Its very difficult to as there was no coverage of it and played behind closed doors for the majority of the match
On form Sheil and McGrath are both ahead of Roberts. You have had a hard on about Sheil for quite a while, but his performance against the Cats was very good.

PTSD.
Just sat through the Term 1 assembly.
The stomping at “purple, green and blue” always scares the bejeezus out of new staff and year 7s. Always good for a laugh.

Is that from the War Cry ?
Starts off with what sounds like Aboriginal words.
My memory is a little hazy given I’m VCE Class of 1987.
In the college song, after the line “we’ll defend the…” the kids stomp to “purple, green and blue” as hard as they can, the whole place shakes.
Now the War Cry, that’s something that hasn’t been sung in a long time…

Mistakes happen that result in goals copped an unlucky bounce other wise he would have been away.
Agree McGrath does more good things then bad

It’s the inverse of how forwards are judged.
Every goal matters up forward.
Every error matters down back.

Yeah he misjudged it and copped a flat bounce but I actually liked the dare to make it a foot race and back himself in.
So long they compete hard and do the defensive stuff, I’m all for players like McGrath taking the game on more often & can wear a couple of blunders in a praccy. Thought he was actually v good outside of those.

Sweet little Andy ,when the going gets tough you can count on Andy to crumble , make a poor decision put his team mate under the hammer take the bail out kick , he represents everything wrong with this club for decades applauded for doing the easy things average and excused for doing the hard things poorly.
He is a perfectly adequate player in the position he plays to win a premiership.
Some days he will be much much more than that, and other days he will do things less than that level.
But 90% of the games he plays he will be at that level.

How he got drafted will remain one of those mysteries we’ll never get to the bottom of
It’s getting boring, the same people bagging McGrath and Shiel. To those people I would say - did you notice how at virtually no point in the game McGrath/Shiel stood with ball in hand looking downfield, waiting for a lead to present itself? As soon as they got hold of the ball they took off with it, trying to create momentum. These are the coaches instructions and it’s the reason that Caddy and Kako and Martin get opportunities up forward. And it’s going to come undone some times, but it’s sooo worth it.
Both Shiel and McGrath were in our best on Tuesday. Yes there was a point where - having defended beautifully and yet again beaten his man - the ball didn’t sit for Andy. But please, get over it, I hate being bored and you’re boring me. Just stop.

Yeah great question. Maybe he got drafted because everyone who knew anything about football had him in the top three draftees, and most had him as number one? Because, you know, he dominated the year for Brighton Grammar and captained Vic Metro and was named All-Australian?
But I’m only guessing.

He was a successful junior

Why are we having this discussion? Can I respectfully ask that anyone who doesn’t understand why McGrath was drafted just leave the room and allow the adults to speak for a bit?
