I am yet to see this natural forward everybody speaks of. When I have watched, I have seen somebody playing forward that has the worst timing of any footballer I have ever seen.
It baffles me why people will argue on the one hand to stop excusing and justifying repeat poor performance from the coach, and in the next breath explain away McCarthy’s lack of form.
Since joining us he has averaged 11 disposals and 1.1 goals a game. Kersten was tracking better than this and people wanted him lynched.
He didn’t manage to increase his output even at WAFL level.
I am glad he has another year on his contract and want him to show what he was showing at GWS.
He needs to go to Peel and bust some games apart, and Banfield has been doing this. Surely with Fyfe coming back in sore, more support through the midfield would allow Fyfe to spend time forward and help protect him.
Seriously can anybody really say we would miss his current output, it’s not like the 2 tackles a game even add much to our forward pressure.
