How Slow Is Mcveigh!!!!

[Jewels]

Well Mal has been up there the past few weeks. And bizarrely LRT. And Shaw's kicking a few weeks ago. Wait for Armstrong to drop from his stellar game last weekend.

No not Tony, never!!!!!!
With that beautiful warm smile and his obvious delight to be playing for this club I hope he never copes it!

I'll leave that for when White returns to seniors...........

Bring back Bevan. We've run out of whipping boys.

Someone may have wrote about this earlier in this thread but I am not shifting bck to see

Did anyone notice Macca head off to the rooms in the last quarter on Saturday night? He was also seen holding his groin. I wonder if he has had a groin issue or whether he picked something up on Saturday night? The bye may have come at the perfect time.

Could explain why he may seemed slightly off the pace too?

Probably went for a pee.

He got in the coaches votes this week.

[Mountain Man]

and surely his role needed to change with Parker and McGlynn out - did the team thing well, it seemed to me

I agree with recent posts, he was very good on Saturday night. Stanton was largely neutralised and Macca still got plenty of the footy himself. It's important to have a look at where he is playing and what his role is on any given week before judging how he's going.

Like Jewels I'm not much of a fan but he was so effective on Saturday. It also looks like to me that he did that shut-down role while by playing with an injury. Didn't he go down to the rooms in the third quarter? And if you watch the replay, when all the boys are coming off at the end and walking to the rooms it looks like he might have a injured/sore groin. Explains some of his field kicking this season.

The good thing about him tagging is that he can't go missing without it being very obvious.

I am anything but a McVeigh fan and certainly don't think he is a particularly good on field leader, but he played a wonderful game on Saturday night, completely nullifying Stanton whilst impacting the game himself. Can't ask much more of a footballer then that!

I agree, he played an excellent game.
Tagging seems the best option for McVeigh, he does it well.

How about changing the title of this thread to 'How effective is McVeigh?'. It's been an interesting discussion - I'll have to watch the game again, well at least 3 quarters, and focus on what he did to stop Stanton. Often players performing stopping roles (variously McVeigh, Smith, Jack, Rhyce etc) can be overlooked until you have a close look at the impact they had on the outcome of the game - stats don't always paint the whole picture. Whilst McVeigh is not a tough in-and-under type, I think he is showing additional maturity as a player this year and he often pops up in the right place at the right time.....

Agree. He was excellent.

[Captain]

I think he has been playing reasonably well.

If pace is a concern, maybe some of you should turn your attention to Hanners....
