Mykelti Lefau

Keep him in for another few weeks.
Some are expecting miracles.
Not the greatest preparation for a debut when you were named to start 10 minutes before the game started.

Yep crazy what people are saying for a first gamer. Seen plenty in the VFL to suggest he's got great potential. Totally mismatched against a player 3cm taller and 14kg heavier. I don't see him playing as a traditional tall, he has great skill at ground level and is quick. Give him time. I'd keep him in. Gives flexibility to move Balta around.

It was embarrassing.
Shocking performance don't sugar coat it.
Looked like Tazan played like Bambi
What "He has great skill" he couldn't bounce the ball correctly. What were you watching.

Have seen him bounce the ball correctly plenty of times. You have Alzheimer's, only remember last 5 minutes of a player's career?
All far too early a debut for the lad. Needs a season in VFL to learn about the game so hope he won't dwell too much on his first game at the highest level. He will learn given time but whether he has the attributes for an AFL career remain to be seen
Kosi didn't do much in the magoos game. At least Liftupmykilti has got the game one hype, family, haka, out of the system. Let him have another run next week n see what happens.
Allir has smashed a lot better players than Lefau. Reckon he kicks 4 v WC.
He's had a few VFL seasons now - one with Casey (2017), and a couple with us (one also interupted by an ACL).
At 26yo, I hope he's got some scope for improvement.
I am more perplexed by some saying give him 2-3 games in a row, why? he shouldn't have been picked in the first place, Still to roar.
As I've said this year should all be about learning in a professional full-time environment. Needs to go back to the ressies and learn the caper.
This is what perplexes me T-Love.
He's short for a tall and hasnt shown to be an exceptional mark. So he plays as a 3rd medium tall and so will be often manned by a Ratogolea type.
Not many medium undersized talls make it. Stringer and Langford at the bombers.
With Dusty and Shai and 3 talls its relatively easy to escape our forward line.
The alternative is another small there e.g. Judson .
Hope Mykelti does well in the next few games.
I honestly wish the guy the best but just have to say, was quite underwhelmed by that game. Not exactly sure what he really brings based on that performance. Marking? Nah - like many of ours today, got his hands to some but didn't haul any strong ones in I can remember. Kicking? Nope. Tackling? Just a couple of standard ones maybe. Huge speed? Didn't look strikingly quick.
And what was he doing with the ball with that long running opportunity into goal late in the game. Kept waiting for him to try and snap a goal. Was he deciding which foot, probably needed to get on his left.
In the end, just ran till he was tackled. Looked like he'd forgotten which code he was playing and was thinking of running it over for a try.
Sorry, but summed this game up for me. Just not sure what he actually brings playing against the big boys at the top level. Hope I'm wrong and he can develop further and really prove he's up to AFL level.

Wow, ud think half f the knockers here had played 250 outstanding AFL games 
The guy's made his way from Rugby to AFL...hence his age, so its been a long journey. He's overcome an ACL along the way and worked his a$$ off to get here....there are no free lunches.
It's his first AFL game in a side that lets face it was way below their best today against a side that could finish top 4.
Give the bloke a break and lets see what he can do. We're light on in physiques and bodies atm and at 195cm and around 100 kegs we could use his weight being thrown around given a few games. Let's see what he can do given some games.
MRJ has played nearly 30 games and still looks lost at times.
Peace.

Felt a bit for him as he seemed pretty lost….but he’s not the first player to put in a stinker first up. toward the end of the game he was involved in a bit of play where he looked much more composed….game was over by then, so suggests he may have had a serious case of nerves early on. He’s broken the ice now - wouldn’t be the worst thing for him to go back to VFL and hope for another run in the Seniors down the track.Wow, ud think half f the knockers here had played 250 outstanding AFL games

The Oooze said he seemed a bit lost at times. Understandable. Was not meant to play so early.
