picket fence 18,190 Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) Interested in other's thoughts, I wanted him in the side a lot over the season but for reasons best known to the match committee was overlooked time and again. He is a very smart footballer, knows where to run, can take a contested mark, disposes well and is not afraid to put his body in. He ticks a lot of boxes! Could have kicked a couple more goals, but I thought his last 2 games were Excellent! One the basis that we lack players with "Smarts" I reckon he deserves at least a one year deal with triggers for beyond. I would be disappointed but not surprised given its the MFC and some decision making re Contracts have been in the past, "Lacking" that he may not be offered but,,, I hope he gets another gig at MFC Edited September 21, 2020 by picket fence 10 Quote
Bitter but optimistic 22,289 Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 Agree picket worth another year ! 3 Quote
Salems Lot 2,692 Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 I thought he was good on Saturday but seemed to be playing further up the ground Quote
Diamond_Jim 12,778 Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 A medium level journeyman. It's a pity we need him but without TMac in form I see little alternative. My bigger worry is Melksham and Hannan Also need to get LJ and Rivers under 3 year contracts asap Quote
roy11 4,076 Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 Saw someone liken him to Pedo, think a player like him is needed given question marks over Smith, Tmac, Petty etc 1 Quote
dazzledavey36 56,350 Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 I'd happily keep. Played a much better role then McDonald has dished put the past 6 months. 1 Quote
3183 Dee 2,917 Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 Keep! Good, honest footballer, who works bloody hard. 4 1 Quote
spirit of norm smith 16,680 Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 Agree. Sign up for 2021. He’s a good honest natural footballer. Showed enough to get another year. His hunger and smart footy was very much needed in our forward line. A true Pedersen type. 2 Quote
nosoupforme 3,085 Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 I have noticed that the last 2 games he has been chasing kicks and taking marks and linking up the ground. also found in the back half to help out against GWS where he helped win the game in the last quarter. Put in a good one against his old club and is a shue in for a 1 year contract at the least IMO. He reminds me a lot of Cam Pederson that was a real honest goer and did well for us. 4 Quote
Billy 2,576 Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 I hope he gets a 1 year contract but don’t think he will Quote
Clayton van Oliver 1,829 Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 Yep. I really like him. Has a bit of that Cam Pedersenesque spirit to him, will play beyond the expectations of his talent. Also seems to know that a footy bounces in an odd fashion, and gets himself to the right spots. 1 Quote
Pates 9,697 Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 Whether or not he’s around next year may depend on how we go at the trade period. If we manage to land a second key forward then that shoves him down the pecking order pretty quickly. I’d be giving him another year though, handy depth. Quote
Bobby McKenzie 2,408 Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 Definitely another year. Should have played many more games in the place of Tom McD. I like a player with courage and smarts. Keep. 3 Quote
WERRIDEE 5,638 Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 Extend his second year as a rookie. 1 Quote
kallangurdemon 551 Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 He was terrible in the first game of the year but his last 2 games were ok .plays with enthusiasm and has a bit of zip .But if we are to become successful we need replace 30 yr old journeyman like Mitch with a bit of quality .We dont bat low enough at the moment so we should be concentrating on players who might not be A graders but are clearly of AFL standard and Mitch doesnt fit this profile .. 1 Quote
Queanbeyan Demon 7,031 Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 Four more years, four more years, four more . . . . Quote
The Red Fox 216 Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 Put him up back and he’d be every bit as good as Lever. Quote
