Conor Glass retains place in Hawthorn team to play Sydney after impressive debut

The Derry man was the second most drafted-in player in AFL Fantasy Football this week following his impressive debut versus Fremantle.

FORMER DERRY MINOR captain Conor Glass has retained his place in Hawthorn’s team for the weekend following his impressive debut against Fremantle.

The 22-year-old completed a team-high 93% of his 15 disposals, claiming eight intercepts and five marks during his maiden outing in which the Hawks dismantled the Dockers, and will feature once more when the in-form Sydney Swans come to town tomorrow night (Saturday morning Irish time).

Those 15 disposals compare favourably with Glass’ fellow Irish debutantes throughout AFL history; Jim Stynes had five, Zac Tuohy three, Pearse Hanley 10, Conor McKenna four and Tadhg Kennelly eight (per World Footy News).

Following the game, the Hawthorn players formed a circle around Glass in the dressing room, producing a rousing rendition of team song before rubbing the Derry man’s foxy locks in unison – for good luck, perhaps. His performance was sufficient to be named in an unnamed side for the visit of the Swans.

Incidentally, he’s also been the second most drafted-in player in AFL Fantasy Football this week, per their official site.
