Just on SEN. Said he will play the year out and call it quits at the end. He has been a fantastic servant of the club and it will be sad for him to go.

on sen this morning that melbourne and north melbourne are merging in 2011. Stynes and Eugene Arocca have come to an agreement that both these struggling clubs are in need of money and merging is the most appropriate option. A lot of players face the chopping block because of this: In my opinion, Lynden Dunn, Mark Jamar, Clint Bartram, Jake Spencer (Gold Coast) will go by the end of the year.

I can't belive some people think this is not true. It was announced on SEN last night. I think its a great move by the club. He is a young man and hopefully O'hAilpin will be able to recruit a talented irishman in the near future.

Setanta O'hAilpin today retired from the Carlton football club due to personal/attitude problems. He consequently was offered a position as Head of Irish relations as the Melbourne Football Club. This role involves helping Melbourne recruit Irish young stars from Ireland. I think this is great news. The below article explains: Setanta O'hAilpin Retires Greg Denham| November 7th 1:32PM Blues tall utility Setanta O’hAilpin today announced his retirement from football due to attitude problems. O’hAilpin, 25, was told by specialists this week that he should retire from all forms of sport, such was the condition of his attitude. Dr Jason Barnes described O’hAilpin’s attitude problem as being the “degeneration of the mind as a result of previous mental problems when he was young”. O’hAilpin, who told his teammates of his decision before training earlier this week, thanked the club for the opportunities he’d been given since being drafted. “My attitude has not held up to the rigours of being on an AFL list and has degenerated rapidly,” O’hAilpin explained. “I have seen specialists in Sydney and Melbourne and all the medical professionals are telling me to stop playing football to prevent further serious damage to the brain. “I love the club, I’ve made a lot of friendships and I’ll always be thankful for the experiences over the last four-and-half years at the Carlton Football Club. But unfortunately I won’t be able to continue to pursue my dream of playing AFL. O’hAilpin was drafted in the rookie draft in 2003 as a long-term project from Ireland. After strong performances in the VFL for the Northern Bullants O’Hailpin was placed on Carlton's senior list in 2006. This year was his fifth year at the club and managed a total of 46 games and 18 goals. High Performance Manager Justin Cordy said the club felt for O’hAilpin. “We’re disappointed for Setanta because he’s an outstanding young man,” Cordy said. “He has worked really hard with the entire coaching staff to develop as a Key Backman. “The decision he’s made is out of absolute necessity to give himself the best chance of being able to live an active life in the future so we certainly wish him well.” O’hAilpin immediately after announcing his retirement expressed his interest in working in the International Relations sector of a AFL club. The Melbourne Football Club today announced the appointment of Setanta O’hAilpin as head of Irish relations. This position will benefit the Melbourne Football Club immensely and will allow them to get hold of some of rare Irish talent. O’hAilpin said: “I am very excited about my appointment and hopefully I can bring down some top Irish talent to the Melbourne Football Club. President Jim Stynes was extremely pleased with the signing of Setanta. “I am looking very forward to Setanta getting some Irish talent down to the club as I as a fellow Irishmen would love for the club to get hold of some Irish talent. Stynes hinted at the fact to recruit key position prospects. Setanta will start his job as of next week. FAIRFAX MEDIA good news i reckn! what are your thoughts?

he used to play for the coburg tigers and melbourne showed interest in him many years ago in the draft his dad isnt of major relevance. its just justin is the kind of player we need and he himself goes for melbourne so it would be his dream to play for us!

there is a guy named Justin Tyler who is the next big thing in football. hes in yr 10 at caulfield grammar and is a teen sensation. he is already 190cm and is a quick runner. he is a fast leading strong marking forward who will be an afl player in the future. btw he is the son of George
