Granted McKernan has not proven much of anything yet but at 22 he's two years younger than Hawkins, who looked about as bad 2 years ago. Bock was another who looked shithouse until he'd played 50 games.

Its still too early to say one way or another if he'll make it.

Whether he'll make it or not is a different debate. I have my doubts about his mental fragility, not his talent. Could go either way at this stage.

I was PMSL at the suggestion that he could become a "big power forward", better than KT (and a list of failed KPP forwards we've tried over the years). As I see it, McKernan's ceiling is closer to the Mark Stevens/Matt Robran range than it is to the KT/Walker range.

So you say he has talent and he could possibly make it. But he can't be a big power forward? :confused:

I disagree. He's much cleaner with his hands and better in traffic than either of those two. He's a very good kick at goal. What he lacks more than anything is confidence in a marking contest. Given consistent opportunity he could still be anything.

Sorry.. I'm catching up on the last 3 weeks of posting, but I couldn't go past this one without commenting.

In what universe is/was Robran a better footballer than KT? That's one of the funniest things I've read in a long time. Robran's best ever season (1997) netted him a grand total of just 24 goals. Even his miraculous 6 goal haul in the 1998 PF only took his tally for that season to 22 goals for the year. Tippett has kicked a minimum of 31 goals every year, except for his debut season. Tippett averages 1.8 goals to Robran's 0.8. Robran isn't/wasn't fit to tie Tippett's shoelaces.

Then there's the pearler about McKernan. Anyone who suggests that he "could become that big power forward" is ready to have the men in white coats come and take them away to the funny farm, locked up in a straight jacket for their own safety. I was almost PMSL when I read that particular line.

I actually said "in every respect except physicality" ... which is a fairly big part of AFL.

As far as McKernan is concerned ... me and Matt Rendell will beg to differ.

Where the hell did these Sydney trolls come from?

Must be a tag-teaming thing :thumbsdown: !

They have some sort of collective consciousness thing going. Its quite strange.
One of the other trolls suggested it was to our detriment that we had different opinions on the topic of KT.
They all seem to instinctively know when to troll and when to scurry back under their bridge.

Robran was never a goal kicking CHF....

I'm just checking to see if Tippet ever played with a A Modra or not........

In terms of football talent Robran>Tippet by so far it isn't funny.

Lets not forget, Robran never played at full ability after breaking his leg.

Reality is that Sydney posters have been trolling our board for 2 days now. Mods asleep at the wheel.

Opposition supporters are allowed to disagree with Adelaide supporters, and express it, without it being trolling. I assure you, we're keeping an eye on proceedings. I find it somewhat amusing that Sydney posters think that the Adelaide moderators are trigger happy, and Adelaide posters think that the Sydney moderators are trigger happy, and yet on both sides there are calls of "where are the mods?!" I think, collectively, we all need to take a step back and recognise that it's okay to disagree with each other, even on our own team boards. It doesn't have to devolve into flaming.


That said, Shotties - you've made your thoughts on jenny's claims very clear. She's made her stance just as clear. Time to leave it alone, now and into the future.

Gimme a break... Yeah Im on the string with Tippet as much as any, but I just cant understand this comparison to freaking Robran of all people.
Were you guys still so enamoured with your new team back then to believe this guy was actually any good? I watched him from juniors at Norwood, and even then I could see his propensity to head duck and listen for footsteps was far greater then to cop a wrap on the back of his knuckles from a spoiling backman. Being a big fan of Baz, this would shit me no end. He was big, slow and soft, but could kick.Sure he had some pretty skills, but in my opinion he will go down as one of the softest pretty boys to don the Jumper.
No comparison to what Tippets done so far surrounded by a far softer unit than Robran ever was.

Christ, how do you guys judge a good footballer? Im dumbfounded.

I loath soft footballs with sublime skills. I loath professionals that cant hit a target lace out, or miss goals from 35-40 dead on over 35% of the time, but If I had a choice who to pick in a team, it would be the shit kick with the big heart and little fear every day of the week.

They are different footballers that is for sure. I can't imagine Robran ever smashing a pack.

So you wouldn't pick Tiprat either.

Why not? He seemed quite passionate about royally screwing us. Supporter/teammate backlash doesnt seem to phase him much.
Never said anything about integrity or moral fiber... :)
