Polo ruins the photo.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Get him in a bloody playing top

 

[Roo Beauty]

On an non-related note, if we had have kept Loose, we'd have the most Mc/Mac's in the comp!

McKay, McKenzie, McDonald, McMahon and Macmillan.

looks like he's got some sort of hill billy overalls on that still allows him to get into the members area of Adelaide Oval

 

[muttley45]

Decent sized mitts, no wonder he is called Buckets

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

That's a ******* disgusting shirt.

 

[TheBuzz]

Aside from the one who's 26?

Who is that?

Even though the club has already said they'll be building him to be the next Petrie, and in every pre-draft video he referred to himself as a forward?

He'll play where he's told, but if the club has declared he's penciled in for the forward line, who am i to disagree. Just know that the he played half his TAC season in defence & is as solidly built as kids come, read the pre-draft reviews again you'll find he can play both ends.

I never said he couldn't play both ends, just relaying what the club and Ben himself have said. From the very little vision I've seen, I'd prefer Durdin back and McKay forward. But that's just my opinion, I'm sure the club knows what they're doing.

I'm sure they do know better than me for sure. I just see the full back spot our biggest gap at the moment, Someone who can go toe to toe with the Hawkins & Clokes of the world. Durdin is a bit of a beanpole, I see him more as a CHB. I got a bit excited about McKay's size & I just assumed theyd be recruiting in some capacity for that full back position.

We just signed that guy for 4 years, his name is Robbie Tarrant. Kept Cloke and Hawkins to 1 goal every time we played them last year.

Not convinced he is the answer. Hope I'm wrong.

I’d only seen it on the other thread where it was the disembodied version from the online shop. Looks worse on an actual person. I actually like this player less now that I have seen him in it. God help me if I saw a player I already didn’t like in it.

 

[ArjenTheGreat]

Highlights look pretty bloody good.

Left foot goal was niiiice.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Looks like he has a good bit of **** about him.

Sam Gibson wears Polo Shirt to family day.
Sam Gibson brutally assualted.
Defendant claims self defense - the shirt assualted my senses first.

So we still have equal most with...?

 

[GS WARRIORS]

This does seem to be the pic from 'left field'. Most of the reviews don't rate McKay anywhere near top 20. Let's hope this is one of those inspired choices that uncovers a superstar. I trust the club to get this right.

Emma rated him @18.
Cullam @24.
Brett @ 17.
Champion Data not in their 30 but never was Harry.

 

[Twinkletoes]

That's a ******* disgusting shirt.

My eyes hurt seeing that offensive crap on our gear. Welcome aboard anyway Ben.

 

[shinboner magic]

It will be the Ben show in our forward line in a couple of years.

 

[Mazda]

This guy shouldnt have been ours considering Hawthorn took our first draft pick.So happy we got him

 

[Steele7]

Will be No 1 Key Forward in the league by 2020.

 

[tiltraise]

Dont think this option has been discussed however it is possible he could develop into a R1 option down the track.

Has done some growing over the past months and at his age its possible this may continue.

If he can get to 202cms with his frame + aggression he could turn into a Mumford type ruck option with scope to rest forward.

 

[TwentyNine]

Not convinced he is the answer. Hope I'm wrong.

If this year didn't convince you what could?

 

[numchuks]

Shocking mop of hair on him.

Hopefully Kangalotto sees too it.
