Marcus Windhager
I just wanted to acknowledge Marcus' goal in the last quarter.
At his age, in that position, and at that important stage of the game, I thought it was a super effort. Really knocked Essendon for six.

Re: Marcus Windhager
Was a big moment for the kid. Didn’t have a huge night for stats but I read here somewhere that he was amongst the busiest players on the night in terms of running.
Anyone able to shed some light as to who he played on? Seems to have started in the defensive mid role.

Re: Marcus Windhager
Thought Windhager was quiet
Played in that dreadful HF role which has killed many careers
High HF = about 10 possessions and a lot of chasing arse

Re: Marcus Windhager
I think he needed the run after not even having a practice match being injured in the first 5 minutes.
Maybe this week a checking role on Rowell or Miller

Re: Marcus Windhager
He gassed out early. I was watching him from level 1 and he was stuffed. Kept going though and thought he did ok since he's had a limited preparation. He'll be better for the run. Run with role this week you'd think.

Re: Marcus Windhager
He ran with Merret most of the night.
The Essendon skipper had 25 disposals at 68% efficiency, with 9 contested possessions, and 2 score involvements.
Given that he normally has at least 10 more disposals than that at a much higher effeciency, I'd say Windy did his job.

Re: Marcus Windhager
Exactly, he curbed Merret's influence , then kicked the game breaker himself. Good hit out

Re: Marcus Windhager
I’m hoping there are more strings to his bow than being predominantly a tagger. I think there are, but time will tell.

Re: Marcus Windhager
The big test for Marcus is the season before him.
The dreaded 2nd year blues looms large.
It's mainly a category attached to players who show a lot of promise in their first season and then struggle in their second year with the added attention due to opposition clubs collecting intel to curtail the emerging strengths.
It's going to be an interesting sub plot to watch and he'll know with the current injury crisis he'll potentially be getting the oppositions better players defend him until we start getting players back.
Here's hoping he can emulate the career of say Joel Selwood and just continue to improve and dominate year on year from debut...those types are rare breeds though but we can dream.
