Player Watch Mark Keane (Retired 2022)

[AmericanMustard]

Yep. No good

 

[Kappa]

He deserves an extended run but he doesn't appear to have many tools

Not a great leap, a little too short, not particularly strong or fast, doesn't read the ball particularly well.

 

[AndrewShawble]

He’s an Irish project player but the expectations on him are too great.

That’s what happens when Hine has neglected KPP since the 2006 draft when he got Nate Brown/Ben Reid

He keeps picking mid size utilities with no weapons. It’s bloody lucky we got Roughead for nothing from the Dogs to fill the FB spot. Before that it was Dunn!!!

 

[ClaytonM]

He clearly isn’t up to player on seasons pros like Kennedy and Darling. Whether there is another role for him don’t know, but it isn’t as a KPD any time soon.

‘You have to question the stupidity of picking this game against such a big experience team to drop Cox and play Moore forward. It was always likely to end in tears. Yes it worked In the first quarter but what were the chances Grundy would kick 2. Was never likely to last 4 quarters. Howe going down didn’t help but it was not the main factor.

The Selection Committee is doing my head in.

 

[danielnajdek]

Still keen.

Nasty business trying to earn your stripes as a key defender, especially without Darcy Moore and Jeremy Howe alongside you in a West Coast offence.

It took time for Madgen to win our hearts...let's be patient with the awkward looking Irish fellow.

Madgen hasn’t won my heart. He’s a plodder and the fact he is a guaranteed selection says more about the list.

 

[Scratchy05]

He has been the best of our key defenders tonight. In saying that, it really wasn't hard to be the best tonight with Magden and ROughead both playing abysmally.

Best defender? I think he’s had 8 kicked on him.

He seems to know less about footy than Mason Cox, that’s pretty impressive.

 

[Shade]

Seriously just play him the rest of the year who cares the seasons is in tatters might aswell put a block of games together and see if hes worth keeping around

 

[Johno9911]

Yeah he had a few kicked on him but he’s a second game kid. He’s against a seasoned forward line and the way they could walk it inside 50 tonight, we could’ve had a prime Presti down there and the result wouldn’t of changed too much.

If they want to persist with Moore forward, leave Keane down back for the season and make a call when he’s played 15 odd games.

Wtf have you been watching? He's been absolutely spanked from the 1st minute to the end

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

There is no shame in retiring and going back to Ireland

alongside you in a West Coast offence.

No way Magden has “won our heart”. Surely you jest!

The guy is a plodder, but probably suits Bucks game plan

[AndrewShawble]

He better come good because there isn’t much waiting in the wings.

List management have left us nothing in the way of developing talls.

 

[Scratchy05]

Wtf have you been watching? He's been absolutely spanked from the 1st minute to the end

Did you watch Magden and Roughead? WOuld much rather stick with him then have to bother with a 28 year old magden who isn't getting any better whereas Keane may

 

[Mkcaptain]

Has no urgency ... just seems to have no agro which is strange for an Irishman

One thing I can assure you of is that he does have a fiery temperament. Plenty of agro from him as an 18 year old in the VFL

 

[ClaytonM]

I think we should stick with him for a while. This was a ridiculous game to bring him in as a KDP and play Moore forward. With Kennedy, Darling and Allen it was not like Keane was getting a bog average third tall. We have not done him any favours in the two games we have picked him.

 

[Rorzza]

I thought he has improved and his kicking has definitely improved. Unfortunately, CFC's midfield let him and the other defenders down in the second quarter.​

It's called the Appleby Method.

Yep, not sure anyone could have stopped the West Coast talls that quarter

 

[Seedsfan]

Remember Moore had 7 kicked on him this game last year

Yeah but he got 7 on him last time we played them in the home and away season

He should've been tried down there, he completely changes the dynamic as now the forwards actually have to worry about a defender out marking them.

Still got beaten in his only contest down back. Keane did fine

Do you go out of your way to be contrary?

Nothing about Keane’s game was “fine” tonight. That said, it was a Hail Mary selection by Bucks to try and buy some flexibility. Would like to see Keane against a side that doesn’t have talls as lethal as Allen, Darling and Kennedy because the kid definitely has attributes but looks like he’s a big time confidence player and throwing him to the wolves doesn’t do a lot for that
