Hately pretty underwhelming. Too many handballs to no one and no impact on the game at all.

The good news is we nailed the 2020 draft but the bad news is that will take a while to flow through to results ( certainly not this year )
Ogilvie has made some great calls in his time but he’s also responsible for our 1 dimensional midfield , he really has struggled in that department
wouldn’t surprise me with what is going on with John Olsen on the front foot if they look to make a change, unless you’re Stephen Wells it’s prob good to refresh at times
I’m not saying this lightly and it’s really the first time I’ve thought a change is necessary

Who can we put in his place, particularly with recruiting budgets taking some serious cuts across the comp ??
Port have done relatively well in the last few years, but there's no way they'll allow us to poach any of their bunch

He'll be fine, takes time to adjust to an AFL mid after being coached as an outside runner for 2 years.
Against a pretty good midfield no less.

McAsey wasn't anywhere near as bad as some people have been saying. Some good going back with the flight efforts from him. Looks like he hasn't stepped foot in the gym since we've drafted him though.

He's also trying to lead a defence, that's tough in a team like ours.

Don't reckon it would have been too hard to shake Boyd Woodcock loose from the Powa and IMO he's superior at this point in time to most of our small forwards given Lachie Murphy is essentially a small defender forced to play the small pressure forward role for us.
Still reckon Woodcock would be an easy get given he was delisted and then re-rookied. I was surprised he didn't go in the National Draft in his draft year after a stellar U18 year for the Roosters and SA. Bloody good on the weekend against us too.

I know it was only a trial game but Lynch was putrid. Really soft for a senior player.

Just keep digging deeper mate.Don't criticise any of the players or anyone to do with the club mate, or else you'll get called a Port troll.Just accept mediocrity.
Sorry if this has been asked but is there a way to view the reserve game vs port from Saturday? I’ve looked with no success and the AFC website is no use with this I believe

McAsey's biggest problem is that he seems unable to read the ball in the air. He constantly gets himself out of position. I'm actually not sure this is coachable- i think he just has poor instincts.
And he wasnt exactly being beaten up by veterans. He got comprehensively out contested by a guy who was drafted after him.

Try we do lack speed. Speed and class. The two rarest combined traits!
It's weird cos I'm his draft year he was good at this from what I watched.
He literally looks like a 13 year old out there. He's outplayed in almost every contest. Struggles to keep his feet. He looks like he just wants the siren to go.
Just on fog.
I think he's going to have a hard time playing in this position over the next couple of years. As a forward he's a lead up player. He's not a focal point with a bomb and hope forward entry. Our next best forward entry at the moment is what you would describe as 'pure chance' as to where it ends up (unless it's coming from himself or Sholl).
When he gets it he's all class. I just don't know how we're going to get it to him. In a good team he'd be a gun.
