How Slow Is Mcveigh!!!!

[jono2707]

McVeigh is playing a sort of quarterback role off the half backline in a similar way to Yarran, Deledio, and also what Jared Brennan is now doing for the Suns. It's not a bash and crash sort of role and none of those guys are overly physical, but they're all considered to be good players. I think he's playing a very effective role and in the whole his disposal and decision making has been pretty good so far...

Some perspective: the outside player player Jetta has 44, 14 CP at 75%. And the inside superstar JPK has 90, 55 CP at 65%. Though, Jetta has 9 tackles and McVeigh only has 6. I don't think McVeigh would want to be out-tackled by a half-forward/flanker who weighs 30 grams.

That's a bit harsh. Jetta's put on a lot of muscle over summer and must now weigh at least as much as a stick of butter (250g)!

I know stats don't tell the whole story, but looking at this year's, he has 64 total possessions, 21 being contested, at just over 71% disposal efficiently. I think this supports the idea that he is playing aright, if not setting the world on fire. I think it also suggests that he is a bit more of an inside/outside player rather than being one or the other.

I don't it's McVeigh that's changed, it's the way the game is now being played. With all sides implementing the same pressure tactics and numbers around the stoppages, McVeigh just doesn't have the build or the opportunities to create the space he needs to be more effective.

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.
