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

[Darealrath]

I’m probably the only one that’s completely fine with this

I'm fine with it too. Happy for the club to go to extra lengths to keep him happy, especially given how tempting it would be for him to help Tyrone win the All Ireland.

I’m surprised he didn’t wanna make it two weeks off so he could hit up Splendour last weekend

 

[TheBrightSide]

An Irish wedding. I’m guessing he’ll be returning with a decent hangover.

Nah I reckon there is quite a few of us.

Showing disrespect for Gold Coast lol

Nope. Sounds like this has been known and planned for awhile.

The opposition is irrelevant.

I’m fine with it........unless we lose, then I’ll go on a massive rant.

 

[Howard Moon]

Hope he posts a photo by the pool with a beach ball

 

[DonsRule]

nice of his mate to schedule his wedding the weekend we play gold coast.

His Brother...

No crumbed sausages or shopping lists for GC this week.

My initial thoughts were "who gets married in footy season?".

I then thought "well I guess it isn't footy season in Ireland".

Play on. Unfortunate for us, but that's all it is.

One of our other players sisters got married on an Anzac weekend. That way she could guarantee he would be able to make it.

Recent history says any of our players relatives could get married any time after ~7th September. I hope that recent history is about to change and push that date back 3 or 4 weeks.

Thank goodness he's going overseas. Our tomato sauce stocks require immediate replenishment. This will allow the market to catch up.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

I couldn’t care less.

But if we were playing Collingwood and a game out of the 8, I’d be ropable

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Still reckon he’s consulted on a date with his brother when the draw came out. It’s

gee whiz this thread

Couldn't agree more

Do they book weddings on such short notice? (Outside of Vegas)

We did the same thing for David Hille if I recall correctly.

Completely fine with it, some things are just more important than one game of footy.

He will be absolutely smashed all weekend and then flying 24 hours.
Surely at risk of injury if he plays the week after. Or of being very average and off the pace.

Or is that just older bodies? Can you do that sort of stuff in your early 20s and get away with it?

What's wrong with bye weekend????? Or winter weddings!!!

 

[boncer34]

Rubbish

 

[Old Campaigner]

Good move, accommodating players in this kind of way will go a long way to attracting other players to the club.

Love the pic of Michael Symonds attached to this thread - a very mercurial player and great overhead
