Past #26: Ben McKinley - acquired for pick 86 in trade with WC - delisted at end of 2012 season

F*** off idiot. Pick 79 is worth 2 cheeseburgers and a bag of soggy fries.

I'd be way more concerned about wasting number 4 pick.

You mad bro?
No swap backs. Bet you wish you had the cheeseburger now huh?

Is that what they call Gaff now? Bit harsh. We all now know that he was an absolute waste of the number 4 pick, but still.

OTT quote removed

what are you being paid to do? It obviously doesn't involve the need to spell correctly!

 

[AGC]

But the Facebook people said he was amazing!!!! Surely they can't be wrong.

as previously stated throughout the year.....will not make it...list clogger.

Lol, we know that do we? Fail troll is a fail troll.
Gaff is easily better than the entire line up at Arden St, but your mob recruited Ben Mckinley the worst player from the reigning wooden spoon team, so I don't need to tell you.

Gaff will be in Melbourne in a few years like Juddy.

This has to be placed in the 'worst comment in BF history' category.

Well done Kelvin.

And if your lucky, we'll do a 3 way trade and you can get your pick 79 back, course no one will want McKinley so you might be screwed

Ironically, Gaff looks to be going down the McKinley route - too good for the WAFL/VFL, not good enough for AFL.

Don't be ridiculous brah.

We'll give you back pick 79 for Chris Masten.

Well done Kelvin.

Thank you. But I can't take all the credit. This was all made possible by the North Melbourne Football clubs coaching staff and players.

We gave them pick 7000 and they didn't even use it from memory.

WC used pick 86 that was received from North for McKinley to upgrade Callum Wilson off the rookie list.

 

[Glory Days]

Is he on a one year contract?

 

[tesseract]

Is he on a one year contract?

Contract status is unknown. Some speculate that it is, but it's unlike WC to give out such a contract to a player his age unless there's an issue such as the player being disgruntled due to a lack of opportunity.
Who would've picked Quentin Lynch to come out this season and blitz the way he has. Callum could possibly be miffed at the lack of opportunity, if he only took a 1 year deal, especially given his good form for the Eagles when given an opportunity last season.

 

[Teffy]

I agree how many marks did Petrie or Edwards take today again?

Our forwards had no space today. Their extra man in defence destroyed us.

I would judge McKinleys game more if it was more like that last few weeks, open free flowing games.

Probably shouldnt have played today though based on St Kildas flooding game plan.

Bingo!

McKinley isn't a HFF either.

I suspect Bon played Ben to try and get some seperation in the StKilda defence. It didn't work. In fact, our inclination to bomb the ball long only played in to StKildas hands and we would have been much better served utilising a crumber instead of McKinley.

Brad Scott didn't have a very good game.

 

[nathanr]

i think everyone should get off mckinleys back for crying out loud he has come from a different game plan to learn ours he has played 2 games at seniour level it will take time im sure he will come out and kick butt he doesnt deserve to be dropped after 1 game

obviously Hansen is to blame. His decoy work just wasn't up to scratch in the second half

 

[alex 17]

After that Saints game I was fuming he ever got a gig for North because of how poor he was.

Was just thinking.. he kicked 5 on the weekend all be it did not feel like he had much of an impact.
Having said that if we lose to the Saints should he got one final stand?

 

[year of the roo]

Why? Anything he produces against Richmond would be too little too late. He's done.

 

[Quivorir]

Gone. Thankfully.

 

[Elite Master]

Honest B-Grader at best, who might dominate VFL level but is clearly not AFL standard despite his limited opportunities.

He's a watered down working class version of Edwards.

 

[Liam Boy]

Playing him against St. Kilda was an awful idea and it isn't his fault the coach selected him.

 

[Teffy]

He needs to play close to goal.
