Mark O’Connor thrilled by Geelong call-up
The 20-year-old Dingle native has been upgraded from Geelong’s rookie list to the senior squad for tomorrow’s round eight tie against Essendon at the MCG in Melbourne (10.25am Irish time).
O’Connor joined the Cats last October and only made his debut for the club in the Victorian Football League on April 16. His has been quite the rise given he has lined out in just four reserve games. O’Connor’s promotion to the top tier coincides with the long-term injury sustained by midfielder Brandan Parfitt.
