Conor McKenna, a former All-Ireland winner from Tyrone, is set to play in the AFL Grand Final with the Brisbane Lions against the Sydney Swans, aiming to become only the second Irish player to win both an All-Ireland title and an AFL Premiership. McKenna's journey has been hampered by injuries this season, limiting his starts and relegating him to a substitute role, although he recently made impactful contributions in the finals. Despite his personal challenges, McKenna emphasizes his desire to win for his long-standing teammates who have endured tough seasons. He is known for his laid-back demeanor off the field, but remains fiercely competitive in games. In addition to his football career, McKenna has also developed a passion for horse racing in Australia, expanding his interests beyond sports. His upcoming match at the MCG is expected to draw significant attention, as he seeks to make history alongside Tadhg Kennelly.
