A quick update for fans following the fortunes of international players in the Australian Football League. They will have been hoping to see Irishman Setanta O'hAilpin get a recall to Carlton this week, and countryman Colm Begley play his first game for his second club, St Kilda. Similarly Canadian Mike Pyke who is close to making his AFL debut for Sydney.

Unfortuntately for all three players they will miss out this week (unless there are late changes), with them all named as emergencies for their clubs (meaning they can be called in if for example there is an injury before the match). Essendon's Michael Quinn has retained his spot in their side after his promising debut last week.

PNG's Stanis Susuve has been named as rover (on the ball) for the Gold Coast in their Round 2 TAC Cup match this weekend against Western Jets down in Victoria - the Coast's first away game. Starting on the ball indicates Susuve has clearly impressed in his short time with the new club.
