Quiet first half, stepped up in the second.
Love that he doesnāt go back into his shell after a mistake or twoā¦GUN
How good is he 1 on 1?!
Held his ground in so many 1 on 1ās tonight - canāt wait till he is unleashed into the midfield

Saw a tweet today from SEN about Terry Wallace crapping on about how Ryan Burton should be favourite for the Rising Star award.
So Andy comes out and puts in that performance to show the flog why he Burton isnāt.

What an absolute jet this kid is. The gift that keeps on giving
Terry Wallace comments should be taken with a grain of salt, this is the man who took Tambling, Oakleigh-Nicholls and Fiora

i donāt know how a guy can build his media persona over being a draft expert when he ā ā ā ā ā ā up a draft where they couldāve taken buddy. or set a club back further than itād ever been in his 40 year drought.

This. He was one of the very few runners in the last quarter.
This guy is a gun and will win the rising star by a mile.

Itās ridiculous how comfortable this guy looks at the level already. He looked a little overawed at the start of the season on occasion but he just oozes class & composure. Donāt give a fk whether he wins rising star award or not but this guy is a gun, weāre going to have some midfield in a couple years with he, Parish, Z Merrett, Langford, Fantasia etc running through there.
Iāll admit to thinking McCluggage was best fit for us through last season, but having seen McGrath in the TAC GF, I didnāt think we could lose. We won the lottery big time with this kid.

He is a beauty
I was wrrā¦ wwrrrrā¦
The top 5 or so seemed so hard to split, it came down to fit for me. I always felt we had enough small mids - and I still do.
Having said that, he couldnāt have had a much better start to his career. Heās such a competitor.
A bigger bodied mid this year thanks.

Played well last night, tried really hard to drag his older team mates over the line
Reckon right now he would beat Burton by a nose. Going to be tight
Burtonās been very good. I agree that thereās very little in it.
Mcgrath right now but only just.
tough as nails
half a season to go, and pushed into the midfield who knows
watching the replay seemed to be our only player capable of sticking a strong tackle, him and Zerrett in the mid could be a real delight.
Ooh ahh midfield star.
Its time
