It's funny though - isn't it, that it's fully implicit that Clarke is bringing back the benefits of the professional environment, but, they (the Irish media) are stopping just that fraction short of admitting that guys returning from a stint in the AFL back to the GAA may actually have flow on benefits to the GAA.

I'd certainly suggest that more guys might return to the GAA from the AFL than from soccer and Rugby. Okay - just a hunch. But, those sports are luring the kids at school. Perhaps, just perhaps the GAA might be better off to provide a fraction more access to the AFL??

HA!!.....and entirely on topic, AFL a dumbed down field sport Irish journo goes to show that extracting praise or recognition might be impossible from some.

The obvious question is as to whether Conlon has any concept of banana kicks, torpedoes, the opposite curve along the ground........it's one thing to claim a skill based 'high ground', but, to just display absolute ignorance just makes a fool of the fellow.

Yeah I read this before our local media responded, it reads oddly that he gives no credit to the skills and thinking in our game then goes on to describe how Clarke has suddenly come up with a new skillset and way of playing the gaelic game - that for some reason he never had before going to Australia.
