Meet the international class of 2010

This is a great story in international footy.
It demonstrates that even the 'club first' people now are starting to appreciate the international dimension.
This was apparent in the 1980s during Barassi's Irish Experiment at Melbourne, which produced Brownlow Medallist Jim Stynes and 150 game player Sean Wight for Melbourne.
While Barassi had a larger vision of the international future - he had after all captained the Galahs when they beat the Irish, and when they played in Rumania, London and New York in the 1960s - others were only convinced when it produced League players for their clubs. Sheedy too has been a visionary, having visited the US Championships.
Then the international delivered, now it is promising even more.
International footy has now made a great leap forward, one also becoming apparent at the last International Cup, both from the best moments of the Grand Final between NZ and PNG and the conversion of top football journo Mike Sheahan to the international future.
