some of mcveighs plays tonight were judd-like. some.

[Robbo]

He went missing big time tonight.

Should he be dropped in your opinion?

[Nico]

Should he be dropped in your opinion?

How about to the thirds.

[ScottH]

Should he be dropped in your opinion?

Not on tonight's performance. And from what I heard he had a cracker game last week.

If he didn't get dropped for poor form in the first half of the season, there is no way he'll be dropped now.

[SimonH]

Just nobody credit the selection committee with continuing to pick him when many here said he should be dumped, okay?

Matthew Hayden board.

[NMWBloods]

Surely tonight was evidence that he should be unleashed from his tagging roles and told to go out and win the ball.

Yes - this is what I keep calling for. He's not a tagger - he's quite a skilled player who needs to concentrate more on his own game.

Yes yes yes. He's not a tagger, and we have enough of them already as it is. He and Malceski used to tear up the AFL Canberra comp and we know how good Eski has been. Let him the boy play!

We've got quite good attacking players but they're rarely allowed to play that way.

As someone said a week or so ago, if the Swans drafted Chris Judd he would have been played as a tagger. Very frustrating.

[NMWBloods]

I'd also like to see Ablett freed up from being a tagger - see what he can do if he's let to go after the ball.

[WASwansFanatic]

McVeigh was good.

[sWAns63]

McVeigh was good.

Though when he makes mistakes they're whoppers

[dendol]

He didnt make too many mistakes from what I saw tonight. Most of his possessions were positive - the full-paced, one-handed pickup and 40m drilling pass to Leo on the lead comes to mind, and also his tackle on Glass (or was it Hurn) early in the game.

Also very effective coming out as a receiver from the centre. And yes, comparisons to B1 are warranted- he's slow, cannot find the pill against good sides, and has an appalling kick (somehthing like 2.7 at set shots this year).

I dont know what to make on a 12 point defeat in a game where we were smashed 80% of the time.

[Bloody Hell]

Top flight performance tonight. Very good out of the centre.

[sWAns63]

Apart from the great mistakes he sometimes makes at the moment he will become an important player in time.
Sometimes you see glimpses of what he can do
