Be very apt if he plays a sweeping role in the backline, cleaning up wayward D50 entries

Question without having done any research, but has there been an Irishman who couldn’t kick an Australian Rules football?

I’ve always thought that ball handling is key. Especially under pressure.

I saw that vid of him being picked up at the airport.
It’s a small sample size of course.

But he’s carrying the ball one handed.
He’s handballing to himself left handed.
And bounces it right handed effortlessly.

It’s obvious he’s been practising.
I have little concern about his ability to handle an oval ball.

Marking might be a different issue. It takes a while to adjust to the angle of a floating oval ball. Ie adjusting the hands.

Very good overhead in Gaelic, because he obeys the first rule - watch it all the way into your hands.

That's a pretty 101 grip of the Sherrin right there

I have zero idea if large hands make a good footballer. I’ve never thought about it.

Is that a size 5 kids footy?
Because those are big hands.

Yep, I grew up in Thomson and Bruce played footy for the Tigers. Look at how small that pot looks in his hands.

Dangerous man hopping through a barbwire fence with his beloved pump action shotgun trigger guard removed so he could get a finger to the trigger.

That doesn't look like a man who's never picked up Sherrin until this week.

In all fairness we still haven’t seen a video on him kicking.
His ball drop and technique looks fine but he could absolutely butcher it from this point onwards

The suspense is genuinely killing me

I’m very surprised when they did the piece on him last week that they didn’t have a kicking action shot

If I was the media team I'd half cut it into heaps of footage but always just the initial ball drop then but away.

Yes I am also considering dabbling in sadism, why do you ask?

 

[CatRiot]

this bloke is a right old specimen... the specimen

next gen will be following him around in the gym for pointers.

 

[CatRiot]

i'd like to see his kicking action, but I reckon he will get games in the ones this year... he'll get games just on his fitness and strength
