We have put a query in with the Carlton Football Club regarding Michael Shields, but he has been given permission to keep training with the club, and it looks like he might yet be rookie listed, according to an article in the Herald Sun:

"CARLTON is expected to lodge paperwork this morning offering young Irishman Michael Shields a two-year international rookie contract. Shields, 20, a running player from County Cork, impressed the Blues coaches during a three-week trial this month".

And the AFL website has confirmed that Brendan Quigley was unable to make it out in time for a trial due to finishing off his apprenticeship. And will not be adding him as a rookie this year. They have not ruled out trialling him again in the future.
