 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.

Date of Birth: 12 August, 1996

Height: 186cm

Weight: 85kg

Games MFC 2018: 0

Career Total: 0

Goals MFC 2018: 0

 Career Total: 0

CDFC Games 2018: 9

 CDFC Goals 2018: 4

 

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 REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
