Replying To eddieSize5Balls: "How's it rubbish? Getting paid well in a sunny country with lots to do is better than living in rural Donegal or Ireland as a whole. Most only go away for a few years anyway. He could very well be back within 2-3 years. Best of luck to him. Donegal got off lightly compared to other counties down the years. Could have lost Gallen too if memory serves me" I agree with the Meath poster, yes they are amateurs and its a great opportunity to play professional sport, but it still hurts when a County is losing a top talent. And living in Donegal is better than living in some outback snake, spider and croc infested wasteland from Mad Max. I'm not even on about just AFL scouts, like even the North Amercian scouts, like the two lads from Tyrone, who are constantly trying to bring over top players for the summer to the US.

Couldn't agree more. Wouldn't live in either oz or the US for a sizeable pension. There might be attractions for the younger generation but I'll take windswept and rainy rural donegal every day of the week. WeGoAgain (Donegal) - Posts: 232 - 16/10/2026 15:15:49 2697563 Link

Big loss, but best of luck to him on the new journey. Back to the drawing board for defensive shape without him. Would have been earmarked to slot in at CHB in coming years I'm sure SurelyToGod (Donegal) - Posts: 535 - 16/10/2026 15:21:35 2697564 Link
Replying To Whyme923: "Collingwood scout was in Ireland May time I think! Same scout who was with geelong that scouted Mullins from Mayo. The player criteria is there to be scouted especially this tagger role. Tasmania are putting in an afl team next year or following year and they've a free pick of getting a squad together ! Worrying times" Yes I heard this mentioned by Maurice Brosnan. Apparently Mullin took Collingwoods best player out of a game that they felt they needed the same. Happened that the scout in question had gone to Collingwood from Geelong too. panamasam (Australia) - Posts: 2972 - 16/10/2026 16:16:40 2697577 Link
