McVeigh

Post by robbie67 »

I hang a bit of shit on the guy, because he is a bit of a caricature, but have to say he has been f****** good the last two weeks, and just may be extending his career.

Dyson may be able to hang on as a depth player as well.

Spike was excellent tonight and I should have given him votes in retrospect

Because of his superb kicking skills, he seems to be the go to guy to release from the backline. He played a top notch game tonight.

Really liked McVeigh's game and really like the way you have given him a wrap Robbie67. Credit where it's due. He sort of played a point guard type of position last night just setting up the play across half back. Hopefully he plays out the remainder of his career in defence.

The last couple of weeks have been his best games in quite a long while. Hope he can keep it up.

Me too, have always been a fan of Spike and great to see him enjoy his footy around all the younger guys and still play his role in the side!

Has gone a bit of the way to redeeming the junk he served up over most of 2009-2010 in the last month or so. He is contracted until the end of next year and i still don't see him being extended beyond then, but i think he is finally coming to the realisation that he can't hold a spot in the midfield over the young guys, and he just has to do his role down back. Maybe it's finally dawned on him that being a team player and providing a steady hand down back provides so much more leadership than all the jumper-tugging, chest thumping and rev-up speeches he's done over the years.

Yep, been for for the last couple of weeks. Still not sure what the point of one R.Dyson is, though.

Speaking of McVeighs, does anyone have any idea what is wrong with Marks little niece? I just know there are 'issues', was wondering what they were.

No idea, but J McVeigh played today, so all must be well (or at least much better) now.

Oh, and I agree Spike was very good last night. Was in my next 2 or 3 for votes. Great to see.

Yeah it's a health thing, just wondered if anyone knew what. NO special reason, just nosey.
