Past #23: Ben McKay - gone to * as RFA - NMFC awarded Band 1 pick #3 compo

[Psicosis]

Looks super raw, but has all the attributes to be a very good player. He and Durdin are massive to our future success.

 

[koshari]

McKay could be our new Nathan Thompson


Going to be awkward for McKay when we rookie Harper today.

Has a bit in commo with Durdin.

Both

• 198+
• Have a twin brother
• Country kids
• People have differing opinions on what's their best postion
• Can play forward, back or in the ruck
• Good contested marks
• Have mongerel in them and don't mine it physical

Hopefully we have one at each end of the field.

How about the hands?!

Geez he hits the ball well. Doesn't look the best skilled, but has great hands.

I like Durdin too, check my views as he moves very well, but he seems more a Petrie type than physical type like this guy. (off just the vision I've seen, not pretending to know otherwise)

The two of them (fingers and toes crossed) stay fit without all the injury issues could be very handy players and work well together - especially knowing we already have Brown who is already a very good fwd with upside to come when 100% fit and pre-season IMO.

His back leg is level with the testers shin. Based on that I think he can only get 30cms off the ground.

Here's a hint: See those blue stick thingies attached to the pole...Guess what they're used for?

He made comments on a couple of others which I will post in their own thread

I've been looking for those posts

Just had a look at the club website and in one of the Utah videos he isn't there when the draftees are introduced to the players. Anyone know if he went over or not? If he didn't has the club given a reason?

most likely because he doesn't have passport or that its not up to date.

It's a pity, that we couldn't organise that quickly within a week. The draft was a week ago tomorrow.

In saying that, he could potentially still be flying over on a separate flight.

Would take longer than that to go from having no passport to being permitted entry into the US I'd say.

It takes about 3 weeks to get a passport. 1 if you pay ridiculous fees for a rush order and then you're at the mercy of Aus Post to deliver.

 

[Bigeasy]

You can get a passport within 24 hours, however a visa is a bit more than trickier

Can't be that hard, the other newbies got their visas pretty quick...

Or.

They had them already.

So wait they knew that North were going to draft them and organised a visa for the dates that were required. That's amazing, forward thinkers our draftees.

Ive been to the US many times albeit not recently and I never needed a visa.

You need an esta, which can be done over the net with in as little as 24 hours. I can't remember off the top of my head but I think your passport needs to be at least six weeks old thou.

 

[Roo Beauty]

Found him. And Farren too.

 

[Lavy_Panther]

ESTA is literally the easiest thing to get. Doesn't take 24 hours. You fill out an online questionnaire and it's instantaneous, provided you have a passport, of course.

 

[NoWozzas]

I'm a bit of a fan of this kid already. Thanks for the photo! Good to see the boys are back! Glad he's there with Drewie for mentoring reasons!

 

[astrovic]

I hope when Boomer introduced himself to Ben, he did it by saying "Hi, I'm Brent Harvey. You may remember me from such North Melbourne games as ALL OF THEM DURING YOUR ENTIRE LIFETIME."

 

[boneofshin]

Big lad. Could be a monster once he hits the gym.
