Kennelly coming home - AFL overreaction?

[Kerry Mike]

I hope its true, but its an annual story out of Oz for the last 7 years, and espeically with Tommy Walsh and maybe David Moran heading in the other direction. Always seens him as a replacement for Darragh O'Se somewhere in his career and at only 27 and if he remains injury free there is 5-6 good years left in him.

Still there will be no walk-on roles with the Kingdom and he will have to knuckle down to some serious skelping around the fields of North Kerry and will then have to prove himself to Jack and Co. before a Kerry jersey is his again, but it could be an interesting move.
Tim "Horse" Kennelly would be proud to see him in the green and gold. And who knows if Paidi had played hiim in 2002 we might never have seen Armagh ot Tyrone winning All Irelands. Now there's a "what if"

Ah, the annual Tadhg Kennelly says he's coming home thread. Who really cares at this stage?

I care 

[marty88]

Must be time for a pay rise ?

Correct.

Tadhg plays them well.

Whatever happened to Setanta and Aisake O Halipin - Just think instead of being over there not getting a game they could be at home with the Cork hurlers errr.. not getting a game.

Would he even make the Kerry team if he did come back? Obviously his fitness levels would be very good but in Kerry of all place competition for places is high.

right now i have my fingers and toes crossed that dara will do another year, (thomas o se was on dara o cinnedes show on RNG saying they were very happy that jack o connor was back so i'm hopefull) but even if he does dara wont be around much longer and if tadgh came back next year it would be perfect. he's a great competitor with good leadership skills and would add alot imo. no doubt he'd have some fresh ideas for training! btw if anyone has yesterdays indo there was a very good article by sean wight who also left listowel and played 13 years in the afl but had a tough time downunder

[JimStynes]

[magickingdom]

He is only 27 so id fair play he has a few yrs left in him and hes coming back to Kerry to fulfill a life long dream.

He was obviously facilating the oz journos with the premiership comment. If you think thats bad you tube steve mcclaren at fc twente speaking with a dutch accent is hilarious .

When is Dara's show on Magic?

[magickingdom]

sorry 5sams just saw this. he produces 'an saol o dheas' which is on most days at 12-1. he's not the presenter but often does interviews..

[Tyrone Dreamer]

More speculation in the herald that he's set to quit Sydney early and come home and play for Kerry this year. Anyone think it could be true?

Load of dung.

[Tyrone Dreamer]

Dont know why but I think there could be some truth in it. The story seems to keep coming up and at this stage he wouldnt be interested in a new contract. Would be interesting to see how he'd get on.

After him wanting Kyle to go back over? Hardly think so. This rumour floats around the place once or twice a year.
