He was sponsored by Toyota in Ireland, I'm taking that as a good sign.

Not great game sense, should go well then lining up next to Jones.
In all seriousness, that’s understandable given he’s new to the game, query is whether he can develop it

Outstanding work, completely outplayed the Pies who didn't rate Keane or Tyler Brown, but we know so much more eh?So Justin, Hamish,Tim, Adam and the crew did good here?
Brown and Keane couldn't become Pies regulars so I'm not getting too excited by either. We got their signatures, that's all we've got at this stage. We're just playing darts and hoping one will turn into a regular 22 player.
Might turn out to be a masterstroke, but looks suspiciously like we are doing a Carlton--Brisbane and becoming a dumping ground for failed Pies.

If I hear someone say Keane is a failed Pie one more time I'm going to go spare.

Sounds like Keane left the Pies due to covid homesickness not the other way around.

Crops couldn’t make Lions as a regular before being traded to Collingwood as “steak knives” in the Beams deal
There is so many examples of players making their second club opportunity count

Our first Mark since Roo right?
Yeah, ROB keeps dropping them.
Kind of funny that we picked up two former Pies in one preseason!
Best of luck to him. We desperately need someone with his size and athleticism to work out down back, and he's the right age now, so he'll have every opportunity to show us what he can do! Good to see his partner is moving over as well. Caoimhe, which is apparently pronounced Kwee-va?
Edit: Also, I know Australia has no leg to stand on when it comes to making fun of silly names, but his club in Ireland was called "Ballygiblin"? That has to be a made-up name

Someone’s hacked my account, I can’t even rennet posting thatNo, that's Harry.
Started after Roo but finished before him.
I once bought a pack of Balfours party pies and half of them had no filling so I wrote to Balfours and all I got was a $5 Coles gift card which wasn't even enough to buy a new pack of them..... Plus the nearest Coles to our house was a 20 minute driveFailed Pie?
Now this! ... is a failed Pie.
You and your continued diatribe on these boards are boring. It requires no insight or consideration to automatically assume a negative position on everything the club does.
You've not seen him play yet. We could've signed Tom Stewart as the McAsey replacement and you would complain. Have a spell.

You guys should be pleased. Seriously he is a very good pick up for the Crows.
He's quick and tough with a hard edge to him. He takes the game on and is an attacking defender. Not a bad kick either.
The only knock I have on him after watching nearly all his VFL games is that he is a bit raw and can make some errors decision wise etc. All he needs is more experience and game time for an Irish guy learning the game.
Make no mistake - he was earmarked to be in Collingwood's best 22 as a key back last year. The club had put 2 years in development, and he was ready to be a regular senior player in 2022 and take Roughead's spot. His handful of senior games in 2021 were ok and he had some really good moments.
It will be tough on him to shine after missing 12 months of footy and also having just a 1 yr contract to prove himself.
I'm disappointed he is not back with Collingwood.
Good luck to him and I hope he does well in 2023.

What happened with Collingwood? Were they not interested in getting him back or couldn't due to list spots/TPP? Or did Crows just made a better offer?
Amusingly Pies board think we were dumb to not have Frampton instead of Keane.
Some seem to think that too many bridges were burned for Keane to return to the Pies
