Re: Ciaran Byrne Reply #3 – April 08, 2014, 09:01:42 pm Carlton is a bit like the curious case of Benjamin Button, by the end of the year Ciaran will be so crap he'll be on a one way ticket back to Ireland... Quote Selected
Re: Ciaran Byrne Reply #5 – April 08, 2014, 09:09:17 pm That's amazing for a bloke that hasn't grown up playing the game. Good disposal on both sides and seemed to pick up the run of the game and flight of the ball without too much trouble.He must be one of those blokes who can play just about any sport.I hope he's one of the young blokes Judd is mentoring.
