Senior 42. Mark O'Connor (2017 -)

[4quarter_cat]

But its not over rating if its true.

 

[Cezz The Catter]

I'm all over the place this post season, only just found out about this acquisition. Doing a bit of research he definitely has some X-factor, would love to see a few more Irish players in the comp.

Can't fault the young lads attitude

 

[dazbroncos]

Surely cant do any worse than the full body cramp Luxford did in his first session....

Good luck to him.

Working hard enough to have a full body cramp is quite commendable.

O'Connor won't have that issue he was one of the best in the endurance testing at the combine. Should be at the heels of Blicavs and Menegola.

 

[Catman]

Great attitude was what I took away from the interview. Fully aware of the hill he has to climb but is going to give it his all.

Reckon he'll be popular member of the squad too.

 

[TheJimmyCartel]

Don't usually hold much hope for most rookies (with good reason I guess) but I have a really good feeling about this kid - seems to have the right attributes and the right mindset. I'm on the O'Connor bandwagon. Will be watching with interest.

Someone needs to photoshop a guinness into his hand.

Just liked his marking ability and his agility for his size. It's going to be a massively long and arduous road for him to make it vfl level.. Let alone the big time... But with those tools, that attitude and the slow cook for 2-3 years.. It could very well pay off.

Good luck to him , as you say he looks to have a good group of skills... go home factor is always a bit of a concern when we are talking 2-3 years. Lets hope he can pick it up quickly

 

[Down at K Park]

By the sound of it he wanted to come out here badly. I dont see him running back to ireland with home sickness.

 

[Grimoz]

Anyone else think he looks a bit like Wingard?

 

[Farmer2Goggin]

Been some reasonable precedents set from previous Gaelic players - hope he's another one that makes it

[Landgraft]

Any chance the MoC doubters will be in any way assuaged by the reports from earlier in this thread that he played four finals and was BOG in three of them?

Maybe he's been brought in to start honing a keen edge to our group that can rise to the occasion for the big dance.

 

[dazbroncos]

lol

happy to be WRONG if this works out...

Go Catters...

Haha yep I skipped all the nice stuff about him until I found something to do with him being a long way off just to mess around

Just how much is this about the story ... adding a second irish player to our main list and now another rookie... are we trying to look the green club ?

Imo I think it’s all about having 2 cat b rookies. I think they wanted Okanfor and Shenslong and thus has to move MOC up.
