Still not seeing it? Fair enough.
To me he’s the Dahlhaus from 2015 era. Maybe I’m underrating Dahl.
Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

Bruh. In 2015 Dahl had 590 possessions. He was a full on jet for a hot minute there. I want to love McNeil but that’s insanity.

Maybe 2014 Dahl then. Or 2013? Some early version of Dahl before he was awesome at playing midfield minutes.

Definitely underselling Dahl's impact. He was a lone shining light in his first year or two.

I didn't give votes for the Port game but if I had then I would have given McNeil the 4. Thought he brought a heap of intensity and backed it up against Carlton. Truly line ball decision on that pressure forward role between he and Vandermeer at the moment.

Re: Forget the missed goal, vs Carlton McNeil was Heart and Soul
McNeill was 95% great on Saturday night, and is absolutely not in the mix to get dropped.
I think you can still question his ability to be consistent and 'make it', because anyone consistently missing set shots like that has an uphill battle...but there's no way he is dropped after that.
He needs to maintain that intensity and spend a few hours 1 on 1 with Johnno and the sports psych to sort out those set shots.

Should there be a “Woof Under 10s encouragement award where everyone gets a ribbon”? I’d vote for McNeil in that one.

Re: Forget the missed goal, vs Carlton McNeil was Heart and Soul
I just saw the miss. FMD he’s THE worst goal kicker I’ve ever seen. He tries hard, but bloody hell you just can’t keep doing this and getting games. Or maybe you can.

Did you watch the beautiful handpass to JUH who then snapped a goal. I think it was the 3rd quarter.
He did some very nice things on the night. Too bad he missed that goal. At the ground I said I can't watch this as he came in to kick

I’m not potting his overall game per se. He did a few nice things. But the bloke can’t putt and keeps being invited to play the majors and blowing chances on missed 1 foot tap ins.
