AFL legend Nathan Buckley has attached a “buyer beware” warning to Conor McKenna as he prepares to return to Australia.
The Tyrone All-Ireland winner quit Essendon two years ago after battling homesickness for a number of years but now apparently wants to try his hand at Australian rules football once again, with Geelong, Brisbane and Port Adelaide reported to be interested in signing him up.
Former Collingwood coach Buckley, who captained Australia against Ireland in the International Rules series in 1999 and won the Brownlow Medal as AFL player of the year in 2003, questioned whether McKenna will be in it for the long haul this time around having returned to Ireland previously.
