I know these are senior players and really should be able to give instructions, but their reactions when they don't get what they want is bordering embarassing for me. I never learnt a thing from anyone who yells at me....I have no doubt this is starting to affect the younger guys.

Yeah, look, I don't like McVeighs expression at times but I'd rather some kind of disdain to be shown by guys in his position rather than none.
We are reigning Premiership Winners. Sitting 3rd on the ladder.
I've seen and read enough now to know that we are on the right path. People like Shaw are so well regarded around the Club for their work with younger players its not funny. I don't think reactionary expressions on field are too damaging to their development. I imagine its a third of what they'd cop of Horse anyway!

I remember watching the spray literally from Rocket when he was coach - Horse and McVeigh have nothing in comparisonOne vege patch at a time

Did I miss something from the weekend's match? Anyway who cares - things are said and done in the heat of the battle sometimes. I think you're reading too much into it....Comment

Macca is starting to look a bit stressed these days. Someone needs to tell him to take a few deep breaths.If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

Macca has every right.
Shaw on the other hand was a joke at times with his body language. Slightly off topic, but gee he looked slow and old. Wouldn't mind seeing someone like Lamb get a run ahead of him.Comment

My point exactly. I think he was out of line at stages. I know he is AMAZING for the club but he was slow and his decision making at times is not fabulous. He needs to step aside for Lamb. Him and his opinions/agro coming back into a well oiled side is now not required. Just my opinion
. The kids have gotton used to using their own judgement which has been excellent up until the last 2 games - coincidence..I think not.

Give Shaw a break, please. He hadn't played since Round 2. It takes a few games for most players to get back and pick up the pace of the game. Anyone who has played the game at any level knows this to be true. Both he and McVeigh have been leaders on the field for a number of years and if someone is not playing their part as they should, then they must react some way to rectify it. If McVeigh in particular is showing frustration then maybe we are getting things wrong. 36 possessions by him says he is playing his part.Comment

Nico about 5 of those posessions were handballs to Collingwood players

I find it hard to fathom how anybody could be critical of McVeigh's game on Saturday night. Staggering.Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09Comment

Yep im still trying to figure out how most media awards didnt give Macca a vote,brilliant game by him,pity we only got another 250 possesions from the rest of the side combined,pies nearly doubled our touches in the last 1/4.On topic i did see Shaw really giving it to one of our younger guys and while probably justified if i were Rhys you might want to just taper it off a smidge until your in form yourself.
Having said that im sure its his role and the coaches probably encourage it but always helps when you yourself can set the standard you expect and demand of your mates,especially when they are first year players.Comment

While visible criticism isn't ideal, I think it's warranted in some situations as long as the player concerned can see what it's about and is followed up with some constructive feedback. McVeigh, as captain, is also probably most entitled to give that feedback. Shaw, having only just come back, is less entitled at this stage IMO.Today's a draft of your epitaphComment
