Thanks DLand that is a great read.

Thank goodness you didn't accidentally stick an extra K on the end of that thread title!

Fantastic open insight by KK, wish him well. 

Was steak knives in the Hogan/May trade, but if he stays fit I think he’ll prove to be a really valuable player for us. We are crying out for highly skilled running types like him, so hopefully he can realize his potential and become the player he promised to be early in his career. Second in the BnF ahead of May, Lynch, Dixon, Martin etc shows the talent and output was there. I’d love him to settle on a wing, but think he may replace Lewis at halfback.

All the best to KK for his first game and beyond in red and blue!

Great read. Good on ya Kade, all the best tomorrow - I have very high hopes!! 

Good luck to him.... Really hoping he reaches his potential 

Good luck Kade...you finally got here.

 

Really hope he can become a great player for the MFC!  Gotta feel for these kids who have the talent to make it, but who then struggle to get on the park due to protracted periods of injury and/or illness!  Just hope his bad patch is now well & truly behind him.

(Kinda nice touch that his first game with us will see him on the same ground as his brother!)

I'd argue, that was the media's perspective (and perhaps some supporters) ...there is no way this FD would waste a spot on dead wood (JKH excluded )

HaHa, and with May.  Lets hope we all can get a win for one another.

Good story.  Does he wear a helmet?

Two Ks, JK & KK, playing tomorrow.  Hate to be calling the play when they're both on the ground!

Is he Jewish,  'RN' ?

what did people think of his first game ?

I was a bit underwhelmed to be honest. Thought he was an outside player ? but seemed to lack pace to me. and intensity.

Like most, looks like a guy who's just underdone. Lack of pace was very evident & physically he looks very weak / undeveloped.

These first 4 to 6 weeks will be very slow guys. Already looking forward to the second half of the season... got a feeling we'll hit the back half hard!

Took particular interest in this part of the article prior to the game and my immediate thought was why is he playing this week? I'll reserve judgment for now but wasn't much to get excited about from the weekends performance.

 

' I was kept out of the team in round one, 2016, but managed to convince the coaching staff to clear me for a return the following week.

In hindsight, I probably rushed myself back too early and could have done with a few more weeks in the NEAFL to help me build my match fitness and conditioning, as well as my confidence as I still wasn’t playing to the standard I knew I was capable of.'

well I actually hope that's the case here, as he looked slow and underdone.
