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

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

Lunatics running the asylum perhaps...Confirmed Monday Rayner's contract hasnt been extended. Club reneg on two year development agreement.

Is he that bad?

Is he that bad?

They must have thought so... I dont recall too many rookies getting the single year only in recent times. EFC must be really cash strapped.

Really disappointing if true. He's a free hit FFS

Most rookies get 1 year deals if they're not promoted.

Looks like he comes from the Gleeson/Gregory School of Lifting. At least there is a decent frame to work with.

Skinny but muscular....that will be a powerful Dangerfield like physique in time. Just hope he can play....

Similar face too. I wonder if he can do impersonations like Danger!!

Also there is no way that that is bean pole for a very young kid. His thighs, hips and core are a very good size and that is what matters for footy. The arms are purely for show and are just another few kilos to carry around on match day.

Yep,time to knuckle down kid.

 

[Burzum]

Thankfully they put in subtitles.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Haha Hirdy.

I hear he does a ripper Irish accent..

Curious how quick this kid really is, hope they video the sprint drills.. would love to see how he matches up against Dalgleish.
If his talking pace is anything to go by though, Im already excited!

somethings wrong, hes not albino?

My ex's family were some of "the black Irish" .. said to descend from survivors from the Spanish Armada.

 

[Old Campaigner]

Thankfully they put in subtitles.

Lol. I hope they keep putting subtitles in even when he learns to speak properly just to take the piss.

Same as my family, small world!!!

 

[TheFrenchCut]

Seriously considering getting a guernsey with his number on the back (whatever it may be). Incredible ability to impersonate Brad Pitt's character from Snatch.

Must contain eagerness.

 

[Old Campaigner]

Can kick alright for a guy whose never seen a footy before.

 

[yaco55]

Will potentially injure when one of his team-mates with his loopy kicks. He runs like B.Harvey.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Gee for a bloke that's hardly played the game he looks like a natural.

 

[Howard Moon]

love the first one... semi speckie then bounces away and burns everyone off before kicking

 

[VelvetSledge]

Gee whiz, looks a good sort...

I very much doubt he'll be kicking loopy kicks by the start of next season....
