It would be great to have that Irish connection again.

It may as well be me: have a look over on the Club's 'distaff' side, sam! 😄

But I know what you mean 👍

    I have no doubt he'll select Brisbane purely because of the Irish connection already on their list.

    Tough list to crack into for a game imho - plus might be too hot up in Vegas for an Irishman

    Am I being optimistic - perhaps but hopefully the Legend of the great Jimmy Stynes might influence his decision

    For an awful moment I thought this was a Tom McdDonald father-son selection coming up in the next few seasons. I'm sure I saw the a couple of little blonde munchkins climbing on him back during the Covid hubs, and I not ready for the implications of them already being teenagers!

    Is there actually room on our list for this guy, we would have to move AMW onto the A rookie list as we would have 3 cat B rookies otherwise, O. Berry, AMW and McDonald. With only 5 spots across the list to fill 7, 8 and 37, rookie White and Sinemma, we would only use 7 and 8 and forgo pick 37 (on-trade for a future F2nd) or use it on White maybe. Not sure how they will make it work. Making LSP a misnomer.

    I made some enquiries with a contact in Ireland who says he’s a promising player, midsized at around 178cm. I still am amazed that the MFC which pioneered the recruitment of Gaelic footballers and had such great early success with Jim Stynes and Sean Wight subsequently completely abandoned the project.

    Just to add to that, just got in contact with someone very well connected at Kode’s county ( Mayo) level who’s opinion I have massive respect for.

    “just turned 18 , lightening fast , brilliant in the air and can kick with both feet … prob best prospect to come out of mayo ever”

    Very strong praise from someone who wouldn’t give it lightly. I’d be delighted if we picked him up🤞

    Some of them hate the heat. I wouldn't lock Brisbane in.

    I mean I suppose it wouldn’t be a shock if he went to St Kilda considering that’s where half the Irish start off at when they come out here( myself included). Be a shame though as it sounds like he has a lot of potential.

    AMW is not a cat B rookie anymore.

    Damn. Irish players can turn into pretty good players.

    At least we're showing an interest again.

    A weird side note is that Jack Steele, as captain and all-round good guy, was probably part of the wooing effort until a few weeks ago.

    I agree Jack but the reason we pioneered it was because, as Dick Seddon explained, it was a cheap recruitment option. Unlike interstate or inter club recruiting, we had no opposition and there were no transfer fees to be paid. Perfect for a club with no dough!

    But I agree, it's disappointing to see how much other clubs have benefitted and how far we have dropped off the pace.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.
