Jamir O'Reilly was recently promoted to Richmond Tigers' senior roster. He was one of bthe fastest & most skillfull forwards in Down last season, he certainly didnt rely on brute strength.

I also read that Conor Meredeth waws doing ok.

A lot of lads have had a go & returned, Tohill, Clarke, Shields, Begley, Aisake, Donnelly, Coney. Any others?

If your mentioning Tohill I'd add Corkery and Brian Stynes

Blu, Coney didn't actually go as far as I am aware. I think he changed his mind, I could be wrong and he may have went for a week or two.

Judging by the hysteria coming from GAA officials there must be at least 5000 Irish lads over there, all captive slaves of course. Oddly enough, since Nicky Brennan left high office the drama seems to have died down.

Could be doing a "Kennelly" Dell and go back after he gets his AI Medal.

It will be interesting to see which of the guys with Aussie rules experience will Tohill have in his squad. For me Kennelly, Clarke, O'hAilpin and Walsh will be picked.... maybe Begley as well

county man, pick up a ball and try and kick it the way the aussies are able to do it, Its a hard skill on its own to master.

Good analysis Floops-thanks.

Anyone expect Paul Galvin to be on the Irish team in the IR?

Fair enough Bosch there is a skill in that but where would the likes of Gooch & Dooher for example be in Aussie Rules? It's one of the very few sports where height & strength is more important than skill.

County Man - Why don't you start watching some before you make comments like that....Look at the likes of Cyril Rioli, Lewis Jetta, Eddie Betts, Brad Johnson, Stevie Milne, Hayden Ballantyne, Stevie Baker, Jimmy Bartel etc etc as just some examples of small players.....
