Player Watch Anton Tohill (Retired 2021)

[Kirby]

There's no welcome post so I thought I would have a go.

Don't know a hell of a lot about him but he's 198cm, son of a legend and came 12th in Buckley's kick test.

I don't believe he is related to Mr O'Reilly from Fawlty Towers.

Here's some news on him (and it helps to read it with an Irish accent):

Not sure helpful it will actually be but its good that he's already got some footy pedigree.

We all know Kevin Sheahan could sell ice to an Eskimo but this sounds promising too

AFL Draft boss Kevin Sheahan said that Anton was “so natural with his ball drop, runs 2.95 for 20m and has a lovely running gait. He’s probably more a key position option than a ruckman.”

I don't believe he is related to Mr Riley from Fawlty Towers.

Here's some more on him...
https://www.breakingnews.ie/sport/o...good-showing-in-afl-draft-combine-874134.html
“Footy is for me, I want to give it a good crack” Tohill told AFL.com.au.
“I want to do the best I can and do whatever I can to play professional footy. We've set up training sessions in Ireland with Marty Clarke and Colm Begley, so we're getting great exposure with the ball.
AFL Draft boss Kevin Sheahan has described 6’6’’ Tohill Jnr as a “chip off the block” who looks “so natural with his ball drop, runs 2.95 for 20m and has a lovely running gait. He’s probably more a key position option than a ruckman.”

Did you mean MR O'Reilly from Fawlty Towers (Farty Towels)?

 

[jackcass]

I love these free hits. Hopefully he makes a go of it.

Good luck to him, good to have a bit of Irish around the place.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Good luck to you, Anton.

Now hit the gym.

Oops, yes!

I amended my initial post.

 

[barrackers]

Seems to be a continuation of our recent strategy to recruit talls from outside the system instead of late in draft.

Good way to go when we don’t have early picks or don’t rate those available early.

An Irish Callum Brown also signed with GWS. We could have had a repeat of Andrew Hill x2.
