If we could get him back as a CAT B… I’d be open to it
Has been at the club. Knows the defensive system. Was always aggressive in the contest. Would be a ready to play option
Would be a better recruit than 80-90% of the other CAT B candidates out there

If I’m not mistaken he’s still contracted and listed with us in 2022. For him to go public suggests the club has said thanks, but no thanks for ‘22 at least.

Having an Irish background myself I’m definitely still Keen to see him in the black and white.
The Madge has talents, people under-estimate them, just gotta work on his footy talents a bit though

there's something ironic about this bloke being called keen....

Interesting. He’s still listed cat b so wouldn’t cos5 us a spot. But he’s blown his chance. No way even if we wanted him that he’d get up to the required fitness by the time we’d be ready to delist him again.

I'd take him for sure. We need KPPs and he had pace and promise.
I reckon he would have taken Madgen spot for sure.

We seem to find uncommitted Irish players, which is ironic given that our roots as a club are working class Irish Catholic immigrants.

I’d welcome him back with open arms
People forget how brutal 20-22 was with lack of travel, lockdowns etc.
Can understand why he was homesick.
Only 22, athletic, some mongrel.
He fits the profile of what we are trying to build.

not true, showed plenty
Far less talented players getting games with us. Keane lacks a bit of football iq but I think he has some decent attributes. An upgrade on madge.

at least the madge turns up on gameday.... .lets see how many boys take the day off tomorrow to spend it with the mum...
I'm honestly surprised at how many people are forgiving of keane for just wanting to go home after signing a contract. He reeked of immaturity when he played. Throwing his arms around and basically acting like a 2 year old. No wonder he wants to go back to the breast....
I agree I'd take him back for the last 14 games of this year. I dont think he will ever be good enough as a FB but as a third tall defender CHB he could be quite good. There is nothing to lose may help VFL win a flag, could exceed expectations and stay on the list or be someone we could trade. He is on the list anyway. (I think)
young bloke, dont see a problem with that.......... with the later
Missed it , how many pints of Guinness did he down at the Elephant and Wheelbarrow ?
Why not? See out his contract, he’s not the only person to have struggled during COVID and being so far from his family and friends. It would have been horrific.
Just don’t think he’ll be much help with no footy since leaving. I actually liked what he had to offer.
A bit harsh, he’s just a kid on the other side of the world mid way through a pandemic without an ability to interact with anybody. Tough going!

Hall of Famer
Large numbers of expats broke contract and went home and didn't return to finish their contract.
Companies who cracked the shits with them and threatened to enact penalty clauses, ended up losing a heap more expat staff in the following two June's when expat contracts tend to end.
Companies who understood, shook hands and said give us a call when this s**t ends, retained a heap more of their staff.
