2013 Forecast:

2013 looms as a defining season for Zach Tuohy. He is playing under a coach in Malthouse who has experienced the highs and lows of the Irish experiment having coached Marty Clarke into becoming one of the more surprising impact players several years ago at the Pies. Sadly, Clarke decided to return home to Ireland before we got to see his peak - but has since returned after Malthouse left the Pies. I would expect Malthouse to determine which position Tuohy is best suited at at the AFL level - whether that is as a sweeping defender or as a half forward with his goal scoring ability. As the club have a number of promising young players coming through at both of the positions Tuohy has been primarily played at, Tuohy risks being superfluous to list requirements if he has a poor season. I hope that is not the case as I'm a fan of his pure abilities and developing ruggedness.

Welcome to Carlton.

First steps in long journey at Carlton

VFL next year, but Tuohy has the ability to make an impact in his first season.

"Carlton first contacted me when I was 17, but I was probably a bit young to come over," Tuohy said yesterday.

"But I've matured a bit. Everything's come together and I think it's the right time."

Tuohy spent a month with the Blues last season, striking up a friendship with compatriot Setanta O'hAilpin.

"Setanta's pretty big news back home. He's a big deal," Tuohy said.

"He invited me around for dinner last time."

Re: Zach Tuohy - International Rookie (Ireland)

We all knew it was happening but Zach today officially became a Carlton Footballer. :thumbsu:

Height: 187cm
Weight: 91kg
DOB: 10/12/89
Recruited from: County Laois

From County Laois, near Dublin, in Ireland as an international rookie. Caught the eye of Blues recruiters after excellent performances at junior level in Gaelic football. Has a strong body and likely to be used as an on-baller/defender with the Northern Bullants. Has coped with the rigours of his first pre-season extremely well.

Bit of a surprise that his skills are as good as they are. Will still need time to adapt to this style of game. Watched him waltz through a congested pack and on getting to the other side unscathed was a little slow in getting rid of the ball and was crunched. It would have been very impressive if he had got his disposal off.

I could go on, but i really want to make mention of Touhy. Cant beleive that was his first game! Looked like he belonged. Great disposal, great team man, knows where to run. I was Amazed. Honestly, on Todays performance, he could push for a spot as early as next year.

Wow. Composure, sure hands, a great kicking technique, confidence and amazing balance. Zac is a better and more polished version of an early Marty Clarke. If he can develope as quickly as Clarke did, I can't see any reason why he cannot become an AFL player. Well suited to a BP type role.

The 19 year old Irishman is built like Hodge or Hunt.

Don't know much on him but he might get a gig soon.It amazes me his developing more quicker then Tiller and O'Keeffe already.
 
army i a very under-rated. he is good at rebounding the ball, and he is great at winning the ball but i worry every time he tries to get rid of it. Hopefully Tuohy goes well! i heard he played well for Nrth Bullants? :footy:

he did by all reports...I didn't go this week, but the week before he had some good moments as well....not afraid to take them on and back himself......in time I'd like to see him build up his tank and spend some time in the guts.
 
Blue kids on the block
As Zach is into the first of his two-year arrangement with the club, he is clear in his objectives for 2010 and beyond.

“I want to play as much consistent footy in the [Bullants] ones as I can for a proportion of the year, and in my second year I’d like to think I’d be one of the top rookies they [Carlton] would consider elevating.” He said.

“If that’s not the case I’d feel pretty flat about it.”
