+1 esp with what looked like a sore leg. love his marking and ability to make a contest
SMACK will be nervous
Yeah agree with his ruck work not being as good as it needs to be but you would think that will come with time. At the moment I'd have Jenkins slightly ahead of McKernan which would be a worry for him. If McKernan wants a regular spot in the next couple of years he's going to have to lift his game.

Thought exactly the same .....his ruckwork was ave
But around the ground he was great ....fast, agressive, and a bigman who thinks
Fitness i'd suggest caught up with him in the 2nd half
But yes Smack beware ! .....reckon he could hold any KP down at a pinch
Could also make a good FB

That tap to stiffy was spectacular! when stiff kicked thg goal, i turned to my sister and told her that stiff may have kicked it but it was jjs goal.
like i said before, i believe there was something up with his leg, it looked like it was strapped and he seemed to be limping. right leg.

Great Debut. Said to the Mrs that McKernan might struggle to get back in next week. Was very useful up forward.
Yeah, it was a good debut. Presents a bit of a headache. Smack should really be cementing his place now. I suspect he's the kind of guy who will develop best with a greater sense of belonging and succession of regular games. Not sure he's the sort to thrive on 'healthy competition' for his spot. If Jenkins wins the place, it wouldn't surprise me to see Smack wither.
I loved the confidence he showed every time he was in a contest.
Prepared to take the game on - impressive for a first-gamer

Great debut for Leeeeroy! Some fantastic contested marks and got a goal with his first kick.
Should retain his spot I would say.

I did say in my "Bass thinks Tippett is overated thread last week" that we could play Jenkins in the Tippett role and he would come much cheaper than Tippett. Actually think if left as a forward Jenkins could be better than Tippett. Solid lad and nice kick. Seems quicker than Tipp but also has his athleticism
He is huge.

Simple solution to his average ruck work...
Don't ruck him but put Tips in when Sauce wants a rest

Great debut, but I think everyone is writing off smack pretty quickly
He was dire against GWS but had a really good game against port in the showdown and a solid game last week.

Agree with this. JJ had 3 highlight reel moments - the tackle, the goal and the tap to Stiffy. However, that's pretty much where his involvement with the game ended. I'm not a fan of McKernan's, but I have to think that he'd be more involved with the game overall.
That said.. I'd prefer to see JJ listed on the team sheet next week, ahead of McKernan.

Hope the kid can make it, simply for his nickname.

LEEEEEEEEERRRRROOOYYYYYY is here to stay
Disagree, Vader. Leroy had two great clunking marks early in the piece and did heaps of work off the ball. I agree with CroCop's assessment that he may well prove a better forward than Tippett.
