Al I have noticed on certain occasions that he doesn't seem to like body on body or meeting oncoming traffic. But I believe this to be more a judgement thing and also to do with having a light frame. Some players are not meant to be Daniel Hannaberry, Luke Parker, Jude Bolton etc they just aren't built that way. Some players are the type that will go anywhere at the risk of their lives and other players aren't. I don't deny that I would love to see Macca make more of a contest on occasions when the body needs to be met but it isn't in his skill basket. Every time I have seen him go in for any of that type of contact he is awkward, in danger of extinction and gives away frees. He is an outside mid and he plays that game well. I love his delivery, skills and he always does something exceptional.
I'm a fan and have been for a long time now. I do think he could be better though. He's got all the attributes to be a star and I don't think you could put him in that category.

Yeah I agree, after that stand out year in 2008 (I think ) where he was getting touches and kicking goals consistently I thought he had made the step up to elite. He seems to have dropped back down since then to just a good footballer, but not a game breaker. He hasn't dominated a game in a long time. I'd like to see him kick more goals. We know he's capable of it.
Geez, talk about some blasts from the past, NMWBloods, wow!
What's next a thread from Footyhead?
Actually when I opened this thread I failed to notice the date on the entries, I was just thinking "God, look at all this horrendous negativity. It's as bad as when I left RWO 5 years ago." Then I looked at the date and noticed it was 5 years ago. LOL

Roos said during the Freo game that McVeigh is the side's best decision-maker.
He does use the ball really well.
I don't get nervous with the ball in his hands as I do for AJ (the last couple of weeks), Reg (occasionally) and McGlynn (always).

I think, by and large, that Macca is quality. His problem is that he doesn't get the ball enough. Often goes missing for half a game.
