Player Watch #10: Colby McKercher - R9 AFL RS nom - progressing slowly in return to AFL after bone stress injury in foot

[Caracas]

His performance in the last VFL game didn’t demand a call up. Got plenty of it, but the composure fell away as the game went on. He looked pretty cooked by the q4. Obviously there’s an elite player there, but I’d rather he’s cherry ripe and oozing confidence when he returns.

My gut feeling is he would still be an upgrade on a couple of players, if he came in this week.

Surely, he comes in this week. The absence of Wardlaw resulted in a distinct lack of “zing” in our team at the weekend. Colby will supply that. On my way to the game on Saturday, I looked at our line-up. I, honestly, felt a bit flat, as we looked quite bland. It’s a minor detail, I know. However, LMac, Scott, Shiels, Tucker, Pink and Teakle is one or two too many meh players to be fielding. Colby and, the following week, Wardlaw, changes that up completely.

I miss him.

As long as he doesn’t have his tongue out all is good

I was thinking of the current No 11

Loved that VFL footage. Colby hasn't played in our reborn post-bye team yet and I'm getting antsy about it!
