The sad thing was that SoJ was also down, I reckon he could easily have a good game though because his work rate was quite high compared to McKay.

Weitering was probably one of the best in JLT2, McKay's hardly had a touch in two outings.

But the AFL JLT Supercoach ratings say it all, below McKay are only other players who played part games. Maybe McKay was being managed, but it was JLT and the intensity was well down, and he's a 200cm KPP who would normally have a high percentage of game time.

Look, i'm far from convinced Harry is the long term answer. I've been banging on about the need to get in more key forwards for years.

However, we need to play him. We are not trying to win the flag this year.....well....i'm sure we are trying, but development is #1 priority.

We need to work out if McKay is worth persisting with long term and if we need to draft/trade in a replacement. The only way we know that is if we play him. The best opposition to play him against would be the reigning premiers, on the all australian captain, on opening night at the mcg in front of 90,000 people.

If he can perform on that stage, he can perform on any stage.

Alternatively, you play him in the VFL, in front of 900 people, on a guy who watched the all-australian on tv and was once captain of U9's.
Whats that going to tell you?

If Harry plays, there's no spot for Jack imo....

Nah, haven't heard a thing!

But given this bloke was able to hold down the 2017 VFL 1st Ruck duties while carrying a hip injury I reckon he'll eventually go OK. Red heads, hard as nails! Wink

I’m sorry my life got in the way of reading and dissecting every dynamic newsworthy morsel from the northernblues mate... ????
Let’s go BIG !
