McEvoy now looking like a future gun
Thought McEvoy backed up his career best performance last week with an even better game this week.
Ran hard all night, found the footy, took some strong contested grabs, crashed packs up forward, won clearances in the ruck and used it well.
He's really developing as a footballer, and IMO in 2-3 years time will be fairly close to Kreuzer as the best ruckmen from that draft.
Might never be the dominant hitout player, but he's fantastic around the ground.

i liked the way he crashed the packsdegruch wrote:In front, yes I agree...very frustrating as he seem to have good hands around the ground.

Agree too! I guess the point is I missed is that it's hard to make 'em stick when you're slamming into a pack at full speed. Good presence up forward.goods wrote:i liked the way he crashed the packsdegruch wrote:In front, yes I agree...very frustrating as he seem to have good hands around the ground.

i think kingy might have played his last game for us. he's ruck coach now isn't he?plugger66 wrote:Does anyone think they will rest MG in the next few weeks when King is ready to go as it looks like Ben will play for a while yet?
If MG needs a rest, Kosi might take his spot once he regains a bit of form.

p66, i'd rather we play gardi ruck then rotate through FF than rest him at this stage.
His form is solid and we are going to need him against Freo and Geelong after next week.
That being said we could rest him next week but going into Freo and Geelong we need to smash the Tigers to start to hit better form.

6 hitouts for a ruckman is clearly only a water pistol.
He needs to average at least 20 hitouts a match to become a hand gun in a ladies handbag.
