McKay, having seen a few seconds games, is the 'slowly, slowly' player. He desperately needs another full preseason to perform the role we require. Give him a couple of cameos in 2017, but nothing more than that. Dont do a Darcy Moore on the kid if we don't have to. Build body and confidence!!
Wouldn't give up on Armfield for 2017 yet, but the writing is on the wall longer term.
Agree about McKay, slowly slowly is my preferred option, Carlton have cooked too many talls through desperation and over-exuberance. For this reason I'd love to see Jones and Jaksch getting some last chance options, they are more than useful to bridge a gap while McKay gets his AFL body.
