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

[VelvetSledge]

Fantastic news, seems to have some big wraps on him.

Bloody quick too, which is great. Hopefully a big pre-season ahead, get him in!

Hams needs a new guernsey number.

Did anybody sign the Irish fella from "The Recruit"?

Padraig Lucey? Geelong.

The Con is on!

Honestly though with the way he's been talked up by some along with his combine results, if he was in the draft he would be about a 2nd round pick yeah? Looks like we've filled that void then.

 

[Pevers-Legend]

Quinny!!!!

 

[RearNaked]

he isnt allowed to play any finals in Adelaide

I think he'll be great for the record, but that would be a very speculative 2nd-rounder...

Are there any GIFs of Quinny stubling over the goal line in that final? Not that i want to remember it.

I think this thread has been polluted enough with references to failed project players.

Great news!

 

[CBombers17]

Excellent news! Even though I've never heard of the bloke before today!

Me too!!! Me neither!!!!!!

I don't think there's anything wrong with picking blokes who like Star Wars.

I have a problem with picking blokes who DON'T like Star Wars...

 

[Doss]

He can actually call himself a spud with pride.

Diddly dee!

 

[Lord Nicholson]

"The Troubles" means something completely different to him.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Diddly Dee Potatoes.

 

[Charliebrow 16]

Fantastic - really excited for him. It's so refreshing to finally have a good news story to read and discuss. Hopefully he has a long and successful career with us.

 

[Zach Package]

I'm well on the bandwagon. I'll be the guy singing 'Danny Boy' at VFL games next year

Seriously though, I wonder how those conversations go...

I imagine there's a bit of Basil Fawlty to it...

"Oh, that's just a great joke between us and the AFL. Yes, we really love it. Every year they come at us and hound us about something or other and we take them to court. Very unusual sense of humour, Mike Fitzpatrick, but he loves it, and we all have a bit of a laugh. Perfectly normal stuff, happens all the time."

Yep, our recruiters are currently scouring Ireland, upper Papua and have dibs on sentient beings from other planets.
