Will he be just another Michie, Newton or Riley?

Point?

    There is a package on the club website  - he looks very neat in all aspects (albeit he is playing in the lower grade).

    GWS website shows his weight now up to 86kg, so at 188 will give some height and bulk to the midfield.  If he retains the run he was drafted for then it is all upside.

    He had a hip op last year, so might have to wait a while for his best.

    He seems to be more competition for our back 6, rather than our midfield, but I could be wrong. Certainly looks like we're targeting the good ball users now. He looks very neat.

    Some nice highlights here.

    Looks to have really good vision and disposal skills.

    Some nice defensive marks backing back too. With blonde hair he'll also fit into the defence with Oscar, Tom, Sam, Jayden, Josh & Bernie.

    Hopefully we have learned our lesson there and not handed out another lengthy contract. A one year deal would be good. Welcome, Pat.

    If it's one thing this trade period has taught me, never sit back and assume MFC is done for the rest of the period.

    (if I didn't learn it from the sublime manoeuvring last year)

    MFC website claiming he is a good decision maker. One thing we definitely need

    Knows where his off stump is, and leaves the ball well.

    Just  finished a good season

    Cost bugger all

    What's not to like?

    We received a pick upgrade from 57 to 51, then a downgrade of a later pick - he was practically free.

    Depends on whether you are a pessimist or optimistic the club knows what it is doing

    No, depends on if he is a good footballer or not

    From this article:

    http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-11-27/giant-leap-for-one-of-gws-six-draftees

    McKenna, the left-handed batting Australian under-19 skipper, was taken by the Giants during the second round at No.23 overall.

     
    The 18-year-old led his country on a tour to Sri Lanka in September, but it was there he decided on a career in football after excelling for Gisborne in the Bendigo Football League.
     
    McKenna is 186cm and 76kg, is good overhead and with his good foot skills, can play a variety of positions.
     
    Giants list manager Stephen Silvagni said he could see enormous upside in McKenna, once he got some pre-seasons into him.
     
    "We know he runs very well and he's an elite ball user," Silvagni said.
     
    "We rated him and we had pick 23 and we picked him. We were happy to get him there."

    Is it a concern that SOS rates him??

    And better than we thought we'd get with our first pick.

    I believe his dream is to play in front of a packed MCG  - he's just swapped sports to achieve this goal easier.  

    The MFC - a destination club for multiple reasons!

    I find these sort of comments totally tasteless and unnecessary.  Perhaps it's just me.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
