I watched the SANFL match again. I think McAndrew is ready for a few matches in the AFL. What I liked is how he palms the ball to our players and can mark the ball. He might be a bit slow around the ground.
Also, I hate to say it, but Murphy looked ok.

Murphy has the smarts to play midfield at SANFL level, he probably does at AFL level too..... its just the rest of his game.

McAndrew was pretty good, got outbodied a few times but thats fine.

Not getting out bodied is something to work on but time and experience will correct that. His size is massive.

Surprise surprise, ridiculous he was rushed back in when he's clearly hampered.

Idiotic coaching.

Absolutely doesn’t do anyone any good, player, team, supporters or coach.

what are they doing with Curtin?
looks lost up forward, looks better when he pushes up the ground.
Can we please see him get a game in the midfield before he gets dropped! if Crouch is out this week, play Curtin in the middle. At worse tell him to just throw his body around to free up the other 2 mids.
 
Put Cumming to the half back and watch him go BOG.

Rest Crouch, Draper in.

Fog in.

No other ins.

Please..... don't say it , we know by now what Murphy brings.
We have so many untried or barely played developing players that surely we can select one of them over recycling a player who has never cemented a spot after 116 AFL games.
Nick's is under pressure and needs to win so I'm afraid he might go for the quick fix.

I expect McAndrew will be fairly average to mediocre at AFL level. But what I like is he can execute the fundamentals of the game.

There's no stats for this, but ROB would be the slowest kicker in the game. As in from the time he decides where to kick, to the ball actually hitting his foot. That he's played more than a decade of football without anyone fixing his kicking action is shameful

He'd also be right at the top of the list for failed handballs and failed handball receives. The amount of times handballs aimed at him aren't touched by his hands at all (hitting him on the chest and bouncing off, hitting his arms, etc) is criminal. And he regularly makes poor connection with the ball when handballing.

I'm sorry but AFL level players need to be able to receive the ball and handball it on. Oppo mids are like sharks when he's about to get it.

I want McAndrew to play purely because it looks like he has the fundamentals in check.
