VFL Past #65: Shaun McKernan 🐴 - Returns to the Dons

[Vindicater]

I don't see how hit outs are even relevant to the discussion honestly.

And this folks is what we in the business call a straw man.

 

[Maddogm]

Why is he the most polarizing figure at essendon? Because no player in living memory has had such a big gap between his best and worst.

It was only about 3 seconds iirc

 

[The chorus]

I'd give him a 2 year deal if it was needed, but he usually plays better when he has the threat of an imminent delisting hanging over his head.

I have been at a couple of games where he played lately and I would guess that if Essendon doesn't give him at least a 2 year deal another club will

Thanks Corey.

Aaaaaaaaaand if that club's North he'll say no.

 

[Studly Baker]

Aaaaaaaaaand if that club's North he'll say no.

He'd be behind Brown as a FF and I don't think he can play CHF, so I think you're right. Richmond, Melbourne, Bulldogs and obviously us have more of a need for him than North.

Reimers ?

Not as consistently weird

Not as consistently weird

McKernan is meant to be a ripping bloke.

His moments of madness are limited to crossing the white line.

 

[Bombers36]

SMACK is becoming a very consistent AFL player now. Wasn't a star last night but certainly did his bit and got his 14 touches, 10 hit-outs, 4 inside 50's and 2 goals. I'll take that every game from the big SMACK

Just spoke with him in fact. He is a ripping bloke. Told him I'd be down at Training tomorrow to watch with my little girl and he told me to shout out to him when I'm there.

I am seriously fan girling right now! teeheehee!!

Legitimately one of the nicest blokes you’ll meet. Had nothing but good experiences with the bloke - absolute gentleman.

And a much better footballer than Mitch Brown.

Just testing to see if ethan went through with the self imposed thread ban.

 

[citizen-erased]

2 years.
He's our best FF option at the moment.
Daniher is a CHF and it appears Stringer and Stewart will duke it out for third unless Stringer becomes a FT onballer.

Has had a very good year. Still has patches of quietness, but i like his competitiveness and strength.

I would love nothing more than Tom Lynch at FF next year, but i won't be disappointed if it's Smack.

This will be highly unpopular, but i'd trade him at years end to a team like the Gold Coast.

He's played very well, established some value, but with JoeyD coming back, Stewart younger & likely to improve, Brown for depth, we could trade him to GC who'll be desperate for an established forward (when Lynch bails), rather than keep him and have him potentially waste away in the VFL again.

Looking forward to being told to **** right off haha.

I like him so I think keep him but it's far from a stupid idea mate. Also tie it into the previous comment and get Lynch and our first round pick wouldn't be half bad.

Trade brown instead

 

[Bombers36]

Trade brown instead

Would be good if we could trade Brown - but he has little or no currency. Brown is just a depth player - whereas SMACK does have currency and if we don’t give him 2 years another club will take him for sure. SMACK is a genuine key position forward and back up ruckman - and they don’t grow on trees

[ant555]

Looks like a major hammy as he could not move

 

[HirdyLannister]

Out for the season imo

 

[Vindicater]

So sad for him.

Finally started to look like a standard AFL footballer... Would have got paid this offseason as well (by us or another team). Sucks big time for him,

 

[jmoo wan]

finally getting continuity and playing a really valuable role, and then this. football can be such a cruel and sadistic ****er sometimes.

 

[yaco55]

At least we have a like for like replacement in Stewart - We'll lose a bit with stewart in the ruck.
