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

[Caracas]

His performance in the last VFL game didn’t demand a call up. Got plenty of it, but the composure fell away as the game went on. He looked pretty cooked by the q4. Obviously there’s an elite player there, but I’d rather he’s cherry ripe and oozing confidence when he returns.

My gut feeling is he would still be an upgrade on a couple of players, if he came in this week.

Surely, he comes in this week. The absence of Wardlaw resulted in a distinct lack of “zing” in our team at the weekend. Colby will supply that. On my way to the game on Saturday, I looked at our line-up. I, honestly, felt a bit flat, as we looked quite bland. It’s a minor detail, I know. However, LMac, Scott, Shiels, Tucker, Pink and Teakle is one or two too many meh players to be fielding. Colby and, the following week, Wardlaw, changes that up completely.

As long as he doesn’t have his tongue out all is good

I was thinking of the current No 11

Loved that VFL footage. Colby hasn't played in our reborn post-bye team yet and I'm getting antsy about it!

Just an electric excitement machine

We have another special youngster here. Sign him up to a long term contract asap

 

[Billy Not Really]

Becoming another pillar in the team, so much room for growth and he’s already damn good.

The highlight doesn't catch that McKercher ran and kicked it out of 50 before following up

He's running around GC players like they're nothing.

Absolute superstar. Gun.

WOW!!! Colby........ taking the pi55!!!!

 

[Nylex]

Sonic!!!

 

[Grogg]

Sonic!!!

Got the 'do as well

We had to wait sometime but we finally got Josh Kelly, albeit a faster one in Kerch.

This kid will be so special.

He's better than Kelly easily.

 

[Sphynx]

Is going to be a nuclear bomb of an offensive weapon in 5 years.

 

[The acurate one]

Definitely got a tad lost in the media/Reid carry on.
TBH he's more of the type we need than Reid is.

Hard to combat someone who loves a run , backs himself and is quick.

 

[swaeney]

How clean. It’s a shame he can’t kick

 

[giantroo]

Full run

 

[amaz199]

25 disposals at 3 qtr time to go with that run.

Holy moly.

 

[Disco Dew]

What a star. Love him
