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.

so how good is mckenna
Better footballer than McShane

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

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.

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?
