Re: Post Game Analysis: AFL 2021 Rd 11: Carlton vs Sydney Reply #195 – June 02, 2021, 05:38:26 pm If Ben McKay is contracted but open, then you'd definitely ask the question....he's definitely come on this year as a key defender and could be a perfect long term replacement for Jones....and maybe free Weitering up to play more of that intercept marking type....a bit like Jake Lever at Melbourne. It's definitely an area we haven't planned for and Marchbank just doesn't seem to be able to get near it for long enough....he's likely to be delisted and then rookied IMO.
Re: Post Game Analysis: AFL 2021 Rd 11: Carlton vs Sydney Reply #196 – June 02, 2021, 06:55:43 pm I thought Ben McKay was off contract at the end of 2021 - did he extend?

Yep I was pretty sure that was correct. I would be speaking to his brother to gauge how keen he might be. We have our pillars set for a decade if he comes over.

Kept punching!!!!Working with Scotty was a strange mix of odours, BO, alcohol and cigar smoke, I think that big brown coat he wore was probably beige when it was new, some claimed they could smell him in the lift well before it arrived, he always had plenty of free space in there!I believe Flubbo modelled his early career on Scotty! 1 Likes
