I also recall him saying very matter of factly that his aim was to become an All Australian defender within the next few years. Low and behold, he'd legitimately be the first KPD picked in the side right now. He's pretty much willed himself to get to this level. Long may it continue.

Our most important player, imo as important as hogan and jones

Has now added Franklin to his evergrowing list of victims.

At only 22 he is of great importance to the side but next year (if not by seasons end) Hogan will be our most important player.

Easily our best player this season and will be AA if he continues.

Lets hope his brother can come on as much as he has!

I was reading an article on the MFC website about the meditation the players do before each game with T Mac saying how much it has helped him.You can tell by watching him this year he is in the zone,even during the bad games he keeps performing,something for all us supporters to be positive about.

Future captain

So disinterested in the posts that call for a young player to be captain after showing some ability both on and off the field. Just let the kid play, grow up, and be a dominant key defender. When we are challenging for a flag, I just want him concentrating on the job at hand, which is as important as any role on the ground.

At only 22 he is of great importance to the side but next year (if not by seasons end) Hogan will be our most important player.

I heard Leigh Mathews talk about the Dees yesterday, and he said he really liked the way things were building, said if you have a bookend at either end of the ground who is capable of playing at AA level ( Hogan and Mcdonald ) and then build around that with guys like Brayshaw, Petracca, Salem, Toumpas, Trengove all high picks and very talented than you'll generally be okay in the long run

We haven't got a great track record with AAs I would get my hopes up....

KB will vote for Rance regardless, but hopefully the rest of the panel are sensible. Right now TMac is first picked.

But there's a long way to go, and they tend to care about those who finish well moreso than those who start well.

Another 6 votes from the coaches and T Mac is now outright 6th in the Player of the year award

Looks like we may have another star player besides Jones, finally.
