Biggest fan so proud as Sheehan wows on debut

On Saturday, former Cork star Ciarán Sheehan made his senior debut — incredibly playing all four quarters — for Carlton Blues in their victory against Gold Coast at Etihad Stadium.

And as he was showered with praise and bubbly in the aftermath it was obvious that Sheehan’s star is on the rise in the famed Melbourne club, and in the League as a whole.
