[swoop42]

Someone please buy him some shade for Christmas.

 

[Hong Kong Pie]

Great to have some Irish lads in again, adds another level of anticipation when watching how they develop and how they fit into our game.

Good luck Mark and Anton!

His nickname is Mustard

Nah just made that up.....

I'm gonna call it. From last week's viewing and today's... Mark Keane will be on our list for a few years. Good size, reasonable leap, spoils well, long kick, and reads the play well for a novice.

Definitely the pick of the two. Was really solid down back today.

Was solid last week too.

The only thing Magden has on Keane is bulk and experience operating in our defensive set up. Otherwise, I already rate Keane as the superior KPD.

Still only a kid. Will only get better next year after a full preseason.

I liked Wolfenstein or Doom too and Dad was cool and let us play Leisure Suit Larry too. We didn't get most of the jokes. Dad, what's a prophylactic?? He worked a tech job so came home with a box of the latest games on 3.5 floppies. Those were the days!

Yep I can remember the later 'Might and Magic' games coming on 4 X 3.5's and the final floppy version of Windows coming on about 9 floppies lol

Him being named as an emergency is fantastic recognition of his development this year.
Big strong lad with a bit of go and he only turned 19 in March.
Could be a smoky - Madgen better be on his game!

 

[Obese Arachnid]

I reckon this bloke can cut the mustard.

 

[Vicky Park]

From seeing Keane in his first couple of VFL games this year - to this. Fantastic effort! Surely the quickest promotion (if named as an emergency in the firsts can be considered a promotion) of any of our recent category B rookies?

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Finals debutant perhaps? Only kidding but we have a rich history with Len Thompson and Rene Kink both playing their first game in a final. I’m sure there are others but can’t find any info.

 

[Get Gaffed]

Madgen last year vs sydney is quicker.

 

[kallangur pie]

I think Keane has shown great signs almost from his 1st weeks at training was it not he that had a dust up with Tuohil within a few weeks of getting here and people were saying does not a backward step and is quite athletic and has good size.

He has been very good in the VFL for the last 6 wks or so,definitely has the prerequisite,s for the job he is only 19 and he is as good a prospect as any we have as a KPD,controlled aggression is what you want see and is a must for our game,great stuff.

Nice he’s an emergency shows how Keane we are for Keane.

At this stage our Full Back come Grand Final day

As long as he didn't cut the cheese

Re René Kink correct.

His 4th game was a final.

Only for those with ancient memories he wore 45 in that season (1973) before moving to his famous 36 the next season.
