gleeson nonchalantly tapping the ball forward was a thing of beauty.

He also has elite unpredictability too. No-one knows what he is gonna do, not even himself.

I remember Hirdy referring to him as equivalent to a top 10 draft pick. Has turned out exactly as predicted.

McKenna’s handball there was as damaging as any of his kicks.

Got to the G early last week and watched McKenna marking kicks from 40m WITH HIS FOOT.
Freak.

Oh I want a gift of that
Midfield next year. He is too much of a weapon not to be in the thick of it.

Agree with all that.
I also noticed he is vastly improving in the air as you say. The contested mark from the kick in, in the dying minuets the week before was a great one. And again yesterday he was great in the air.
Needs to have a better plan other than just outrunning the opposition.
He often ends up tired at the end of a run and stuffs the kick, or he tries to step a player, they don’t really fall for it and then he’s in trouble because his options have disappeared.
Fix that and he will be an even bigger weapon than he already is.
In Conor’s defence by the time he has made he run, he has already gone past most of his passing options and our forward line is usually no where in sight.

Is there a player more electrifying than him?
No one runs both ways as much as he does, ■■■■■■■ love him.

Problem is there are often no options up ahead as the fwds are to far up the ground. If we had a well structured fwd line he would be able to kick it earlier.
So you’re saying he needs to slow down?

Normally McKenna is a very good shot on the run. Last few weeks he’s missed a few

or everyone else needs to think and act faster
Do we have the best group of HB flankers/small defenders in the league? Redman, McKenna, Saad, Ridley, Gleeson and also McGrath who’s excellent in defence

Yes we do.
We have a great list. Geez I wish we had Daniher right and playing well.
(actually on output wish we had Tom Lynch or Jezza Cameron. But id rather it being a Daniher putting other sides to the sword)

That handpass in the 3rd to release Fanta into space then to Langford. Just an awesome bit of creative play. Not to mention the multiple efforts to get it in the first place.

Wtf is a Colm Begley? I honestly couldnt tell you who he played for…at least guys like Hanley and Marty Clarke played meaningful football
Anyway, Sean Wight probably deserves a spot in there.
Anyway, I just came in here to profess my love for Conor…serious gun.
