He really must have put in the hard yards during the pre-season. Agree that coaches must love him, he seems to be learning every game.
I’m sure I read somewhere recently it’s the first time he’s actually had a pre-season.

As for the other Mc - McInerney - I know there’s a lot of focus, rightly, on a lot of our young talents but gee he’s got the ability to be as good as any of them. He’s playing consistently good footy, has terrific foot skills and his ability to truly run the length of the ground is special.

Having an old-fashioned winger is something we’ve not had since Hanners at his peak (even if he was a bit more inside).
