Colin O’Riordan is smack bang in the middle of his pre-season at the moment with the Sydney Swans. “You’d be pretty naive or pretty stupid if you didn’t think that it wouldn’t bring added pressure,” acknowledged the JK Brackens man. “The chips are down for me and this year is going to be a big year and that’s the reality. “So you have to be realistic but at the same time you have to be ambitious and think you’re going to be here for five more years. I just want to play over here for as long as I can.”If it sounds like O’Riordan has privately consigned himself to inter-county retirement with Tipp, that’s not the case either.
