Membrey accuracy

[tedtheodorelogan2018]

Members is back to his best this year thank god. Kicked 40.14 so far at 65%. Great turn around.

A seriously good player that sits 8th for most goals kicked. He lies between being an A and B grade footballer for sure that you can rely on most weeks to have a good game. If King gets up next year to play FF, then he will get off the leash a bit more I reckon. 50+ a year beckons.

Given the role he's been forced to play during his time with us - he's been as solid and consistent as any. He's the perfect 3rd forward yet during his time with us - he's either had an injured Paddy and/or Bruce beside him making him pretty much the de facto main forward.

It's no coincidence that when Bruce or Paddy have played well - Members' output is enhanced.

I'm salivating at the prospect of King (start deep leading jump/mark); Bruce (hard leading, pack crashing, contested clunk CHF) and Members as the 3rd tall who can hit the logos with his tank and burn the 3rd defender on the way back. Good luck defending that trio ... even if we have our usual average delivery into F50.

Him and Bruce are a very good combination.

I’m worried that we’re looking to bring someone like Goldy in to ruck in tandem with Marshall, which means you wouldn’t be able to play those 2 and King, Bruce and Membrey all in the same team. Wouldn’t work in my book, way too tall.

Marshall, Bruce, Membrey and King could work quite nicely.

[kosifantutti]

Theoretically if King, Bruce, Membrey, Marshall and Goldstein/Draper/Grundy were all playing one would be on the bench at all times.

By the way, I reckon a lot of Membrey's goals this year have been from on or near the goal square. I don't have a lot of confidence in his set shots.

Until days like yesterday. Marshall stays out from quarter time, and we lose structure pretty quick, especially until King can play ruck

Not sure that's a fair assessment. Only 20% of his shots in 2019 have been from or around the goalsquare. This also shows how dangerous he is inside 50

Membrey - apart from a period in 2018 with the yips - has for years been a very reliable set shot at goal from almost anywhere on the field.

He's kicked 10% more accurately than the average AFL player from his opportunities, while the club as a whole in 2019 has kicked 8% worse than expected.

The goals he gets from the goal square are because of how hard he works.

Pushes up onto the wing, make the contest, then gets on his bike and just out works his opponent. Go back and look at the first goal against Freo. He was the one who got it on the wing and got it moving forward, then worked harder than anyone to get back into the 50m and got the goal. If we were winning more games, he'd be getting talked up like Gunston did during the Hawthorn era.

Completely agree. His ability to push up and then power back towards goal coupled with his marking ability for a mid-sized key forward is elite. He plays taller than he actually is because of his vertical jump. Has always been a very accurate kick for goal.

You won't get very far here bringing facts and data. Don't you know it's just the vibe of the thing?

I'll stand corrected on his accuracy but I do reckon in the last few weeks he has scored quite a few from beating his opponent close to the goal square and this may be due a slightly changed forward setup where we seem much more likely to have a target inside 50.

I reckon he’s just quite a good forward.
150 odd goals in the last four years as a mid-sized forward in an ordinary team is a decent effort.

Still only 25.

Absolutely, especially considering what he cost us.

He's an amazing mark for his size. You know if he's one on one he's got a very good chance of getting the mark and his opponent usually can't work out how or why he did it.

[magnifisaint]

He's a required player. Really good player!

I should have stood my ground on this so I could come back and say Ha Ha!
I’ll just have to settle for Ha!

He has been very reliable this year, but God knows what happened with those 2 misses on Saturday. 1 early and 1 late. Especially the late one, we would have won if he kicked that, instead it was a 12 point turn around and sucked all the momentum out of us.

[WellardSaint]

he still misses the easy ones from just in front
