Thought he was clearly in our best five today and had him 3rd best for us. Had the ball on a string in the 2nd and 3rd quarter and setup our last goal with a really smart play on the flank. Coming along brilliantly- I believe he was @ivan ‘s man first?
ahem…
Colm Begley only played 30 games
Irish would already be ahead of him on games played
Setanta o’Hailpin played 88
I’d argue McKenna has the tools to be a better half back than Keneally was. But he needs to string a few more good seasons together and get a AA nom to convert the masses.
Whoops. I meant Pearce Hanley who is on 149 games.
Yep Hanley was a good player when he was at the Lions.
setanta o’haiplin is number one IMO. anyone who kicks a FC spud in the nuts is a winner in my eyes. extra points if you’re a teammate.
Santa can help em all he wants. They will still be ■■■■■. #farkcarlton
can’t play football they said.
That run through the middle in the 3rd quarter was sensational, poor bloke was spent by the end and could barely kick it 30m.
His first goal was a ripper.
Same here, l couldn’t leave him out of the votes. Willed himself to drive the ball in on that last player and left some spud in his wake as he took off. Glorious to watch.
Watching the highlights only confirmed what I saw at the ground. This guy was in EVERYTHING.
I had him in the votes behind Tippa and Merrett.
Will finish top 10 maybe top 5 in the BNF.
Is Conor is good.
Does ok. LOVED the handball to Gleeson who then sets up Langford.
There are two aspects of his game that are elite, his disposal by either foot, and his speed. Watching yesterday on one of his runs, he blew past a couple of North players, one gave chase and started to close the gap. Conor had a quick look, saw him closing and just accelerated away. I have absolutely no doubt that over just about any distance up to 100 metres he would be the quickest at the club and one of the top five in the competition.
The other things that he is really starting to develop are his overhead ability and his use of the body. Have noticed over the last few games that he has really developed that body on body physicality that most of the Gaelic converts struggle to adapt to.
Love the idea of giving him some midfield time.
ALL our elite runners need to practise slowing a fraction before disposing. And all our forwards need to lead to the runners so their kicks only have to travel 30m
Last 2 weeks McGrath, Saad, Shiel and Irish all ran like thieves but at the crucial point of disposing the ball turned the ball over or missed easy shots.
Step 1 Get away from opponent
Step 2 DELIVER
That handball was incredible.
Here is said handball - creating Langford goal
