olympic Park Oval (Pies lost 68-110)

Good first step towards McCarthy developing into Moores partner in crime. Booted 3 goals. The football iq/awareness will get better over time. Rate him a lot

Really hope you are right about this guy Matt, as we desperately need some depth in this area. We are potentially very exposed.

Yes McCarthy is an interesting subject, rookie draft, exceptional athlete and looks to have reasonable skills. Played footy as a junior so the game is not foreign too him, it was not his priority! Really like his selection, think it was a good pick up.

Has a massive leap too, so will be that very valuable tall forward who can shoulder 20% of the ruck work per game.

Quarter Time.

Collingwood 2.1.13
Bulldogs 5.0.30

And before you get excited, Kirby's goal was a run-around snap from a deliberate out of bounds against the behind post. Good, but not Daicosian...

DAICOSIAN.......I love it when you talk dirty MagpieBat!

Well him missing few seasons and most of the Pre-Season. The IQ and Awareness I not to Concerned at as Hopefully that will come with more gametime. Though when he gets the Ball he uses it Well and Lays a Good Tackle.

Plenty to work with

Does anyone have news on Lynch? Didn't line up on the weekend and not on the injury list either. Like McCarthy, I'm excited by his potential. Obviously a completely different type of athlete to McCarthy.
