Tom Browne reports that Bombers defender Conor McKenna will miss this weekend’s clash against the Suns, having been given permission by the club to attend a wedding in Ireland.
Browne understands the club has known about the wedding for some time and gave the Irish defender permission well in advance.
It’s understood he will not miss more than one game.
The Bombers star has been a huge part of the club’s season so far, playing in all 17 games.
Essendon currently sit seventh on the AFL ladder with 10 wins and seven losses.
I don’t mind it.
Loyalty works both ways, reckon he will be the last bloke to hand in a trade request
I will be bought in so much to that club all for one game of footy.
Irish families and weddings are a different beast to Aussie ones.
They wouldn't be doing it if they weren't playing the Suns. Simple as that and it's not like he can ask for a trade home!
Was booked and planned before the draw was done apparently, who knows if that’s true?
Will definitely miss him this week and we can’t just say “it’s only the Suns” as we have a tendency to drop these types of games
