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

[RossHenshaw]

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

Kerch is not elite Frank ….
Go heck yourself

 

[Frank Thring]

How stupid does Frank Thring look now saying his kicking is not elite. Get in here you dumbass and say you were wrong. Idiot

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.

Poor bugger became Cale Hooker.

As an added bonus, now he is doing the kicking in, i am 1000% calmer, than seeing say LMac, Corr, Sleevo, Bailey etc raise the blood pressure nearly every time

Love it.

I don't mind Derm, but f***ing shut up mate. Loves the sounds of his own voice.
Completely missed the start and middle of amazing transition football.

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

Deadly over 35. Like Brent Harvey or Merrett.

Is under surveillance in the Epworth tonight.

Monitoring for leather poisoning.

Touch and go, I've heard. Literally.

He is listed as 182cm which blows my mind. He looks like a speedster around 173-175cm range. He is deceptively tall(er).

 

[Blightys Barrel]

From Rd 1 I swear his has put 1-2 KGs of muscle on. Looks bigger to the naked eye.

 

[Jeremy Jordan]

Not even teeing off on the posters that said sonic couldn’t kick, as we all make mistakes on our calls on people, but this cats speed and kicking at speed is off it’s wheels.

 

[Jasemon]

Full run

Seriously my favourite moment of the year. That was breathtaking and comparisons to Boomer are absolutely spot-on!!!

Sweet Jesus this kid can play!!!!!

BT50s off the books for all!

And called the wrong Gold Coast player in that play call.

Kept doing the same with our players. Started blaming McKercher for the goal Flanders kicked for 20 seconds, until the replay showed it was Powell...

And referred to the Suns as the Giants multiple times in the replay......

Too much of that “white stuff” in his system ….

 

[roos_fanatic08]

On that run, it looked like when he took possession he was just about at top speed, then with a little bit of pressure he rips through another two gears and bursts away.

I can’t think of any other player who can be running bloody fast, then just find another gear so easily

Just wait until he is a bit stronger through the hips and can break tackles like he did in juniors, the kid will be unstoppable.

Like Sheezel, we all knew how much of a gun Colby was when he was drafted, but I never thought he’d come in and do what he has done so far.

Was laughing at this comment thinking geez someone's not holding back at this Frank Thring fella.

Hitchcockian twist to see it was in fact the man himself.

Oh. I thought that GCS and GWS were one and the same. You learn something new every day.

More plastic than a Housewives of Beverly Hills team photo..

 

[Shagga is all Class]

666 metres gained... Devils bound????

No, just officially announcing to the football world he is clicking into Beast Mode. In game 10!

Beep Beep! Clohesy was like Wile E Coyote.

 

[Gasometer]

I rate the guy immensely, but uncontested kick mark switches, kick ins etc aren’t going to be the areas he will be known for. Those numbers are reflected with most players who get that role.

I can’t wait to see him running a wing/mid rotation ala Errol Gulden but with added pace and maximum damage going forward

As an added bonus, now he is doing the kicking in, i am 1000% calmer, than seeing say LMac, Corr, Sleevo, Bailey etc raise the blood pressure nearly every time
