Player Watch #10: Colby McKercher - R9 AFL RS nom - progressing slowly in return to AFL after bone stress injury in foot

[DEVO]

All the best in your first game, Colby, may it be the first of 250+ in the Royal Blue and White.

Would it be too much to ask if you could replicate the Sheezel's debut from last season.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Rising star nom this week calling it early

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Go hard Colby Cheese

 

[gustaaf]

Giving Mum and Dad the good news:

 

[Mr north man]

Gold Luck Colby
All the best to you for this week hopefully you will play 300+ games for North.

 

[The Warlord]

Second coming of Schwatta

 

[ChopChopDigDig]

Giving Mum and Dad the good news:

These calls are just about my fav part of the offseason

 

[Heaps of fun]

These calls are just about my fav part of the offseason

Wait until we start winning again.

 

[KillaKanga]

These calls are just about my fav part of the offseason

No idea why but genuinely get choked up every time.

I've got 2 sons and they're not getting drafted but I can put myself in the parents spot of being so damn proud of an accomplishment I can feel how they'd be feeling.

 

[Kanga Glory]

Has confidence but not cocky

I want to say MM that every year, well I should clarify that with every player debut that comes a long at North I absolutely love and look forward to these posts. A real tradition now and love some of the names from the past that your posts throw up.

There are some absolute champions of the club on that list MM.

Also apart from previous Colby's playing for the club, every group has at least one premiership player in it. That's gotta be an omen. LOL

 

[muttley45]

Should be a commentator's fave, have a good one Colby.

 

[Hojuman]

We'll get four years of Tassie should target this bloke as their first captain.

I don’t recognize the name that sits between Cunnington and Stevens.

 

[leighlee13]

I don’t recognize the name that sits between Cunnington and Stevens.

I am not sure if you are being sarcastic or not but every time I see Jesse's name I feel sad for what he could have been. The 2007 Semi Final against Hawthorn was a joy to be at and watch.

He's definitely being sarcastic

 

[koshari]

cool as a cucumber at the level.

 

[Disco Dew]

Great first game, didnt look out of place at all

 

[William Caresser]

Very classy and quick and should be moved into the midfield (which as we all know, is where he''s played all his footy). The reality is that our midfield desperately needs an injection of class despite the high profile names.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Showed plenty and hit some really nice kicks off the left! Hopefully a confidence building game that shows he belongs at AFL level.

Be a good shot at getting the rising star nom too.

22 disposals (86% DE) 18 kicks, 8 marks, 2 tackles, 6 score involvements, 478m gained.

You’d think it would be enough, but Reid will probably get it with 12, 9, 4, 1, 1 and 169

 

[r_boy]

It felt like he was playing a bit of a 'role' but he still looked excellent when he had it and had 22 touches.

The more confidence he has to demand the ball and the more we utilize him the better we will look in offense.

That was a quarter of the damage he can do.

 

[Sphynx]

I’m not sure we can afford to leave him down there for any longer than 10-15 weeks.

He would have made a massive difference today around the ball imo.

We need to be flexible with his development, with quick hard running sides he needs to help out imo
