Tyrone County Football and Hurling

so how good is mckenna

Better footballer than McShane

If he fulfils his potential before he left then yes he is better than McShane.

However that is a big IF given he has been away for so long

He was a better footballer than McShane, alot has changed since then and McShane is a different player now.

It has but McKenna is coming back (if he stays) as a rare success story in the AFL. He's still only 23 and has not had any major injury worries.

It might take him a year or two to settle back into the game but I've no doubt if he comes back and stays injury free then he will be one of the top players in the country in the next two years. Physically and athletically he is a monster, he has searing pace that our team currently doesn't really have and a huge engine. The amount of ground he covers is staggering.

McKenna coming back would be a BIG boost.

He adapted very quickly to AFL and debuted at the age of 18/19, so you would think he could adapt back to football quickly? Having a forward line including McKenna, McShane, Harte and Donnelly suddenly looks VERY dangerous. Assuming he is a starter, you still have Sludden, McGeary, McCurry, Meyler, Bradley and others to throw in to to the mix.

Potentially exciting times...

Why is he home? Unless there is a private matter then surely he will be away back to Oz in a month or 2. Joining the real world of work and fitting in football and shite weather in Ireland might cure his homesickness.

Better footballer than 80% - unfair to measure against Cathal

Eglish matters. And Tyrone. He can go back once the ultimate prize in his life is won.

He must be on a £100k a year over there at least. It's hard to even know if he will be any use now and where would he play?

Speaking of Canavan is he playing for the u20s this weekend? He hasn't features at all in the pre season competition I don't think?

Was recovering from injury since re-aggravating it in the club championship last year (groin I think) - according to Devlin he is back in training as well as Tiarnan Quinn... both available for Saturday it sounds like

If he is homesick and restless, the money won't be an issue. Dont think it's hard to imagine hime re-adjusting given that Marty Clarke and Kennelly both did rightly on their return.
He's now a professional athlete - his youtube content is unreal and based on that alone there could be any n umber of options for later this year or definitely next

[Angelo]

His pace is phenomenal.

Just look at the way he burns some of the players in these videos. He's a player who plays with his head up, can takes scores off either feet and was a fine free taker back in his underage days as well.

[WT4E]

If he came back here for a year or two and decided he wanted to go back would AFL clubs still want him. Just curious as wouldn't have a clue how that works?
