The boy that could fly

Shaun McKernan has a pretty awesome mullet for a 196cm player
Good to see he has embraced the Adelaide way of life.

Haha yeah good one

But he doesn't have a mullet.

Shaun McKernan has a pretty awesome leap for a 196cm player.

He'll be in a North jumper soon enough.

 

[Greystache]

You should have seen how high he jumped when he learned he wouldn't be going to the Bulldogs!

Though apparentley he didn't endear himself to the Dogs because he trained a few times there after being a North and kept asking how it was that a team could be in the comp for 85 years and only have ever won a premiership once, and even then, that being over half a century ago.

He also wondered why North Melbourne used the same construction company as the Flemington council flats to build their training facilities, and how a team could be in the league for 85 years and make no renovations. Then hen realised North finished at the bottom of the ladder and he was going to end up there, so instead he found an empty bus shelter (a bit more luxurious than North’s home ground) and had a quiet cry about the cruel system that is the draft.

Google translate failed to translate this into English for me, anyone want to give it a stab?

Something about how they've had 2 lots of priority picks and we're still trying to win our first. Oh and some fluff about all their grand final appearances since 1961.

 

[hilly]

And Sam Jacobs would have more ruck smarts.

Why do you Carlton flogs always have to compare a player to someone on your list?

BTW, saw Gary Ablett at a press conference yesterday. Reminded me of Jordan Russell.

Yeah well they would have definitely beaten Geelong if they'd capitalised on their 137 I50 entries against St Kilda

 

[Bigeasy]

Didn't tick a box for Carlton then...

Ayce Cordy would smash him if they played him in the ruck.

And Sam Jacobs would have more ruck smarts.

Didn't tick a box? Is that the box where you have an option to be paid via a brown paper bag or under a table. I think the guy was confused.

And Jacobs? Oh please he would stuggle to get a game at Melbourne

 

[conodie05]

Yeah I reckon

10 seconds flat is probably a slight exaggeration but wouldn't be far off:

He is going to be a superstar in a year or so - his rate of development is like a bell-curve gone crazy. Fantastic role-model for the North-Western suburbs community, too.

If it's a bell curve you'd better hope it's a wide one...

From that looks like he ran the 100 in just over 11 seconds. Still pretty good.

Should have recruited the guy behind him who made up some ground on him.

LOL. 1954. Priority picks. Sponsored by a tortilla manufacturer. Abandoned your name. Had to suck up to Howard to get your ground redeveloped. Gouge your own community with pokies. LOL. Where once good interstate players go to pick up a final pay cheque.LOL. Take more off the AFL than us. LOL.

 

[Silvagnis]

I love it when North use a rookie pick on a player out of the norm.

Whether it is an Irish guy who has never player the game, a 212cm centre monster who seems to big to play the game, a 170cm speedster who seems to small to play the game or Sudanese freak athlete who still doesn't know what he is doing...

...every club should use a rookie pick on a player that doesn't have the score on the board, but has one potential upside that it is absolutely worth seeing what will happen if you chuck them into an AFL environment.

There really is very little to lose.

We drafted another redhead.

Redheads are approaching extinction.

Beat that.

I would have said he was Eddie Betts' double.

Your club actively tried to merge and were shattered when they couldn't

Indeed. Would have been a good deal too. We would have taken over Fitzroy.

I remember when Fitzroy was going to take YOU over. LOL.

 

[Renuo]

He got into the wrong sport, he should have gone for basketball - especially for the money.

Mind you I like AFL even more so I'd rather keep him here to see him in the real mans game.

 

[Seadog]

I'm surprised the eagles didn't pick him up with #2.

Would have been a little difficult seeing as their first pick was at 7.
I totally understand why you've wiped last year from your memory bank.

This pages needs more Smack!

A billion dollar company and sole supplier to McDonalds and KFC world wide. Do North Melbourne, or is the Kangaroos, or is it back to North Melbourne (hard to keep up with the name change every couple of years) even have a sponsor?

Seriously you couldn't move irrelevant if you tried.
