There’ll be a good reason why we didn’t, because it was clear what his value was by then.
Curiously, he & Josh Kelly are both managed by Connors, and we are reported to be well in the race for him.
I wonder if it’s connected somehow.
Eg: If we renegotiated Andy mid year, he’s then on higher bucks next year, and takes up cap space we want to get Kelly, … and once that’s sorted and a couple more leave next year, we have enough to give McGrath more???
i love his poise and ability to have one side step and create space instantly. he will be a really good clearance player with these attributes and can rocket a handball in no time
anyone know what his clearance numbers were like in U/18’s?
They were speaking about him last night on Footy Classified, Lyons pretty much said his performance against Eddie Betts alone should guarantee him the Rising Star.
I do think know the stats. But against previously popular opinion he actually was a midfield clearance machine. Checkout highlights of the TAC grand final. There are some of just his possessions, that will give you some idea.
The dingbat can certainly make observations but given it’s complete absence of experience in relation to coaching, some fairly limited observations come through, and can be considered ridiculous. Such as the one about only a single positive can be taken out of the game.
