Looking like it's time to go down the 'Jack Darling' path

Yep, time for someone to take him camping with some co-eds.

    I heard Mac Andrew has discipline issues.  I heard he has anger issues. I heard he has a drinking problem.  Is that enough to create the “don’t draft him Jack darling” stigma !!

    He definitely has concussion issues -

    As a footballer, Melbourne NGA prospect Mac Andrew is an absolute genius. He has not had a kick or a handball in the past month but has risen six places in the Draft Central Power Rankings: July 2021.

    The NAB Boys League went into recess for a couple of weeks at the beginning of June for the city clubs including the Stingrays during the lockdown. Andrew played his only game for the month of June for the Stingrays against the Pioneers on 20 June and was concussed in the opening moments (stats - 2 tackles, 2 hit outs). 

    This is how the AFL Draft Central power ranking guru sums him up:-

    “#15 Mac Andrew (MEL NGA)
    Dandenong Stingrays/Vic Country | Ruck/Tall Utility
    12/04/2003 | 200cm | 70kg

    June Ranking: #21

    Snapshot: A raw tall prospect who has proven his worth in each post, Andrew’s vertical leap and fast-developing craft really catch the eye.

    Another key position type who rocketed up draft boards with a promising start to the year, Andrew will have Melbourne recruiters a little nervous with his performances to date. He now sits inside our current top 20, boasting raw athleticism and bucketloads of upside given his ever-improving ability to be utilised at either end of the ground, or in the ruck. While he has proven his versatility, the Demons Next Generation Academy (NGA) talent looks most comfortable in the ruck, where his leap and clean follow-up work stands out.

    Last month:

    Andrew was set to add to his exciting opening rounds with a return to NAB League action, but unfortunately fell to injury early in his outing against Bendigo. Having gone down in a heavy contest, Andrew hasn’t been sighted on-field since and also missed the Under 19 trials.”

    On that basis, but for the injury, Mac probably would be sitting at #1 right now and we wish him good luck at either North Melbourne or Hawthorn in 2022.

    Perhaps you could just say we should take him as a 1st round pick candidate and that will be enough to see him slide, a la Winder, Ford and Maher!

    Looking forward to seeing Mac Andrew play.

    I will know, didn't even realise it was on. 

    Pumped to watch Andrew but I'll be holding back until he's officially on our list. Not that hopeful TBH.

    Thought I might post ESPN's Draft Power Rankings link here -

    AFL Draft - July's Power Rankings: Daicos, Horne and Darcy duke it out for top billing

    That would be just our luck Andrew going at 20 just before we can bid.

    I find it hard to believe he's top 20 when he's not even the number 1 ruck for vic country.

  • Quote

    Andrew has played ok taken some nice marks but I still don't think he's top 20 maybe I'm just hoping but he's not even the second ruckman. He's playing CHF. Can see why Daicos is number 1 just a ball magnet.

  • Quote

    Well they finally played Andrew in the ruck in the last quarter. Shows promise but hopefully not a top 20 pick. Is George injured or is he just not good enough to make the country squad?

    The highly rated Joshua Brown already up to 30 disposals early in the 4th quarter for East Freo colts, Taj Woewodin not far behind 26 disposals, 3 tackles, 8 marks and 1 goal

    what'd he finish with, @Pennant St Dee?

    it'll be interesting to see if we do bring him across

    Also, the draft pundits are saying that Woey Junior is a little bit “vanilla” and there’s little to excite about in his play. Your view?

    I think they must’ve given him decent bench time in the 4th, only 1 more possession added to his tally

    gotta protect him from higher bids :P

    still, 27 disposals, 3 tackles, 8 marks, and a goal is a fine outing

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
