McEvoy's Hitouts

[axcellence]

We know going into the game and from watching the casey games that he would struggle in actual ruck contests, but I was interested to see how he did around the ground, and with only 50% game time had alot to hold his head up for. How many other 18 year old Ruckman are running around at the moment?? Look at -Hawthorns combo, taken 6 years of development to come good. The kid has a bright future and handles himself very well. (anyone hear post game intervies??) his leadership attributes are going to be a major feature in the furure.

Well done Ben!

Without trying to sound negative or positive.... to answer your point... Kreuzer turned 19 in May (ben turns 19 in July)... and he's been averaging 8.5 hitouts per game.

Worst thread I've seen here in a long time.

Hope you're proud of yourself 'ace', you pathetic flog.


Suggestion for you - f*** off and support Carlton.

Put yourself on the bottom of the deck ace you are are an absolute joke(r) - give the kid a break I thought he showed a lot of good signs and competed hard against a couple of trees. Despite your negativity he will get better and be a future star.

And Kreuzer dominated the Freo rucks with a total of 6 hitouts.

Spider averaged 6 hit-outs per game over his first 60 games (4 years) and he is supposed to be one of the elite tap ruck men of our times

McIntosh didn't get a game for North until his third year and got 2 hit-outs in his one and only game. He averaged 7 in his fourth year.

Stupid to judge ruck men before they are physically mature adults.

Remember all you argue with fools sometimes people cant remember who the fool is. Anyone who cares to critisise McEvoys ruckwork against Sandilands in his first game clearly has no idea and has never stepped foot on a football field.

Good point.


My intent however was not to argue. Simply to abuse.

[The_Dud]

well anyway, we won't be able to keep him as our number 2 ruckman for the rest of the year, becasue as has previously been said, he's no good at the moment

play him in the forward line, see how he goes there, and maybe give him the occasional run in the ruck
