Sources: AFL Tables, AustralianFootball.com Mark Keane (born 17 March 2000) is an Irish professional Australian rules footballer who plays for the Adelaide Football Club after previously playing for the Collingwood Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). Keane grew up in Ireland and played Gaelic football before making a code switch to Australian rules football. ## AFL career[edit] Keane joined Collingwood as a Category B rookie in 2018 after a two-week trial at the club.[1] He made his debut in the club's round 9 match in the 2020 AFL season against Fremantle, where the Magpies lost by 12 points.[2] In January 2022, Keane left Collingwood and the AFL,[3] before ultimately returning to Australia and signing with Adelaide. ## GAA career[edit] Keane returned to Ireland in 2020 and was brought on as a substitute for Cork against Kerry in the 2020 Munster Senior Football Championship. He scored the late goal that knocked Kerry out of the competition, in what was described as "one of the biggest upsets in recent championship history... a strike so late it had eerie echoes of Tadhg Murphy's 1983 goal at the same end of the ground that similarly put Kerry out of the championship".[4][5] ## Statistics[edit] Statistics are correct to the end of the 2021 season[6] Legend | Goals | | Kicks | | Disposals | | Tackles | | | | | | | | Behinds | | Handballs | | Marks Season | Team | No. | Games | Totals | Averages (per game) | | | | | G | B | K | H | D | M | T | G | B | K | H | D | M | T 2019 | Collingwood | 47 | 0 | — | — | — | — | — | — | — | — | — | — | — | — | — | — 2020[a] | Collingwood | 47 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 1 | 7 | 1 | 2 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 5.0 | 1.0 | 7.0 | 1.0 | 2.0 2021 | Collingwood | 11 | 4 | 0 | 1 | 31 | 25 | 56 | 23 | 1 | 0.0 | 0.3 | 7.8 | 6.3 | 14.0 | 5.8 | 0.3 Career | 5 | 0 | 1 | 36 | 27 | 63 | 24 | 3 | 0.0 | 0.2 | 7.2 | 5.4 | 12.6 | 4.8 | 0.6 Notes 1. ^ The 2020 season was played with 17 home-and-away matches per team (down from 22) and 16-minute quarters with time on (down from 20-minute quarters with time on) due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. ## References[edit] 1. ^ "Pies lock in Irish youngsters".
