McKenzie could surprise a few. Could be on target for an early 2016 debut  :clapping

I agree Dooks. Just needs to have a huge preseason to improve his tank. Has the tools to make an impact.

This guy was touted as having a huge tank for a bloke his size during the draft period.

Why now is all the talk about his aerobic fitness? We need a power forward, not another skinny one.

It is a very different game these days. Forwards need to lead continuously up and down the ground. As well as power you need a tank. Simple.

Kicked 16 in a game for his school

So did I. Doesn't mean I'm any good

Did you deliver these numbers in a TAC game?
18 disposals, 13 marks (6 of those contested), three goal assists, 10 goals and 4 behinds. A total of 256 Supercoach points
If so, you were incredibly unlucky not to be given a crack.
At 197cms and 100kg, it will only be attitude and luck with injuries that will prevent him being given a go

I f***ing love this club”

Incorrect Andy.
Great speed for a guy his size but his aerobic capacity was always going to be the biggest hurdle.

Still a fair way behind both....and yes, he stuck the one tackle he made yesterday.

Never played TAC so can't say I did, but who said I was never given a crack ;)

I thought his tank was his biggest issue the moment he walked in? That or his apparently poor attitude
