THE TEENAGER voted Ireland's best young Gaelic footballer will train with St Kilda later this month as he weighs up a possible move to the AFL.

Forward Tommy Walsh, 19, was last month named the Gaelic Athletic Association's young footballer of the year, so the news that the amateur Irish code could lose him to the AFL is expected to cause consternation in his homeland.

Now It would be foolish of the St.Kilda FC not to offer these Irish recruits the best package they can! This Tommy Walsh sound like we are on the right track.

I only hope that we dont let the Pies and Tigers rain on our Parade!!!!!

Under AFL rules, if a club reaches an agreement with an Irish player, the club can nominate them ahead of the rookie draft, guaranteeing they are able to recruit them to their rookie list.


Does anyone know if a club nominate MORE THAN ONE irish player and still guarantee they are able to recruit them to their rookie list.

No you are wrong. "Training" means nothing.

Any club can grab him.

All that counts is who signs him first.

Oops sorry..that should be:

Nahh he kin bee nee 1s
