VFL Past #65: Shaun McKernan 🐴 - Returns to the Dons

[Old Campaigner]

Well then ask literally all the Fox commentators, and all the channel 7 commentators tonight. They all said the exact. Same. Thng.

Having a poor game doesn't mean he is s**t. If the midfield is getting smashed he's not going to get as much of the ball and when it does the entries into the forward half are more likely to be rushed and off target. Same goes for all forwards. Our midfield gains ascendancy and suddenly all our forwards are kicking heaps of goals and looking like stars.

McKernan was outclassed in round one, solid in round two and very good in round three.

Just cop it eth-dog you've put your neck on the line for bagging him, it was always bound to come full circle when he played a good game.

 

[jmoo wan]

happy for him to be our FF until Daniher can learn the craft.

And I said he played an excellent game tonight. People seem to struggle to realize I said that. Hell, I gave him votes ffs!

 

[eDPS]

Both loved and hated his game, the moment he handpassed to one of our running players with a player hot on his heels and decided to just stand there pissed me off to no end but when we needed a taller target he was clutch.

Will always except him for what he is, an enigma.

People want rainbows and pots of gold at the end of the rainbow. Don't worry about it, ignore them and move on

**** me dead, he was shocking last week. Basically every commentator tonight has said that his first two games were shocking. Credit to him, he played well tonight but don't pretend that he wasn't s**t last week.

He wasn’t the slightest bit s**t last week, anyone who says so is clueless. He’s a key forward. What do you want from him? To take over a game where we couldn’t win clearances and get any clean forward entries? He provided more movement than anybody in the forward line and took four contested marks, more than anyone else on the ground (other than than Francis, who also took 4).

What a completely ridiculous take on his game from last week.

Predictably, he followed it up tonight.

Nah he's s**t. Do you know how many times he's been goalless in his career?

 

[VelvetSledge]

This aged well and for once I don't say that to be a sarcastic arse.

It is very very rare that I'm accurate so I'll milk this dry

Milk the lot mate I’m sure you will have a better time with your game preview next week where you can finally get back on the positive way which is the best VelvetSledge way

 

[TheFrenchCut]

An absolute stallion.

In the top three funnest players to watch for us, easy.

That's like, deep man.

 

[fairbump_playon]

Others might be the heart and soul but Smack is always the entertainment one way or another.

 

[Hird05]

Reckon he's better than Brown easy. Second half of last year was good. Still think he can improve consistency. I'd always have him as the second tall. Like

Exactly right

 

[Kakkle]

Gee this bloke shits me to tears..

Plays like Wayne Carey one week, plays like (s**t) Lance Whitnall) the next.

Mate put some respect on Whitnall's name! Kicked 190 goals in his 4 seasons, before dropping completely off.

 

[Legend Lucas]

David King just said on fox that mckernan tore his hamstring in the second quarter and played out the game with it.

6-7 Weeks on the sidelines...

 

[mad_monkey_j]

Spewing. Looks good and injures himself again.

 

[Hamez]

Same hamstring as last year?

 

[Bunk Moreland]

OH YOU HAVE GOT TO BE ******* KIDDING

 

[VelvetSledge]

Every time he plays a blinder he pings a string.

F*** this earth, get me off this ride I hate it

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

I'm just amazed he played out the game with an injury of that nature, not to mention to play as well as he did.
