      Shezza's Videos al isn’t a great fit in the system and if we get cp3 for al we could have embiid at center, cp3 at PG, josh Richardson at SG, Simmons SF and Tobias power forward and we are getting a new coach so that might be a great team to start with.

      He wasn't psychologically prepared for the professional game with professional expectations - pretty much all sport amateur in Ireland, and so they tolerate them going walkabout more

      @@jamesperkins191 I think it's more to do with being so far away from home and not having the luxury to visit due to Corona. Compounded by playing for a dog shit team and an AFL media that treated him like a criminal.

      @@Alby911 Homesickness didn't help, but lots of guys move from a tiny town to a pro team in a big city, even from overseas like McKenna. He won't get A$250k pa in Ireland.
      Tipungwuit couldn’t speak any English until he was 15.
      And yes, the Australian media were pretty shit to him over the COVID19 diagnosis, which turned out to be a false-positive. But I’m sure there's sleazebag journos in Ireland too.

    I feel like these days highlights are only when you get a goal. There is much more to mckenna than kicking goals, I'd much rather see his run and bounce and breakthrough the middles than 3 minutes of kicking goals. 😭

    • @Alby911

      Maybe that's the whole point, everyone already knows McKenna's run and gun; but many would forget his goal scoring capability.
