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

[carnthedons]

Playing 1 solid game in the AFL is enough to get you another year on the list?

Worked with Ricky Dyson for a while

 

[srobbo]

He hangs on by skin of his teeth. Would speculate that in our stronger side he may thrive next year & the fact rucks are hard to find straight up doesn't make it cut & dry to offload him. Confidence in TBC isnt exactly brimming either.

 

[bomberman500]

I'd say he keeps his spot on the list as a 3rd ruckman, important considering the injury history of Leuenberger and TBC.
Wouldnt expect him to play many AFL games but adds certain depth

 

[CourtzMajora]

He has had his chances this year, yet he didn't make the most of his opportunities and I honestly think he should be delisted.

If he couldn't hold a consistent spot in our team this year what hope does he have next season?

 

[Runk]

Reckon he'll go

I agree that he probably should be delisted but the question is the same as when we he was selected in the rookie draft a few years ago. Is there a better third string Ruckman out there? He is kinda like the Moises Henriques of the Essendon list, can sort of ruck and can sort of play forward but does neither all that well.

Moses Henriques? Try Clive Rose.

When assessing need to keep in mind his 2015 form, his 2016 injuries and also that we'd need to find a 3rd string ruckman anyway. No point delisting him if you're going to make up a spud to replace him - fills a need for mine

Tend to agree, unless we are looking at another mature ruck he provides back up.

Ricky Dyson deserved another year for his goal from the boundary Anzac Day 2009 lol

Tbf, Clive is still pretty young.

 

[Bombermania]

Keep but Woosha should sit him down and basically make it clear that he needs to step up next season if he wants to remain on the list.

 

[DHepp21]

Leaning towards letting him stay but still around 60-40. Would like to see how he does in the VFL finals.

Leroy Jetta used to do it about round 20 every contract year.

I'm shocked every time he bowls a ball and it doesn't go for 6

He's got a long way to go yes, but he can still turn out to be a handy player.

Keep - not sure we would find a better mature ruck/forward back up if delisted. Happy to retain as depth.

eth-dog's love child Darcy Cameron a chance for the gig?

If we can't find a better player in that role we're struggling. He's played less than 50 games as a 26 year old.

Because I rate a player means he's my love child? Get a grip

 

[yaco55]

Apparently had/will have a shoulder operation and will miss VFL finals - This suggests he may stay on the list.

Not looking for him to become best 22, he's just depth and can cover forward and ruck which gives some balance to the list.

It's a question of opportunity cost - I'd personally rather keep him and look to upgrade other parts of our list where the need is more pressing.

 

[Snake Charmer]

Not a bad thing anyway. Reckon a few clubs will be after him..


Don't think he is as good as Smack at this stage. Cameron would be givin a couple of years to develop. Smacks a good option for next year. If things go well with TBC and Luey he won't play a game

You love him.

And will what VFL finals..."miss" I assume?
