What's In A Name - Irish Mafia At Carlton

[Deep Blue]

Was expecting Ciaran Byrne (Irish rookie) to get a run in the seniors this year at Carlton - would have then made for seven unmistakably Irish surnames that have played in the Carlton senior team at some stage this year:

Buckley, Docherty, Murphy, Sheehan, Simpson, Tuohy

Almost forgot the daddy of 'em all Mr Chris O'Judd!

Whatever ethnic extraction it might be, is there any other team that can beat six <insert origin of ethnic surname here> players in the senior team in the same year?

 

[Illinois Nazi]

That's quite racist.

 

[Hipster Doofus]

Off-season already at Visy I see.

 

[Jaeger]

It's going to be another long off-season for the Bluebaggers.

 

[Topkent]

'Reads thread'

Some Joke about the offseason

 

[Kakkle]

Great thread.

 

[Deep Blue]

That's quite racist.

That's ironic.

 

[Illinois Nazi]

That's ironic.

Like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife.

Looking very homogenous down there at Seaford!

 

[I Lost My Keays]

North has a McMahon, McKenzie, McDonald and a MacMillan.

Scottish

 

[Black Diamond]

Interesting idea for a thread, however you might be overestimating how rare this is.

Scottish names at North

McDonald
Currie
McKenzie
Black
Macmillan
Petrie

All of these guys took the field in our round 3 win over Port Adelaide.

For interests sake, here are some more:

Irish names at North:

Brown
Harvey
Curran
McMahon

English names at North:

Wells
Swallow
Wright
Tippett
Turner
Atley

Keep in mind many of these names have overlapping origins i.e. part Scottish, part Irish.

We have that Italian-Englishman Watson. Need to liquidate the Essendon side of the family.

 

[JUBJUB]

Geelong has 17 players whose first name starts with J

Okay next useless info post.....

 

[settingthebarLOW]

Alex, Clancee, Danyle - a trifecta of Pearces.

Also, we have Duffmen (Duffy, Duffield)!

 

[Pusswah]

Maybe they'd be better off recruiting football players.

 

[Bowski]

The real question is which ethnicity best wears a hat?

 

[JohnnyFontane90]

That's quite racist.
