Irish Influx
We have just recruited two Irishmen to the club. Cian McBride and Ross McQuillan.
Welcome to the club boys and good luck with your endeavours to play AFL footy.

Both seem like handy pick-ups with McBride at 197cm and fairly quick and McQuillan with speed, aggression and most importantly good foot skills.

Re: Irish Influx
At this rate, Ireland will, in the not too distant future, be able to field a fully fledged AFL team in the international series....forget the stupid combined rules. Yes they would get flogged, today. But in 10 years time who knows?
Re: Irish Influx
Maybe.
They might have to get in the queue though,behind any Indigenous team that might have a team of their own,but such a prospect would seem very unlikely,I’m afraid.

County Cork is the new Wimmera district.

Bet they can kick the ball better than 90% of our list.
