If he's fit he plays.
2nd best key forward on the list.

Said no one.

Tigertool said:I think McBean looked good when he touched it, but not enough to keep his spot. 7 touches and an out on the full isn't really enough, I don't think. By no means am I a McBean knocker, it's just that he's not quite ready. Had we lost I doubt people would be saying he stays.
Griff to come back.

year of the tiger said:Agree - Griffiths is miles ahead of McBean and should come back in if fit.
McBean is still very young and will be better for the run in the seniors
Barnzy said:The argument is more Vickery vs McBean deep. Griffiths plays more up the ground as highlighted by his 19 disposals, 10 marks, 2 goals vs Brisbane. McBean can't do that.
Unless we permanently move Riewoldt up the field which in my eyes is not his strengths.
lamb22 said:In fact his ground play, agility, skills and decision making make him a very good up field player.
Barnzy said:He doesn't have the fitness to be a lead up option up the ground for 4 quarters. Cmon Lamb, that's ridiculous. Your love is blinding your logic. I'm a fan too, think he will be a good player.
He's a deep threat right now, at least until he matures and builds a tank. With his lack of strength too if he loses a one on one contest up the ground it's bad news on the counter.
lamb22 said:Morris is the obvious out (together with Batch and Houli)
tigersnake said:I'll say it again, it shouldn't be a McBean V griff thing even if Griff does return.

Carter said:McBean's influence cannot understated.
Carter said:I like griff but he can't lead. Doesn't know how. Vickery doesn't know how either. His bad habit is to crawl out the back.
Tigertool said:McBean didn't didn't prove that on Sunday either.
Carter said:Luckily there's two season's worth of VFL proof.

tigersnake said:Its not all about numbers. In this case the numbers are crap. He was just involved in key plays, not always with a stat. Brought the ball to ground against 3 defenders at one stage that resulted in a goal, B Ellis I think? Invoved in a heap of great team goals that got us going. I'm actually a bit stunned anyone would countenance him being dropped. I'll give people the benefit of the doubt by accepting youse haven't seen the replay. First viewing I thought he was good, second viewing I thought he was very good. Considering how stodgey our fwd line has been all year, AND that it was his first game, I think he was bloody great!
