yes both Marsden and Mackin played county minor and senior in the same year, 1993 i think when they had their 6 game run

So are we in agreement that he's the best minor ever? That was ridiculous today.

He has everything, two footed, great in the air, strong and ridiculously skilful.

Different league. Only a minor bit I've Never seen a player of such quality at any level of football. His mobility and skill in tight space was a joy to watch.

+1. It would be a crime against humanity if he went and played a game as unskilled as aussie rules.

He's almost as good as Beano McDonald - that's the highest praise I can give him.

Clifford is a freak at minor, a lot of people would say he's the best they've ever seen at that age level.

I don't think he'll go to AFL. I actually don't think he would make it there as his style is very languid and probably wouldn't suit the game. I also think his dominance at minor will not be replicated at senior as one of the main reasons he's been so lethal at minor is his size - we've all seen these type of guys before who look the part underage but when other players catch up with them physically as they age then it's not as big a gap.

Some feat though, think Kerry should be careful about integrating him - they should have him on the panel next year but I don't think he'll be ready for the business end stage of Championship football for another two years. Very few make the breakthrough now out of minor - they physicality required ensures that.

Saw a great hashtag yesterday.

The lad looks like he was designed by a GAA computer. The fecker has everything and I hope to see 10+ years of him at senior inter county level.

An absolute joy to watch. Hopefully Kerry can help see off the Australian advances.....hope this lad is playing for Kerry for years to come.

was never really bothered about players going out to Australia before now, but the GAA really needs this guy to stay in Ireland.

Did I not see a tweet from Clifford saying he was off to Sydney Swans or was I dreaming?
