Its not far off leather poisoning is it.

****.

 

[Farthers]

I'd imagine we won't risk him for the Port game, plus the bye the week after to fully recover?

 

[sheridan]

speaks very well.
we are in goods hands with him and sheez in particular, as frustrating as it is atm.
give him all the time he needs to properly recover, not going to change much now.

 

[gokangas]

This is north Melbourne, he will most likely end up with his foot amputated.

We can just change his name to 'Stumpy' McKercher.

Nah he will be renamed Kolby 2-3 weeks McKercher

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Non-committal on how many years he'd like to be at the club in his interview - delist.

Kidding, kid is a jet and a great personality it seems.

Really can footy. Congrats Kerch!

 

[dus]

Oh FFS.

The one shining light we have has been given the dreaded 2 weeks.

 

[Jeremy Jordan]

Will perch himself up in the corner at a local near Arden st, telling tall tales of his rising star nomination to anybody who will listen.
“It was 65 degrees that night, with air so thick you couldn’t breathe. I looked in my teammates eyes, and fear looked back at me. 32 possessions with a broken foot, doctors still claim it was a medical miracle I was able to walk, let alone go at 80 percent by foot”

[Hearts to hearts]

I’m very glad they got this nomination through and didn’t wait.

 

[RHLK]

We really can't take a trick.

Bergs come on down.

 

[KillaKanga]

Calm the f@# down everyone.

They've brought in Dr Nick. 2 weeks max

 

[ChairmanZia]

Hopefully we get both whitlock brothers.

If we finish last, we take smilie. If we get pick 2, we get trainor.

Whatever Slobbo rambles on about, you can be sure absolutely none of it will occur...

To be fair I've been surprised we don't have a contract extension in place yet.

Fairly sure Sheezel/Wardlaw did by the corresponding stage though am aware 1st round deals are now 3 years.

 

[hilly]

People are aware the Tassie team can also target non-Tasmanians?

Hasn't Colby also said words to the effect of **** Tassie, I love Melbourne

I thought there was something in that deal that meant they were prevented from signing extensions until part-way through their first season?

Didn't know that.

In the Harley Reid interview last night they asked him about contract extension.......unsure if that's correct big_e

Ah yeah, perhaps it was just a "there's no rush to sign". Ethan Read was the first top 20 pick to extend beyond the three years, and that was only a week or two ago.
