Red is playing this weekend in the VFL and hope to see him playing in the forwards where he is at home. He's been getting some good advice and one on one coaching from a couple of Irish guys in the AFL ... It might take a year but watch this kid for the future

What?! I couldn't understand you.

Can you say that again in Australian please? Or can someone provide sub-titles?

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Had his best return for the year with 9 disposals & 3 tackles.

From what I was told he showed a little bit of dash and wasn’t afraid to take them on.

Still a work in progress but a couple of good little signs there. Is also enjoying life in Melbourne so far.

A lot of us that were sent out on the GDP (Genetic Diversification Program) are too scared that if we go back our comrades will think we've defected and take away our passports.... Regardless of the account of diversifying we've encouraged/encountered....

Are you trying to justifying lusting after large thighed people again?

As I recall Conor McKenna accelerated his development rapidly after a few months in the twos.

The traitorous Tyrone thug.

Just kicked a nice set shot for goal. Every player ran straight to him, good to see

Irish players always a slow burn. Not only got to adapt to the game but gotta follow elite living standards in a new country with no support systems in their life but the club.

And hope he's not renting a room at Garn's place.

Saw that.

Wanna see more like it.

Persist.

Wonder if he chose to wear 45

Goodbye Red Óg Murphy.

Disappointing he's pulling the pin early but best of luck to him.

Why can we not develop any of the Irish kids. This kid was supposed to be a top junior back in Ireland. It's really disappointing as they add a point of difference with their run and carry, something we could do with.

You would need to question the club as to our poor development with these irish kids.

Agreed.

The go home factor is actually pretty high, very few actually go on for long careers, but we seem to do particularly badly.

Was starting to kick goals in the VFL (first time he kicked two was on the weekend) so I think he was developing fine. Not everyone is going to make it moving across the world to try out a new sport. The strike-rate for Irish players exceeding is extremely low. Only four have made it (played more than 50 games) in the last two decades.

What's the league wide hit/miss ratio and what's our ratio? It can't be high league wide. We'll get it right at some point.
