 IT JUST WASN'T CRICKET

The former Australian Under 19 cricket captain took more than a season and a half to recover from a debilitating hamstring injury but his form on return couldn’t save him a spot on the list.

    I'd love to see the highlights package that (a) got McKenna drafted in the second round and (b) earned him four years on AFL lists, because he looked miles off the pace in his nine games this year. If he still dreams of an AFL career he could do worse than hang around at Casey for another year.

    Should have stuck with Cricket..

    Never saw the potential personally and was a bit confused why we went after him. I was even bit surprised he was takend as a 2nd round draft pick in the first place considering he was plucked straight from the bush.. was a rookie list option at best.

    I never saw him play at Casey but his highlight package when we picked him up showed some neat skills.

    Shame he apparently never found his feet although its understandable considering his injury setbacks.

    Wasn't he drafted with the pick we traded to GWS for Sam Frost and two third rounders (who I believe went on to become ANB and Stretch)?

    Close, ANB and OMac were the guys we got. Still good all round business on our part!

    He played a ripper final in the NEAFL which is why we went after him, but injuries meant he just never got going. We paid nothing for him (minor pick upgrades), so we've clearly come out on top just a shame some guys just never get a run at it.

    It's a shame, most would probably not know what number he wore. Hopefully life has some good things in store for him.

    Injury prone and delisted no surprise really.

    Apparently returning to his local roots.

    Wishing him good luck for the future - nearly two seasons out with hamstring issues is no fun.

    Hindsight is just so cool.

    Clearly our professional recruiting staff saw something in him that some posters here did not.

    FWIW the attached highlights package looked as if he could get the ball, dispose of it cleanly and effectively, and lay a tackle.

    Still, what do we know?

    Good luck  in whatever endeavours you pursue, and thanks for coming to the Demons even though it didn't end up as all of us would have hoped.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
