Bio
Recruited from County Cork, Liam O'Connell arrived at Moorabbin with a unique advantage over most Irish converts, having already spent several years of his childhood living in Perth where he was exposed to the code. Signed as a Category B rookie ahead of the 2024 season, he served a standard apprenticeship in the VFL with Sandringham before earning his AFL debut in the opening round of 2025 against Adelaide. An athletic hybrid defender who can also operate on a wing, O'Connell is characterised by his closing speed, tackling intent, and ability to break lines rather than high accumulation. His maiden campaign yielded seven games and was interrupted by a significant concussion early in the season, but his rapid adaptation to the tempo of senior football warranted a contract extension, positioning him as a developing versatility option in St Kilda's backline.
