I assume developing Irish recruits takes more resources than developing kids who grow up playing Australian football. With soft cap limits, the club would have to determine where its development dollars are best spent. I suspect that at the moment we can't see the value proposition of Irish recruits. It's a pity, but if that's the reason I can fully understand it.

    Pretty sure they both signed with Geelong and St Kilda respectively 

    The pair who trialled at Melbourne and some other clubs in October were Eoin McEvoy (County Derry) and Davy Colbert (County Dublin). Bith tested well at the combines and are elite Gaelic footballers while McEvoy is a top line young rugby player. Both tested well at the draft combine but as yet, have not signed on to play AFL in 2025.

    You are thinking of two other Irish players. Geelong signed Cillian Burke of Kerry as a Category B rookie in late October while St Kilda similarly signed young Gaelic prodigy Eamonn Armstrong from County Meath last week.

    Suppose he decides not to continue on, what happens then?

    He’s not actually considering future mate

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
