Love the crowd reactions in the background as well.

All 6 Kerry supporters. They don't deserve Clifford.

There was a healthy enough sprinkling of Kerry people there in fairness...

You need two things to be a successful target man in gaelic football.
Big hands and a big arse.

Absolutely!!!!  As someone who played it for years I certainly had the latter...and still do🤣

But your big head makes you well balanced.  :D
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

2-6 yesterday again. What a player Clifford is. Best young player I've ever seen and if he stays injury free god knows how good he will end up.

I wonder does he regret not taking up an AFL contract now. Different class of a player and has actually lived up to the hype.

He will win an all-Ireland, and Kerry have a good team coming though they are about 3yrs away! I its the older hands who don't seem up to it at the minute! I they have problems in both lines of defence and midfield! I Geaney and O Donghue hardly lead the line this year!

He's too slow for Aussie rules I think. He will win plenty of senior All Ireland's and i would say he could end up being the first pro Gaelic footballer. Made the right call to stay here imo.

Is he moving up to Dublin?

??? Huh ?

Don't even know where to start with that one

I mean I don't think he will end up working for the Bank or doing a 9-5 job. He will effectively be a full time Gaelic footballer. I think Jason Sherlock was the closest I can remember to being a GAA star in Ireland. There have been others who have taken the odd year out to concentrate on GAA but I think Clifford could end up being the first proper GAA star in Ireland.

The first proper GAA star?

What about Joe Canning, Bernard Brogan, Aidan O'Shea etc etc.

What are they, milkmen?  ???

Didn't Donaghy take a year out from work to focus on football? Paid for by whoever his employer was?

Yes and no. A few of the former Ulster Bank employees who took a redundancy offer, got a daycint lump sum payment. They lived off that during their year(s) off focusing on their GAA "career". Darren O'Sullivan & Karl Lacey did similar. Am going purely on interviews the players themselves gave & not any insider knowledge.
