    Too slow and from what I've been told he's not that serious about his football. He's a dead ringer for his old man though

      IMO young Macpherson turns the ball over - a lot. Saturday was best game I?ve seen him play (I watched first 3 quarters).

      Our day will come
      And we'll have everything.
      We'll share the joy
      Just like '54 again.

        I agree he has improved season on season, but would he be another McComb if drafted ie a very good VFL player but potentially only 'on the fringe' at AFL level.

        Personally I'd prefer Chatfield - think he could be something (not disimilar in someways to Fergus Greene and/or maybe Bedendo). Would need to finish the VFL season solidly to impress recruiters however.

        (Maybe someone else can confirm but I think Chatfield was an NGA player for us at the Rebels during his draft year(?))
        There is no sadder sight than a young pessimist.

          Sounds like he'd be right up our alley then.
