Interesting considering we are linked to another Irish prospect in Ben Murphy. Wonder if we are hoping to add 2 this off season?

Murphy sounds like he's a lock, we're just waiting until after the draft to list him.
The original report says McDonald only went to Melbourne when he was here. So I'd be surprised if it was us, and we'd have to upgrade another rookie to the main list to sign him.

Given we have just resigned Conor McKenna and Darragh Joyce it would be a nice little cluster of Paddies to help them settle in. Imagine the melts Ross will have if he comes to us instead of the Saints. something, something, Irish academy rorts, something, something, something.

Another of Gaelic football's rising stars is being linked with a move to a different code and hemisphere It's a big big blow to Mayo football if it transpires

I'm somewhat disappointed we haven't hit up the American College sports scene yet.

I've heard enough. Mason Cox you are a Brisbane Lion

The original article says he won't leave until after he finishes his "Leaving Cert" which I assume is equivalent to their year 12, which won't be until at least after June/July next year.

I imagine this means he'll join a list for 2027? I remember James Madden signed for us in mid August before the end of the season, for the next season.

There's a paranoid Saints fan on X whose been checking McDonalds instagram, as he only follows saints player no dees or lions, apparently hes pretty much already signed withSt. Kilda calm down champ

Is it too early to start an Irish Lions thread?

 

[Nathan Barley]

I like that hes got a bit of height. Don't really like going after these cat Bs that aren't that tall regardless of how quick they are

Yes, 191cm and appears fairly quick.
Berry 193cm and that's tall for a wing.
Players around Murphys height.
Doedee & Lester 190cm. Morris & Dunkley 191cm. Gardiner 192cm

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Signing is official now.

Lions get a boost with signing of star Irish teenager

Ben Murphy has become the third Irishman to join Brisbane

www.afl.com.au

"He has been a midfielder in Gaelic, though with his size and athletic profile it should allow him to play multiple roles at AFL level," said Lions scout Shane Rogers.

"He will start as a defender initially whilst he learns the game but has scope to develop craft across a number of lines and the ability to play wing long term.

"He stands at 191 centimetres and is growing, he has speed, has agility and an ability to read the game quickly.

"One of the attractive aspects of his recruitment is his calm demeanour, especially when under pressure within the game that allows him to make excellent decisions."

Sounds like a slightly taller James Madden.
