I liked him as a footballer and thought he was OK as a defender and reasonable as a forward.
Keenan is still dirty about leaving the Dogs. He has always blamed Joycie, says he didn't want to go but no contract was offered to him. Great bloke, used to take the piss out of Wheels when he got carried away. Famous for his "Where's the f***ing backmen", remark when Wheels had spent all his time yet again showing how to create goals.
Rather than an underachiever I would put him up as someone who through attitude got the most from his talent, afterall Essendon let us have him because they thought he couldn't play at all.
