Well number 23 may be true and I guess is open to debate, the fact is, he has played in the magoos most of the year and steps up to the plate when called upon, and does a fine job.

If he is number 23 then how come other players are not as effective in ball winning and where the hell are these players when it counts??

Myself I put him in at 14.

I'd play Tuck as a defender.

What are his specs in comparison to McGuane?

I would play him up forward.
Can mark, and kicks accurate

I think he can play forward or back, use him as a utility to try and solidify our spine. He would have to be better than McGone and would be perfect as a foil for Tyrone and big Jack. As long as we recognise his weaknesses and have players running off him to handball to then what can be the problem??
He is 29years old 189cm and 92 kg
McGuane is 24 yo 192 cm and 90kg

Is he the worst kick on the list?

I think McGuane has that honour, at least he has a go

Disagree re: King JT, he has kicked a number of 50mt+ goals in his time up forward.  His delivery as a backman was sub-standard to put it mildly but distance in his kicks was never the issue.

its      because       his        brain      does      not       work          quick             enough.

if he doesnt learn to put the ball to boot and kick for goal when he has the chance his contract renewal will be his last.
