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

[JayDon]

Smack and Jakey were fired up tonight.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

This ******* guy

 

[vast]

Lord Smackdown

 

[Stopher]

Credit to him for his persistence.

 

[TheFrenchCut]

Of course. It all makes sense now.

 

[Runk]

MY BOY!!!

 

[naraku]

Great game today from King Smack!

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Great game but he does need to stop giving away unnecessary frees...that part is very frustrating at times.

 

[Darealrath]

Hope his ribs are ok!!!???

It'd just be his bloody luck.

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

from the first mark he took you could tell he was on tonight. Hope that he can continue to improve the distance between his good and bad games.

Plays angry, it’s when he’s at his best. Some players need that intensity.

Agree it can hurt us but if it comes wrapped in a game like tonight, you take it.

McKernan has finally found his feet in the AFL. Well, he found it a year or so ago when we dispensed with the stupid ruck thing and played him as a key forward. Hopefully he stays fit because he’s a very capable AFL key forward when he does. Has a bit of forward craft, aggressive and attacks the ball, is a good mark and a pretty good kick.

Huge fan. And I love the big 44. TBell should’ve stuck with it.

It’s really not the case any more. He’s pretty bloody consistent when fit.

IMO, that's goal of the year.

 

[BrunoV]

Massive respect to a guy that has continued to improve his game.

His footy in the last two years has been top notch.

Fitting that he's capped that off as a match winner on a pretty bad night on the eve of finals.

Heart is in mouth until he gets the all clear as a performance as good as that is almost always followed by injury.

 

[Kyptastic]

IMO, that's goal of the year.

There was about 4 goals last night that could be goal of the year contenders, but with Rioli's, Heeney's and Naughton's there's likely going to be none nominated.

 

[Zach Package]

Love him, but he’s an odd cat.

Despite being a journeyman who’s taken the long way round he does things very few others can.

If you just saw him jump off both feet, clunk and then lands like a cat and gallop off to either bullet a target up field or launch a goal from 50 you’d think he was an All Australian spearhead and star of the competition.

if he starts flicking his tongue there'll be some questions to ask

100%

I remember when we first recruited him, there was a highlights video in which he looked like a star.

The temptation was always to wonder "what if?"

Granted we have been very patient with him and injury through 2016 almost ruined his career but he's there.

 

[citizen-erased]

Did like the 50 he gave when he jumped on Miles after doing the selwood shrug.
Needs to lead more with the knee into his skull, but no ones perfect.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Such a joy to watch.

The signs were there early

 

[Howard Moon]

was reading he has a Canadian girlfriend who has introduced him to snow boarding - and hes hooked on it

knowing smack he could bust legs!

That right there, is why he's my boy. MINE!
