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

[Psi-Roos]

And a pack of Salt n vinegar chips so Robbo can rest them on his chest while lying on the couch in front of the tv

I feel attacked.

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Foot soreness 9/10 times = stress fracture /hot spot. Disaster.

Given his last 3 games I'm diagnosing leather poisoning.

 

[amaz199]

Don't reckon it's anything too serious. Has been running harder and getting heaps of the footy.

Possibly just soreness.

Bruce McAvaney turns and looks at his co-commentator Dennis Cometti and says in his best Bruce voice..

"Oh Colby McKercher, he's going to be special isn't he?.."

Dennis responds in his best Dennis voice..

"He already is Bruce.."

I thought Jeremy Cameron had near killed him the other week when he split him up the middle and he fronted up the next week.

Kid is proper hard.

If there's any hint of a serious issue, rest him, we need him to be a 250 gamer, but also, I reckon he doesn't miss games easily either.

And Cameron has delayed concussion obviously due to Colby’s hit on him. As they say a good solid concussion takes time lol

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Often depends on how cautious they are. Will day missed 3-4 months, McKay last year missed 6 weeks. Would be looking at 6-8 at least I’d say given the club wouldn’t be taking any risks.

Will wait for the diagnosis, however is likely.

Let’s wait for the diagnosis.

 

[DocSholl]

Bit of Boomer about him there.

Boomer's patented chip kick then immediately sprint for the return handball

[DuckYeah]

With the coaches having him hone in on his defensive game, this kid will be a serious two way runner! His running ability is insane. He might end up having a better career than Reid

One thing this kid monsters is running. What a beast

 

[nicko74]

You wouldn't read about this shit!!

Next minute walks out of the hospital doing moon boot exercises

 

[CURVE]

Jeez, our back half can't seem to take a trick this season, Logue's return is going to be delayed, Goater's out for the season, Dawson is out (not sure for how long) and now potentially McKercher.

I think we have the makings of a pretty solid defensive unit if they can just stay on the park.

[Psicosis]

On 360 tonight. I hope Slobbo asks him about Tassie. Bet he won’t again.

What’s stood out from these couple of interviews is how confident and c*ck sure this kid is. It’s a joy to see.

[Merlin007]

It happens. Best take the conservative option now

 

[Dan]

**** off

 

[TurnoverMerchant]

 

[justroyal]

Damn let’s just hope it’s not a navicular stress fracture

 

[Jeremy Jordan]

Damn let’s just hope it’s not a navicular stress fracture

This is north Melbourne, he will most likely end up with his foot amputated.

[viccles]

Can this AFL season be over already??

 

[R00StaR]

How good are his responses.....pauses, friendly but steely eyed glare at reporter, thinks, then answers clearly

Yeah he's a rippin' young fella, love to hear he's settled in so well along with attitude to our current situation. Pleased to hear the players and club are of the same mindset.
Its coming, im just gonna enjoy those green shoots until then.
