I don't know what McVeigh has to do to satisfy some of our so called "fans" here (and I thihk we all know the main offender), the continued sniping really just reflects the ignorance of that poster. Last night he kicked two very good long range goals and again provided good composure.

Kudos to you for standing by a stalwart of the club...

I can't see him playing on beyond next year when his contract runs out

Wasn't McVeigh responsible for Harvey last night? Always harder to tell on TV but he seemed to be with him a lot. I couldn't possibly knock his game last night.

Similar to last week, we had a lot of good players and the opposition was still in the game midway through the last term. That's the only concern, not quite capitalising on our dominant periods.

I hope that story is right, I've always felt we were vulnerable to him leaving but I never wanted him to leave. We've got the makings of a great engine for years to come.

Other random thoughts

* Rampe a genuine leader at the club and the defence looked good but I still fear it'll be our weak link come September
* How composed is young Mills after only 10 games, nothing Flash Jack, he just goes about his business and does his role for the team, what an old head he seems to have on those young shoulders
* Hewett will be a good player for us but he still drifts in and out of games but does do a lot of little things that count. Not being too critical as he's come on well but I'm not sure he is quite in our best 22 yet
* McGlynn continues to show how important he is to us

Finally I don't know what McVeigh has to do to satisfy some of our so called "fans" here (and I thihk we all know the main offender), the continued sniping really just reflects the ignorance of that poster. Last night he kicked two very good long range goals and again provided good composure. Having said that I can't see him playing on beyond next year when his contract runs out

You should be banned for these sort of posts.

He was very good last night actually. I just don't get it, I don't get it at all, how McVeigh is so maligned on here. he's not lazy, he's not a lair, he's been a great servant of the club and overall his standards are very high, not to mention his leadership. For sure he is starting to battle father time but I think he still offers a lot

I guess some people don't get that Macca is working his arse off on the ground distributing players like a chess game. He is the manipulator when required and the instigator ditto. Actually he is a Captain isn't he. Doing his job. Beautifully.

I dunno.
Grundy has a crap game and people come running to slam him
Mitchell gets BOG two weeks in a row and his skills are attributed to those around him
Tippett copped a bunch of criticism, so has Reid.
Then there's White when he was here...
Hiscox has one game and people are blindfolding him and placing him in front of a line of itchy fingers.

Anyone seems fair game for criticism, but dare call out McVeigh on some average games, and it seems he is off limits because he once copped a lot of criticism and then came good.
It's almost like "he's already had his fair share of knockers, lay off him"

Gross hypocracy

You could add Lloyd to that list.

Mark Robinson on SEN radio said that McVeigh was sensational last night. So I guess barry is right after all. We can't attribute everything Robbo says to alcoholism. Or could we?

Robbo was at the bar during the first quarter.

Young Zak finally showing us what he can do. Is that his best game so far??
A great team effort with some brilliant handball releases fro DH, JPK and TM.

How does a player as slow as Tom end up on his own so often?? Is he the Cheshire Cat?? just appears where and when he wants on the ground??

Thoroughly enjoyed the game last night as much as the week before!!

I differ here. It appears that he's been over-paid top dollars since his arrival.
Was never a fan of Barry & I've had a gut feel he'll follow in his footsteps.
e.g. looking back at the Richmond game - no Kennedy (doing the hard stuff) = no Mitchell.
Won't be sorry if he leaves - rather we invest our resources on a few genuine goers like Lloyd, Jones, etc.

You can't be serious....

Only complaint with Zak is his kicking is all over the place - but he really does appear to be beginning to find his feet as a senior footballer, and the stupid agro is beginning to drop out of his game as well

dont think its that CTS. You're allowed an opinion but he has been subject to a sustained trolling with a complete lack of respect.

Most of the post game reactions from a lot of posters are over the top in relation to really any of the players you mentioned.

I am not a big fan of jones but he's shown some good form of late and I'm ok to give him time despite questions over his temperament.

To me it's a separate issue reviving the 'mchack' moniker and mentioning him seemingly in every post. Aside from anything else there is no one on the list who can perform better than he currently is.

Obviously now we don't need to talk about how crap anz was there needs to be a new troll target.

Tom understands the game and just knows where to run. He's just got it.
