McKay got much more involved after he was moved into the ruck and I think that's where we should play him for the rest of the year, it's not as if he'll be depriving a young developing ruckman of game time.
He's got a terrific build for football and seems to have most of the physical aspects covered, and his foot skills seem solid, if we can get him into the thick of the action and give him some responsibility it could be the making of him.
Pickett I'm far less convinced about, he's a flash in the pan player like Buckley without Buckley's touch of the devil, soft and lazy is how he appears to me.

Play McKay anywhere he can be involved. Ruck/forward, like Levi, might help him get more into the game. I saw a potential young gun in the first half of the year but a little lost when the side struggled and could barely kick any score whatsoever.

It greatly eased my mind watching him in the second half yesterday, not that he set the world on fire but he moved well and showed interest and commitment.
I think he'll be a good player in time, but maybe not the big bag of goals kicking key forward that we've been dreaming of since Fevola.
