Player Watch #10: Colby McKercher - R9 AFL RS nom - goes bang w/ 37d on his return vs GCS

[Fish Sticks]

not everyone on bigfooty is over 40.

Missing out on seeing The King in action & the NMFC dynasty he bought with it would really suck, considering there hasn’t been much to cheer about since…
I guess those that didn’t can console themselves with pain free joints & a full head of hair

I am happy to put up with the aching joints and lack of hair ha ha what a great time it was to be a North supporter.

If Luke ever happened to kick on his right he'd probably discover that was his preferred foot all along.

I regularly come back to this post and not gonna lie, it still makes me laugh my arse off.

Oh gee, oh my… he is something special.
Shades of Keith Greig. Poise, balance, time to deliver.

Need a highlights package. That second half run from kicking out from full back, 1-2s up the field to the wing. Pants off.

 

[Sphynx]

As I said months ago,

I don't think anyone on the list has the total package he does between speed/skill/endurance.

Wardlaw, LDU and Sheezel have 2 of them, but not all 3 like McKercher does.


I say to myself he is our repayment for the Josh Kelly saga, except Colby is about 2-3 yards quicker than Josh...


Cutting sides to pieces will be an understatement to what he eventually does with LDU and Wardlaw doing the grunt work.

It’s a shame Cunnington went down, as he’d be having a field day dishing it out to all of the above.

 

[Better Loosen Up]

Said all the way through the lead up to last year's draft that I wanted McKercher over Reid. I still stand by that!

 

[Horace]

If our first look today is anything to go by, he is going to be an absolute ripper.

This is where Will Phillips will excel.

Good decision makers we have been waiting for these types for yrs. We have some now so we should start climbing the ladder again.

 

[Friday Night Lights]

Moves like a quicker Sidebottom

They aren't??????????????

Looks capable 1 on 1 too.

Dhursma looks like a 13 year old . Such a baby face !

This guy is going to make a mess of the opposition on the fast deck at marvel

McKercher replacing Hall/JZ does sound like a huge upgrade.

Hall at times was an amazing kick, but it was at times. JZ had a nice calm long kick but I felt his shortcomings were on display when hitting short targets.

McKercher can hit targets consistently and has the agility to break the lines as well. Whether the target is long, short, sideways, give and go, he will create an opportunity.

Yeah his run, overlap and creativity will be 100x that of JZ. But JZ was strong overhead and always put himself in harms way. Really different players.

My response when I see McKercher take off from half back and be involved multiple times in a possession chain

 

[susurrar]

incredible.

he might actually give wally a run for the rising star.

Clive Lloyd, after being demolished in the 1975-76 test series by 2 opposition pace bowlers, wondered if his team should have 4.

Colby, Sheezel, Fisher showed today, it makes a difference having more than one guy that can drive it out from the back half and keep running.

Wonder where Scott is going to play?

Probably the position that got him third in the BnF and elevation to the leadership group. Don't quote me on it though

Okay. The only thing I ever criticised him about was his DE. He is a 100m gain player every time he touches the pill. Wow
