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

He’s just a good solid player without too many points of difference . He will be a solid player for us but not solve our weaknesses . Still very happy to have himHately pretty underwhelming. Too many handballs to no one and no impact on the game at all.
Agree people are being way too harsh , he’ll be a solid role player in timePeople expected the world of him.
He's a 20yo kid.
Who can we put in his place, particularly with recruiting budgets taking some serious cuts across the comp ??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
Question, what did you actually expect from him ??I'm so glad we didn't trade actual picks for Hately. At the moment it's looking like we got him at the right price.
I expected him to be able to kick a footy properly for starters.Question, what did you actually expect from him ??
He'll be fine, takes time to adjust to an AFL mid after being coached as an outside runner for 2 years.I expected him to be able to kick a footy properly for starters.
He didn't get any help from the umps either.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.
Something that might be on the cards after the 2021 draft IMOWho 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's also trying to lead a defence, that's tough in a team like ours.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.
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.Who can we put in his place, particularly with recruiting budgets taking some serious cuts across the comp ??

I meant as in a replacement for Haggis.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.
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.Watching the match now.
Footskills are biggest difference between the sides. Port have guys like Houston, Hartlett, Burton, Amon, Rozee and Butters who are all exceptional users of the ball. We've got Sholl, Smith and Milera (whose career just ended yesterday).
Not good enough from a drafting point of view.
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.
Its on the clubs youtube channel.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

Try we do lack speed. Speed and class. The two rarest combined traits!Need more speed , stengle and Rowe aren’t quick I’m picturing Rowe and *Newchurch*
It's weird cos I'm his draft year he was good at this from what I watched.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.
