He preferred to donate his car to a car park than return.

Is McKenna’s car still in the car park at Tullamarine? Could just give Cillian the keys. Might need a new battery.

ahh did we forget about Cian McBride and Ross McQuillan.

More misses than hits and they also take a lot of development resources up.

Hey Cillian, welcome to Essendon :waving_hand:.

(I’m guessing you probably googled the club when you heard about it and this site may have come up).

Looking forward to seeing you get a game.

Nothing worse than a sandwich from the deli that tastes offaly.

I would prefer a battered sav than offal. Will he be selling many of those?

Be pretty funny if on day one he is a better kick than Tsatas

What I gathered from that article is he is not coming to us, he is going to Essedon.

The loss of Cillian Bourke to Tullamore and Offaly football will be profound if he signs terms with Essedon in the Australian Football League, as expected.

Maybe Essedon is the anti-Essington? Feeling bullish!

What a load of tripe. You gotta be kidney-ing. We love the sweet meet of puns here.

Give him the number 7

This did confuse me, signed with them last season and played some VFL by the looks of it.

Already allocated.

You don’t like Offaly ? Would you prefer the original Uí bhFailí ?

Glad we’ve got another Irish recruit. Good luck to him. Give him Number 32.

He gives us a full list, so will he pass for indigenous against Richmond ?

Whoops my mistake, I thought it was abdicated along with the captaincy

Carry on

Here’s hoping that Offaly is. Frifully good

Looks like Rosa is prioritising players in the mould of the great Hawthorn (sorry to use foul language) teams of the last 20 years. Height, pace and hopefully reliable delivery and good decision making.
