all the initial reports are saying geelong which makes sense given touhy and o'connor are so settled and ingrained there as well as his apparent connection with pops kelly from their time at the dons but i hope we're in play here. ticks a lot of boxes. excellent balance between elite kicking and blistering pace, would arrive as a DFA so no cost included in picking him up and would be an ideal replacement for hibbo long term and by joining us he'd get a proper chance at a flag. we also have the irish heritage and connection ingrained inour clubs history which could be appealing to mckenna, every irishman looks up to jim and the chance to play for the same team is surely a lure.

sidenote, how on earth are teh cats fitting in Hopper, McKenna, Grundy, Bruhn and Bailey Scott? asking for a mate

I thought he left because he was homesick. You'd want to make sure he's not going to bail again after a year or two. 

he's best mates with zach tuohy, isn't he?

puddy tatts win again

(here's hoping they fail, once again, in september)

Maybe it was partly due to homesickness, but iirc it had more to do with the shellacking he copped from the media and footy fans alike over the positive Covid test result that necessitated the postponement of their game against us in 2020.

Agree. Cats would already be at the salary cap max in my view. Sure probably Higgins and Isaac-Smith retire but there’s extra $$ for many existing cats.  

Plus "Geelong" is a Gaelic word.

Walked out to go home with a year to go on his contract, buyer beware.

I believe it is the shortened form of "Gee - long in the tooth", gaelic for middle aged footballer.

Ah to be sure to be sure. Would fit right in at Geelong.

He's only 26!
