picket fence

I would play T Mac at CHF as I suggested a few days ago! I would like to see if he can cut it as a key Forward! Try him at CHF, God knows he is not a KPB s toenail!!

A better, self effacing young man, you will not find!!

Yeah might RISE! ready for a Monday game..... Hang on a minute!!? There aint no Monday game!

Well, he would be an improvement, Huge in fact of one, Oscar Mc Donald!!

Not only is he a very good and skilled silky smoooth left footer he is also a sensational fellow! Well done young man the PF wishes you well!!

Thinking about this further, Why not play him as a wild card free wheeling forward?? Thoughts This asuming we can get some replacements Brown ( Coll) Hurley, Hibberd et al. Would like to see what an experiment like this might bring to the table. Happy to eat humble pie if this was proven in some ways an option for his football future at MFC!?

Yep Go for him AND TY VICKERY ....... There,, have I put a few cats amongst the pigeons!??

Laurie Fowler used to get the ball a lot.. Boot it .. turn it over and watch as goals were kicked as result of this! Before the fashionable word called "Turnovers" Existed! He also won a dees B&F or Two!! Point is you just cannot afford to have turnover merchants in succesful Premiership sides as KEY DEFENSIVE DEFENDER! ! PERIOD! TMac still makes th same elementary mistakes he did when he fisrt started! He hasn't improved on this one Iota! I'm calling it , We will not be a premiership side with T Mac in Key Defensive post! Put him at CHF however annnnd But waaaiiiiitt surely not!???

To borrow from my peer ologist , Did you note these FACTS down Wayne?? The problem is that his skill errors kill us. I watched him carefully yesterday and tonight on the replay. He'll do some good stuff and then completely stuff it up. Q1 Dawes does a great tackle , kicks back to TMac and he fumbles the ball. T/over to Crows TMac takes great mark from a kick in and then kicks into man on the mark Q2 TMac does a blatant throw on members wing when we are running fwd T/over TMac gets the ball with an open fwd line and kicks into man in the mark Q3 When we lost the game, TMac takes a great intercept mark , turns the ball over goal results I have stopped watching and will resume but this game was not isolated. As I said, He has some great attributes but he has to clean up his brain farts and turnovers. Turnovers and poor composure cost us the game yesterday. We can't go anywhere with payers that continually do that. Not only did Walker beat him , but he also cost 3 or so goals with his turnovers! Do the Math 3 direct goals + His turnovers resulting in goals that's about 5 Goals but yeah he was very good! Yeah Right!

Yep definately more upside!!

Ah... depending on who's in power after about a month or two!! I'll let u know about that!!

Agree and with Heritier I think the club and him should seriously look at his long term health. Player welfare is of primary concern and He needs to probably retire to ensure no lasting effects! Pity!!

Sheeit so he would still be an upgrade on Dawes!! He might just win a game of his own boot!! When has Dawsy ever done that??

Agree I thought him serviceable to good yesterday!!

Love it As a Torp specialist myself when I played I used to love barrelling 60-70 + M goals!! Lurved it!

LOL!

What does it tell me??That current top 8 teams will utilize him as a running Half Back Flanker rather than Free flowing and lose KPB. Also that your attack should begin in the pivot and wings.! Too get polished first possesions you need polished inside mids! Eg Danger,Ablett etc It also tells me our wingers also are not creative nor defensive enough! Melksham may be part of this solution!! A key position CHB motto should still be Limit my man to a few possesions and keep him goal less and we win the game! 1967 ?? Well man on man still has a place if you want to win games IMO Your move!!

Inns Grimes, Either Hullett Or Weeds , Clarry Choo Choo Outs Dawes, O Mac, Vanderberg or Kennedy Also I thought Matt Jones was good early!!

Not Hatred at all just pure logic based on Facts Fact Taylor Walker towelled him up yesterday , If you are one that thinks he broke even then this is part of the problem which exists at our club. If you aren't winning and beating your direct opponent you are losing! T Mac does have a lot of attributes, but manning up and being accountable for a man isn't his strong suite! Ok If the coaches are giving him specific instruction to play zone and not be accountable, well then you would have to question such tactics playing against one of the premier forwards in the competition would you?? Is that your assertion??

Inns Grimes, Either Hullett Or Weeds , Clarry Choo Choo Outs Dawes, O Mac, Vanderberg or Kennedy

What is this Break even rubbish?? Read Taylor Walkers stats 18 Quality possesions, ( 83%) disposal efficiency, 7 contested 12 UNCONTESTED ( which bears out the fact that Mc Donald didn't man him up as I have said) 3 Goals ! Now add to the Mc Donald game a 65% disposal efficiency , the same dubiuos decison making plus clangers of which cost 3 Goals and you will see that my assertions stack up.Yes accept T Mac took 11 marks but the fact remains that Taylor Walker had and excellent match and was instrumental in the crows victory. Rewatch the game with blinkers off and see that what I am suggesting is strong analysis! And as always This is my opinion. Happy for anyone to piont out innacuracies in my appriasal!

Im sticking to my comments, re watch the game and tell me that any aspect that I have described above is incorrect!

I agree He made 1 Clanger which cost a goal but I thought he was pretty good today!!

Ok I was at the game and counted 6 Turnovers at least of which 3 cost us goals . Add to the fact that Walker was his direct opponent and contributed another 3 Means he effectively cost us 6 goals! 1 He still STILL refuses to man up 2 He still STILL refuses to acknowledge much less do anything about his prime directive! To stop goals 3 He will take some contested marks but he still hasn't worked out that he needs to take some acountability for when to punch and when to mark. One such example was in the first q when he could have taken an easy Mark but elected to Punch instead! Result Crows Goal 4 Loves to be unacountable and opportunistic across Half Back , poblem is when he gets it tries to be cute and be becomes Laksadaisical ( have In spelt that right)? and more often than not thinks he has more time than he actually has and then ....... Duds a handball or Kick which puts the reciever under pressure! AND he's been doing it for years! His 10 Marks today are a facade to the impact he has when he gifts goals!! Let him go ,trade for a better option! And Oh, take ur brother with you, dropping chest marks in front of goal and wandering around like a new born giraffe is no longer tolerable at the MFC!
