They tried playing him at half back in the AFL which was stupid.

That's where pretty much every Irish lad who goes over ends up playing.

I know and it doesn't always make sense.

It's not really, would have zero chance of making it as a tall forward in that game. Pace and ability to read the game is what they're after, is why Kennelly, Clarke and Tuohy all did/are doing reasonably well at half-back.

Always rated Paddy Brophy highly, always remember his minor game against Dublin when himself and Niall Kelly looked as good if not better than Kilkenny, Mannion, Small, Lowdes, Costello and McCaffrey. Maybe not Kilkenny actually, he was superstar at minor level scored 10 or 11 points in one game against Kildare.

Cribben, Flynn, Feeley have all played Pro sports and if Hurley gets fit and now Brophy that could be 5 ex-professionals in the Kildare ranks, must be a record surely?

Rory Feeley is another one playing soccer with St Pats.

Great news from a Kildare pov. Disappointed it didn't work out for Paddy though.

One glaring absentee in that list, will we ever see Shergar back?

Jinxy

After a few years of professional training imagine how many pull-ups he can do.
If you were any use you'd be playing.

Not like a Kildare forward to miss.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigid
"St. Brigid is associated with perpetual, sacred flames, such as the one maintained by 19 nuns at her sanctuary in Kildare, Ireland. The sacred flame at Kildare was said by Giraldus Cambrensis and other chroniclers to have been surrounded by a hedge, which no man could cross. Men who attempted to cross the hedge were said to have been cursed to go insane, die or be crippled or lose all Ireland finals"

I think they built a parking spot for a Range Rover over the flame.

As if an oul hedge would stop any Kildare man worth his salt.

Costello was better than them all at underage at least imho. Lad was and is a beautiful footballer but he dragged the Dublin hurlers to the minor AI final by putting them on his back too. Ridiculously adaptable.

Good to see lads returning, if it's what they want. Kilkenny's open letter on his return himself she'd a light on the homesickness a lot of the young lads trekking off to Oz have to deal with.
