Conor Nash is set to play his 100th AFL game for Hawthorn this morning.

The former Meath football underage player and Leinster and Ireland rugby prospect will become only the eighth Irish recruit to reach the milestone when he lines out against Essendon at the MCG. Nash made his 99th appearance against the Sydney Swans last weekend in what is his ninth season with the Hawks.

"It's pretty special," the 26-year-old told the club’s website.

"I think I've said before, it's not a huge milestone for the Aussies but for myself and coming from my background back home in Ireland, it's something I'm pretty proud of.

"I know everyone else at home in Ireland is pretty proud as well. I've enjoyed it, I don't like all the fanfare but I appreciate the love."

 

The man from Ireland will line up for game 100 tomorrow ⭐️

Go well, Nashy! 🍀
