2nds The SANFL Thread

[spexau]

We do need a key forward though

 

[spenze]

Yay.. 9 hitouts at SANFL level. A ready made replacement for Jacobs, who had 24 at AFL level on a bad day.

As a forward player 10 hit outs from limited opportunities, 11 marks and 5 goals is a great return.

Smack is Back

 

[Cap]

so do we expect that again next week?

or back to normal services?

You'd imagine normal service

 

[Ravenous Crow]

Smack Watch


12 possies, 7 marks, 2 goals 9 hitouts and on report for repeatedly punching Tambling

God bless that man

Wait, WHAT?

So... he'll probably play next week unless he's found guilty of beating up his team mate?

 

[Vader]

his kicking 5 goals is timily, but surely he doesn't get picked on 1 good in game in 2 months?

5 goals might help him build a case for replacing Walker, ahead of LJ. However, we're talking about replacing Jacobs - an optional change - with a player who is barely a backup ruckman at best and is certainly not capable of leading the ruck at AFL standard.

That would be the question, wouldn't it. One good game does not equal consistency.

McKernan's trademark is a game with all the consistency of week old porridge.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

McKernan is useless, hence I expect our selectors to pick him before LJ.

 

[Vader]

Just a thought, but do Sturt actually have a KPP defender worthy of the title? I note that both McKernan and LJ have one decent result on their CV this year (and only one) - McKernan kicked 5 against Sturt and LJ kicked 7 against them. Neither have really troubled the scorers against any other team, so this cannot be an anomaly. Should we therefore discount games played vs Sturt when deciding upon Walker's replacement.. regarding the entire competition as a nil-all draw?

 

[spenze]

To be fair, take that performance for what it is. Since leaving South he has shown improvement ( not hard I know) in each game and tonight was a performance that you would like to think be standard if he ever harbors dreams of playing AFL this season.

I don't think he'll get a call up this week as he needs to build some confidence, which I hope he got some of tonight

 

[Magma]

should be noted mckernan kicked 3 of his 5 when the game was pretty much over.

in Round 1 Ainger kicked 4
in Round 2 Johncock kicked 7 and more relevant Butcher kicked 5
in Round 3 Johnston kicked 7
in Round 4 Wundke kicked 5

and now Smack has 5

good observation Lord Vader.

That's pissweak man.

I can understand that Mckernan divides supporters but when his last three goals came when his side was challenged by a side who had kicked the last 4 goals to get within 2 kicks and Smack kicks 3 goals in 5 minutes, it is disgenuous to call it like you have.

Salient.

okay

he kicked 2 of his 5 when the game was over.

 

[Lawrst]

LJ kicked 7 against the same defence... just saying.

Ok

Last years form it is.

Lewis, come on down.

Joyce was very very impressive I thought.

Oh, please.

When McKernan has been charged with solely being a ruck man, his numbers have been good. Obviously he's been a key forward here.

I would be fine with resting Jacobs for a week and running McK and Jenkins in tandem against Hawthorn's mediocre ruck unit.

 

[Lawrst]

Where was he playing?

9 Touches and 3 goals sounds like a small forward to me?

 

[spenze]

LJ kicked 7 against the same defence... just saying.

In the dry, with calm conditons

I'm not saying this is the rebirth of Smack but it is by far the best performance he has put up in a long time and to be fair he did some very unSmack like things. I'd love to see him put those type of figures up for the next month though

Better point.

Smack and Jenkins 50/50 ruck forward.

Lets us get Lewis in there as well. Oh and Lyons. Get him in for.... anyone of Wright, Reilly, Dmac, Petrenko, Henderson.

Yeah across the forward 50 mainly. Fantastic tackling pressure and great finishing. Very promising signs I thought!

Good, think the lad could be a player, just needs time.
