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

[Gumble Frankieton]

Does he have the ability to kick on his right foot as well?

 

[Friday Night Lights]

Just got one of those legs you really trust too. Doesn’t miss a short-medium target.

 

[InFineForm]

Yeah I know who he is…not fit to tie George or Colby’s boot laces. Good
Player looks good in a good team, but different class.

Actually not sure the 'good team' bit holds up any more. Don't think Geelong are that good at all.
Not saying Dempsey is or isn't, but the team aren't.

 

[Friday Night Lights]

Kid directly behind us wouldn’t have been more than 8 years old and his commentary during the game was exemplary.

Knew every player on the ground (from both sides) and when Colby laced it out to Souvenir after the run he yelled “Colby McKercher, what a gun”

Had a chuckle when he yelled out just before half time “Mac Andrew is cutting us to shreds!”

I’m sold. Give him Brian Taylor’s job right now.

 

[speedy]

Yes it’s where he started from that is most impressive

Yep, forgot he started in the d50.

It doesn’t even matter if he’s kicking is a bit hit and miss at times. You would be lucky to find 6 players in the league who can get the ball 30+ times and be involved in a chain of possession for the full length of the field like that, and finish it off.

What a weapon.

The kid was truly brilliant, would make BT sound like a suburban division 3 caller (which isn’t hard)..

Another corker, his old man was yelling for LMac to switch play across the face of goal at one stage in the last and his kid pipes up with “ahh, no we don’t want him switching play.. believe me..”

I nearly spat my beer all over the people in front of us..

Graduated today from high draft pick that the footy world wanted to see develop to absolute jet ready to blow up the comp. 10 games and nearly a 40. Ridiculously good, just wants the ball in his hands

Kids already got more footy iq than lmac

 

[Roostorm]

37……..god help the comp when he’s got 100 games under his belt

Last 4 x AFL games has been 30+ disposals.

 

[Roo202]

Who the fk is Dempsey?

$3.50 for the RS apparently

 

[Souup]

Full run

I'm a big fan of Clohesy, but when Colby shaped to kick at the 0:16 mark, giving Clohesy the hope that the chase was finally over, only for Colby to put the foot down again and burn him off for good, he took Clohesy's soul.

There was some trepidation about moving Harry from HBF to mid forward, yet he has gone to another level imo.
I think the same will likely happen with Colby. He accumulates a lot of possession and generates a lot of drive out of the back half through a will to create possession chains, but I can’t wait to see what he does when he’s more around the ball

 

[Swallow_Wood]

Can he kick yet?

 

[koshari]

Can he kick yet?

Takes another bounce while pondering the question...

 

[3051]

If this guy keeps getting 30+ touches and a highlight reel play a game, is he going to steal Wardlaw's Rising Star award?

 

[northbergs]

This and Powell's torp that led to Shiels goal are my two favourite pieces of play for the season, and if LDU had of kicked his goal in the fourth that would have been the top three plays of the season in the same game. We have so many exciting young players on our list that can take a game on and do the remarkable that we will be the most exciting team to watch for the next 10-12 years. Exciting times ahead.

Hopefully we can afford to pay all of Wardlaw, LDU, Sheezel, McKercher!

BT50s off the books for all!

 

[northbergs]

A few posters may final realize that maybe winning against the Suns last year was not as bad as they believe. Missing out on Ried and getting Colby not that bad at all.

Although, we would have had both Reid and McKercher. Having said that, Duursma will be very good.

Is he still eligible for the RS this year? Should be nominated this week if so.

Already had nominations

He was nominated in Round 9.

 

[Makeshift Park]

Blimey, imagine if he could kick well too

 

[RossHenshaw]

Blimey, imagine if he could kick well too

I kept quiet on all that insane comments about Kerch last week ?! Wtf ?! Can’t kick
Gee we have some knobs here that know nothing ….
Where are they tonight?

 

[RossHenshaw]

None is saying he's a crap kick, just not elite.

Kerch is not elite Frank ….
Go heck yourself
