Full credit to Mcqualter
Delisted last year put onto the rookie list and has now earned his spot in our best 22 playing a crucial tagging role.
Really starting to turn his career around.
Well done Mini

Exactly, i love what mini has been able to achieve this year.
It just goes to show you that being in the final 22 is a lot like respect in that you just don't get it to keep forever you have to continuesly earn it.
Well done Mini.

I'll be interested to see whether he can retain his spot next year, if guys like Jack Steven, Eljay Connors and David Armitage all step up and Steven Baker returns from injury.
Also, in the event that a Ben Cousins or (dare I dream), Daniel Kerr arrive at the club, he may find it difficult to retain his spot as well.
The problem with McQualter is that he doesn't have any armory (ie, not a penetrating kick, not overly blessed for pace, relatively short and not a noted goal kicker). Will need to SIGNIFICANTLY improve if he is to hold on to his spot.

Yeah, sure. He "only" kept Dane Swan relatively quiet all day - compared to his previous efforts of destroying us over the last 2 meetings.RodKeoghsLoveChild wrote:I thought he was extremely ordinary against Collingwood.
Added to his recent scalps of Mitchell, Harvey, Stevens, Van Berlo etc..
I want to stand for something. I'm a loyal person and I think at the end of my career it will be great to look back and know that I'm a St Kilda person for life.

Sounds like Robert Harvey? Mini can run all day and is willing to do so, I think he will break the mould of a tagger in the next 12 months and become a really solid midfielder.Art Vandelay wrote:The problem with McQualter is that he doesn't have any armory (ie, not a penetrating kick, not overly blessed for pace, relatively short and not a noted goal kicker).

Harvey was never a penetrating kick, never blessed with pace and never a noted goal kicker. Probably one of the reasons why he has had longevity in the game is that he never relied on pace but instead lateral movement and strong hips to avoid the tackler. He never lost much penetration in his kicking as he always relied on doing the right thing with the ball over 40 metres and the reason he set up the first 3 goals on Saturday night was that through his whole career he has preferred to set up the leading forward.
Maybe this year?

Of course not. None whatsoever - now let me get on writing my letter to club asking that they change our name to the Gippsland StKilda F.C.Eastern wrote:There's no Gippsland bias shining through here, is there?yipper wrote:Yeah, sure.

Mini is a good honest trier, and whilst attard is injured he does his job very well.
