Irishmen don't fair well at AFL finals selection

Apparently O'hAilpin has been having blood clots in his calf, he I gather had an operation last year on one, and the other has flared up. He's struggled the last couple of weeks and that is the reason he's out.

From that, I gather that Carlton would've played him ahead of Cloke if fit, or, ahead of someone else at anyrate.

At their best this year, Carlton often had Setanta hitting up from the half forward line.....or,.....unfortunately getting too far under Fev!!

Yeah he had that problem last year. When he was omitted he was not listed as injured though and was listed as an emergency. So I guess if the calf problem has returned then it's a case of him being injured enough to affect his form and lose his spot, but not enough to be ruled out altogether. Academic now of course - hopefully he can get fit for next year.
