The issues with Cmac are above the shoulders.

When he's on - my word, he's a 20+ disposals 2 goal a game player. Almost unstoppable when he's on a roll.

When he's off - the defensive side slides, he doesn't chase hard, won't body the man or ball and is perceived as soft and lazy by some.

There's a key to unlock 'on' Cmac and if we find that consistently, then there is another level for him.

The big question is why he can be so 'up and down' from one game to the next.


I love it when he's on - an absolute A grader in waiting who can smash the game wide open.

We'll need THAT Cmac next season for sure, so hopefully the club are working with him to find that consistency.

He’s also doing it from a HFF. I think some stints in the midfield to get him around the ball more will benefit him and the team. Remember back when Cyril, Breust and even Poppy would take a short turn in the middle. Reckon we could do similar with Croc Wiz Moore Weddle and hopefully Dovoston. It’d be hard to coach against.
