Retired #45: Conor McKenna ☘️ - Returning to the AFL to play with Brisbane - 17/11

[fairbump_playon]

He was fourth in the B&F.

No wonder he doesn’t want to stay

 

[Maxabillions]

back on Tuesday

You sure? Or did he just say c u next Tuesday to Woosha?

Sounds like he was worried about the Ambrose injury so he came back

Nah....BZT has it all under control.

Ambrose really is the ultimate team player.

I don't want to jump the gun until he is back but the melts here were absurd

 

[Howard Moon]

i wouldn't count out Edendork just yet - my sources tell me they are yet to make their final pitch

Have they held back on offering him the local mail route? Or are they going with the milk run?

Pretty sure the mailman does delivers the milk as well, jokes on Edendork

This fiasco is symptomatic of the club as a whole. Unprofessional, undisciplined, disorganised and laughable in the landscape of professional sport.

Hope he doesn't bring the virus and wipe out our list.

 

[Howard Moon]

it's easy to see how he could be homesick, it must be a shock to go from a family who survived the great potato famine to a club overflowing with them

Very early contender for POTY

If you look really closely, the clue lies in the definition of a “contract”. The terms of said document entitle McKenna to a significant salary.
He should be reminded of the terms and responsibilities of his contract and informed that if he’s unable to meet the demands, his contract will be terminated. Chasing a player across the world and begging for his return when he’s ready and feeling less delicate is a farce, particularly at this point of season preparation.

I feel like threatening a young person (or anyone else for that matter) with the sack while they deal with difficult personal circumstances might be a teensy weensy bit counter productive

I hope you are never in charge of people....ever.

Attitudes and a lack of adherence to standards have led the club to the wilderness it now finds itself after two decades of failure.

Attitudes and a lack of adherence to standards have led the club to the wilderness it now finds itself after two decades of failure. I hope you’re never in charge of people who are required to perform task to a standard or function as a team. I feel you’d be a great childcare worker, though

Seriously? You can do that whilst managing at an individual level at the same time, you know? Where has he said that standards shouldn't be set and adhered to? Does pissing off a very good and very popular player help the players function as a team? Things aren't as simple as you seem to believe.

 

[CBombers17]

The club opened the barn door with the wedding last year and needs to close it now. He's not being help hostage out here, he's a grown adult on his second contract chosing to be part of an elite sporting competition for big $$$. This is not a fifo situation.

Apparently he's on the record stating this will be his last contact as well. Thanks Conor good luck and all the best - its that simple.
