What the stuff is wrong with this bloke? Dies anyone know?

Takes a mark and goes does like his been shot. Gets tackled and coked up holding his head like his been wounded.

Il say this IMO he seems like the biggest softie currently in our team. 200 cms is he?
Can't kick can't mark, his spot so far only saved by his age

No confidence at set shots, has completely lost it when shooting for goals. Need to bring in Vickery for Griff and get Griff back to the basics in the two's. Wont happen now with Hampson hurt.

If McBean was giving the same output people would be saying he isn't ready, yet this bloke jogs  around without doing much but nothing is said. He just doesn't contribute enough consistently.
Trade him and hopefully get something good in return.

His run up when shooting for goal is too short. He gets to close too the man on the mark. Yesterday he was diabolical all day. One of our worst yesterday. I would drop him for yesterdays effort. You cant play league footy if you don't want to impose yourself on the game and yesterday he was MIA. I have rated Griff for what he could bring but yesterday he was just a lamp post on the ground. Shocking performance.

Looks like Tarzan , plays like Jane .

Mechanically looks like he has a fantastic technique - but this is one guy I wouldn't want kicking for my life.

Was poor yesterday. Looked underdone. Was often putting one arm up to take a mark. Clearly still favouring his shoulder.

I was saying during the game that a fit McBean would have been a much better option yesterday. He needs time to get his body right. It didn't look right yesterday.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

Agree with this. He clearly wasn't moving like he normally would and he wasn't going for his marks with any confidence.

 :pray he improves this week as he is very important for us!

Disappointing match!

If he isn't 100% play Astbury!

He didnt look right at all, but he's a crap set shot regardless.

Vickery or Mcbean please.

Though thought when he went into the ruck, due to his leap he gave us first use a fair bit

Actually really liked him as the ruck chop out yesterday

Takes a mark and goes does like his been shot.

Did his ankle earlier in the game much the same as Hampson, only one of them was tough enough to play through it :shh
