Which McKay are you celebrating?Didn't intend this at all to be negatively focused.
More a celebration that we now have, some genuine talent on the list that has moved past what we were relying on.
Tyson - Ziebull, Cunnington, Higgins, Anderson, Simpkin, Jacobs, LDU, Dumont, Bonar, Thomas all in front of him.
McKay - Brown, Larkey, Hosie, Durdin, Wood, Daw, Tarrant, Walker all ahead. Then Comben
Hall/JMac - LMAC, Polec, Ahern, Bonar, Pittard, Atley, Turner, EVW, Scott most if not all should be ahead.
The list has talent, why hold it back.
Celebrate it
Contract year.Kayne Turner?
Whoda thunk a thread nominating a bunch of our players up for delisting (in the forking pre-season) would have become negatively focused?Didn't intend this at all to be negatively focused.

Murphy , McKay , BJ are all under the pump.
Murphy last year of contract and hasn’t shown much
McKay is tracking pretty slowing but big men take time - hopefully he lifts he urgency.
BJ obviously needs to play or it’s curtains
Wherever we need himZiebell? Where does he fit into this year's team. He's not a fwd and with the wealth of young mid talent he could struggle.
I'm expecting LDU to have a breakout year to be a top 50 player in the league by the end of the year.
The only weak parts of the side is another key back and quality defensive pressure fwd.
Harsh on Macmillan. I don't think he's in our best 22 anymore, but of the other 4 listed, only Wood could ever claim he was. JMac has played 150+ games and is heading into his 11th season with the club. Tyson, McKay and Hall have played 13 games between them in 5 seasons between them. If JMac is done, then I think he's carved out a decent career with the skills he was born with.Been a long time but I'm back.
Let's start some fun debate and disagreement.
At the end of 2020 who is done and why?
For me:
Dom Tyson
Was never what we needed, was never at the standard, too far back in line to see much best 22 time. Just doesn't stand out in any way, in every aspect we have better options. Should be a solid VFL contributor.
Ben McKay
BUST. Was never a 1st round pick and we over reached. Doesn't have the drive, doesn't have the desire, doesn't have the footy smarts, doesn't have the mongrel. Sorry all i see is a big ball of dopey fluff.
Jamie McMillan
Look he tries, you have to respect that, but in the end just doesn't have the skill level to be anything more than he has ever been, close but not quite. So many better options right now and in development, it's time JMac accepted he's better letting go and moving into coaching and development. Does have a good football mind.
Aaron Hall
We missed him at his prime and outside influences haven't helped since then. Even as depth material there are still so many ifs buts and maybes. "IF" he plays in honesty it's just stifling what could be the development of younger future. Get around the kids, share some knowledge then say thank you and goodnight.
Mason Wood
Could be, Would be, Should be. BUT HASN'T. I love Mason but reality has to hit somewhere. For some reason it just hasn't worked out. It's 2020 or bust. Of all players mentioned I do hope Mason is the one to prove me wrong. Sadly I think the odds are against it.
Bring it on!
I think Ziebell can play forward, he played a lot more up forward in 2018, he kicked 35.29 and had 13 goal assists. I think he has the potential to be a 40-45 goal scorer and that is without him being a major target. Brown kicked 60+ goals the last few years but the vast majority of I50s are directed at Brown. Ziebell is a bit like Martyn in that he can be difficult to match up against if the ball is coming inside the forward 50 pretty quickly.Ziebell? Where does he fit into this year's team. He's not a fwd and with the wealth of young mid talent he could struggle.

Probably says more about the personnel we had playing in the 2010’s than the opinions of some around here. I’m not in the MacMillan, Atley and Wright are spuds crew but I also don’t think they are team of a decade quality.
Welp, this would give some people the shits...
The team of the decade should have been the 2015 team.Probably says more about the personnel we had playing in the 2010’s than the opinions of some around here. I’m not in the MacMillan, Atley and Wright are spuds crew but I also don’t think they are team of a decade quality.
No,, do not! At least each and every year during trade aeon he's mentioned in a ridiculous deal/trade/swap.I think it's time I give up on a Liam Anthony comeback.
would be easier listing who didn't and i'd be one of the very few that stayed the journeyWho was it here about five years ago that called for the fork for Tarrant?
What might have been.The team of the decade should have been the 2015 team.
The non-free to Jacobs for having his legs sliced in half and subsequent free against him for HTB still makes me want to break things.What might have been.
Yeh I used to call him concrete hands and feet because he couldn’t take a mark or jump over a jam jar as a forward.Who was it here about five years ago that called for the fork for Tarrant?
I suspect the silent majority stuck with him throughout but cbf’d having to repeatedly negate the “concrete hands” crew.would be easier listing who didn't and i'd be one of the very few that stayed the journey
And you don’t make it to the top of the food chain by eating TOFU.Good at pies, salad rolls less so. Also proves the point .... you don't win friends with salad![]()
