I ran into him at the Allstar night and had a good chat to him. What he did with Kerry was fantastic and we’re hoping he’ll bring something similar to ourselves.”
“I’d imagine the calendar will be filled with challenge games if there is no pre-season competitions,” added McKinless. As well as a disappointing Championship campaign with the Oak Leafers, McKinless also spent much of the season sidelined with a number of injuries.
