Not bad considering their side boasts the likes of Grigg, Lewis Johnston ect.

McKenzie’s 2019 SANFL stats:

Averaged 22.5 disposals per game, 18.5 of those were kicks. Averaged 96.2% DE across the season (how is that even possible?!)

8.2 marks per game
7 rebound 50’s.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

97% on 18 kicks per game????????

Quick, draft him!

 

[Luke72]

Parlour King?!? Zondor would be impressed

Yep...according to the SANFL site.

I’m not sure how accurate the stats are but but the vast majority of his games he went @100%DE

Wonder where ‘breaking’ bread is these days. Never looked up to Afl level.

He quit the SANFL a few years ago to play in the Adelaide local leagues. Plays for Payneham Norwood Union Football Club.

He was a genuine gun in the state leagues especially his last few years for Norwood but just never had enough speed to step up to AFL level.

I remember walking past bread when he was getting out of his car for training and noticed on the passenger side there was kfc, cans of soft drink and other stuff . Not the diet of a AFL player.

These guys burn upwards of 6k calories per day. If people think elite athletes are eating chicken and broccoli all day they're sorely mistaken.

Every one I've known personally who talks publicly about how strict their diet is was stretching the truth a fair bit.

Let’s say his body shape resembled someone who wasn’t eating healthy.

He had a Matt Suckling type career waiting for him.

Also lol, it must be halfway through off season if we're lamenting Brad McKenzie hypotheticals.

Actually it was 1/2 through the season. Reckon he didn’t give him self the best chance

Are you saying there is a link between eating zinger burgers and elite kicking efficiency??
