I don’t think so. McBride will probably take 1 season in the VFL to even come close to selection and that goes for McQuillan pretty much. Hartley seems to be playing a lot better and I would not like to see him go at this point.
The development work we’ve done with Connor puts us in great stead with other prospective Irish recruits. Essendon is on the map in Ireland for these kids, they see Connor play and they want to come to us. Welcome Cian. Surely off the back of these signings and Connor X can work a sponsorship with Guinness? Serve them at our homes games, some bangers and mash or steak and ale pie. Really get around the Irish!
