He is always going to be caught between two positions .Are they depicted in the Karma Sutra?
From the comments I've heard about Josh Green, he has the exactly the same issues as McKernan in terms of mental application. He also lacks pace, which I would have thought was important for a small forward...Josh green is very quick
Yeah, he has faults but his pace isnāt one of them.I like when people comment on players they havenāt watched more than a couple of times and show they have nfi.
I actually have seen him play and he doesnāt look slow, although I havenāt seen much of him. That is why I have been reading Brisbane supporters thoughts on him over the last season and one of their issues is his lack of defensive pressure and that he lacks pace. But hey I guess you know best right?
Well Iād back my eyes over some random Brisbane tool on the Internet.
Having said that as someone pointed out injury affected him this year, but we wouldnāt be picking him up based on this year weād be hoping he can get back to his speedy best.
I can't believe those complaining. This is a brilliant move by EFC.By placing delisting McKernan it allows three things:
Frees up a permanent spot on the list to recruit a DFA or kid in the ND
Gives us ruck cover if we donāt find a ruck in the ND
Stick a rocket up McKernan to work on the āthingsā heās been asked to work on until the rookie draft
If we somehow got English at our rd 2 pick and still had picks 29, 41 and possibly another in the ND, then we wouldnāt bother with McKernan at all. If we donāt get a ruck in the ND, then we will need McKernan as cover which a rookie pick (our very last selection) would make it worthwhile.
Was anyone shattered we took Gach Nyoun in the rookie draft or did they complain about missing out on anyone?
And I am shattered we took Gach in the rookie draft because it seems apparent we donāt have the capacity to develop a raw ruckman still learning the game, so I donāt know why we bothered trying to.
Shattered? Seriously?
Iām shattered if someone in my family dies, no where near shattered if my club picks a player that doesnāt work out.
Get some perspective in your life
Get some perspective yourself, and leave some room for artistic licence.
Just reflecting Fogās term used in his post which was basically asking if anyone was disappointed in taking Gach in the rookie draft.
I did invest in Gachās journey and what it meant to him, his family and his community, having talked to him and read up on him.
Without any major evidence besides the Uber incident regarding his not following expected discipline, my take is we didnāt have the right support and opportunities available to make it reasonably possible for him to succeed. This is going by what Ego said at the end of the year, and the reality of having up to 3 rucks ahead of him in the VFL side.
If you canāt indulge in a little hyperbole on Blitz I would think most of us shouldnāt be here.
Greene has decent pace but was slow this year due to being overweight and unfit.
It is well known that Josh Green ālacks defensive pressureā . Is that because he cannot apply it, or because he doesnt bother? If its the latter there is hope because even he admits it is something he needs to work on.

The AFL Prospectus 2016:
āHis defensive pressure remained a feature of his game, ranking in the top 10 players in the AFL for forward 50 pressure points in each of the last two seasons.ā
LOL
Just teach him how to ruck without giving away free kicks and he could be serviceable in that department.
Iāve read thereās better ruck talent in next years draft, so I suspect that the club will wait until then to pick up our next developing ruck man.
And I donāt think anyone sees Smack as a player who is close to breaking into the team, so putting him on the rookie list is a sensible move IMHO. Heās at least good insurance in case of a LTI in our ruck department.
Heāll work.
I hope a miracle happens and another team picks Smack. As for Eades. Iām over him.

Smack reminds me of the New Zealand test cricketer of the early seventies, Bob Cunis. Neither one thing nor the other.

Crisp. Very crisp.

Test Match Special commentator Alan Gibson once commented, āThis is Cunis at the Vauxhall End. Cunis, a funny sort of name: neither one thing nor the other.ā However, according to his Wisden obituary, the witticism was probably first coined by Alan Ross in a report in The Observer of the New Zealandersā match against Sussex in 1969.
Checking out Smack news, I certainly was not expecting a discussion of NZ cricketers vs Sussex in the '60s.
Who says Blitz does not have the most erudite of correspondents?
The Full Forward and the Centre Half Back are in my version.He is always going to be caught between two positions .Are they depicted in the Karma Sutra?

Smashes it on the rookie list. Should serve out his career as a rookie
