Gorringe best is probably better than Philips and I did see him take a nice mark or two but he lacks intensity....Philips ruckwork isnt bad for a novice but he seemed butterfingered vs the Bombers
and couldnt hang onto the ball....both perform better when played as the 1st ruck..

Phillips is an upgrade on Warnock, whether he can mark or not, he looks more likely too and his tapwork isn't half bad.
Gorringe is an upgrade on Watson. Uses his size a lot better and has more of an influence on the game given limited opportunites.....to this point.

Whiley Coyote just needs to realise he needs to get rid of the ball quicker, make his decisions quicker etc

I was thinking the same, if he's just slow of foot then he might make it, but if he's slow of mind (or both) then he's toast.
Let’s go BIG !

Cant handball very well either. Has an awful technique.
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

Did you notice McKays kicking technique ? ????
Awkward looking.
You think so? I thought he looked ok, most left footers do.

Yes. He doesn't look for the first option. He doesn't have the pace for many other options. He hasn't shown the game nous to select the best option - yet. Not insoluble problems yet, but something that does need attention.
Live Long and Prosper!

On the move he is a smooth a kick as you are likely to see. But with a set shot he needs work.
Menzel was the same. On the run he was deadly. However, he never had a set routine for a set shot and it could (and did) look a lot less effective than it could have been.
The first thing we need to do with McKay is get the kicking coach at him, so he has a set routine whenever he has a set kick. It has improved Casboult, who has a lot more issues with his kicking technique than McKay does.

Unusually I quite like him, he is a good size, it just seems he hasn't caught up to the speed of the game yet. Big jump from local league and training.
He seems to get the ball, be in the right position to get the ball but takes a lazy step then decides what to do with it. Needs better awareness of his situation.
Maybe next game his job is to get rid of the ball at his first quickest option. Just sayin...

Only if he is not kicking straight, if he is kicking straight I could't care what he looks like.

Wow, this guy has played 20 games in his career and has been unlucky with injury.....

Let's see how he fares when Murphy, Gibbs, Cripps, Kerridge are taking most of the heat?
Finals, then 4 in a row!

That particular trait is not a good one to have - Rarely do any quality players that have this trait starting off.

Cripps first 10 games I thought he looked slow pace wise but was always looked capable with his hands and decision making.

Decision making and execution are the fundamentals that champion teams have an abundance of.

Whiley, Wood, Jones, Dick or Tutt to name a few, cant be around when we have built some depth into this list IMO.

I have reservations about Whiley too.  We really need midfielders who can take the heat off Murphy, Gibbs and Cripps rather than relying on them to do the heavy lifting.
