Good a good feeling about this guy. Think he'll be a regular by the end of the season.

There is a fair chance he will get an opportunity as we just need an injury to either Butts & Murray v opposition with 2 big forwards.
Think there's room for him even with them 2.

Think it will be harder with Doedee, Worrell & MM... but a possibility for sure.
Yep definitely, we're flush for developing backs no doubt. Assume Doedee goes at end of year (and possibly Smith's last year), might make room for him.

So we've had our first look at Mark Keene now. Very impressive start in my opinion. He played well in the trial, took some good marks, read the play very well, and kicked with an attacking edge. I think the guy is a player. And he looks ready, physically and mentally.
So...
How does he get a game in our backline if the usual suspects are all fit?
I think Butts and Murray have serious pressure for their spots. Can we play all three? Who makes way if so?
Good problem to have but it's a real question given the player he looks to be.

Butts I thought looked more attacking yesterday, I think he’s putting pressure on Murray, I quite like him give him a month

Ok… is it time yet for this guy to play?
How has he been going in the SANFL?
I would think Worrell would be ahead of Keane once fit, would you agree? Hard to see them both come in at the moment. Depends on if Worrell picks up where he left off I guess.

Borlase is the one who has surprised me. Has definitely improved this season.
Good luck Mark .
Boy do we need you to go well and be successful not only for this game but rest of this and next season in particular

Happy to see him get a game and I think we needed to choose a bigger body
Keep the instruction simple - punch punch punch and work with your teammates to link up - take your time and make sure you hit the target

Good to hear, go well Mark
Muz’s injury damn near ruined my week as he is quite literally the one player we couldn’t afford to lose IMO, really hoping Keane is able to show enough in the next few games (assuming he’s a lock and isn’t dropped LOL) so we don’t do anything really REALLY dumb at the draft.
If we’re lucky he just might be one of those players whose game only elevates once given a chance at the highest level

I think he matches up well on Dixon. Allowing Butts to Marshall and Worrell on Finlayson. Michalanney to Powell Pepper
He is like for like with Murray in various ways. Same height (194), athletic and agile for a big man. Strongly built (96kg). Has been around and in the system for a while now (23 years of age) and so in many ways more than ready to go. We may well unearth another good one here. With Keane in the wings to cover Murray's injury, while devastating for Murray and coming at a time when he was just really elevating his game to another level, it is unlikely to be the disaster for the club it could otherwise have been without the recruiting of Keane. In fact once Murray has recovered we may come out it better off with another proven, good key back in our quiver. I am glad he is selected and that we have a chance to see what he has on the big stage.Good to hear, go well Mark

I hope we clarify this part, he is an Irishman after all
He won't have to run far if the vision of Dickson by the end of last week's game is anything to go off, if he does start to get off the lease a quick knee to the back of his knee should sort him out.

It's crazy that they keep playing him when they should be trying to get him right for finals.
