Former #41 -- Cian “Willy” McBride

The kids got confidence.

Lol. That is genuinely funny.
Zerk has plenty still to learn himself, he’s in no way ready to teach other defenders.

With Hartley, Long, McNeice, Dea all gone from the VFL backline, I can Imagine Zerk helping him out on field if he does his apprenticeship in defence.

VFL Back 6
Hb: McQuillam Guccione Ridley
B: McBride Zerk-Thatcher Smith

he has no AFL experience lets jst do something highly unusual and actually play him where they actually think he will play.

If its forward let him play forward.

its a blank canvass

play him out of the goal square …i get an inkling we may actually do something a little different with our set up this year!

Takes it at the highest point.

Correct Mike
This is very exciting for the club.
I think and hope the selectors throw caution to the wind and give them a game in the JLT
They may surprise

When he plays his first game, will they fly out the Father of the McBride to watch?

Hopefully he has a less embarrassing first game than McKenna did. Otherwise we’ll have a blushing McBride.

I’m sure he’ll have a honeymoon period.

His number is 41 and his name is an anagram of B McRidniece.

Getting on the banwagon early.
would be great for our list if he can make it as a forward.

Even before he knew how to play the game Conor was an effective small forward. As I recall he kicked about 18 goals in the VFL in his first year of Aussie rules. But Conor is a very accurate kick and has goal sense. These are things we dont know about McBride yet. But yes, Cian McBride, at 197 could be our next key forward. Bandwagon, yes. Messiah in the post Joe era? No its way too early for that.
