Rob Monahan and Matt Duffy are both heading to Australia for pre-season later this year.
EMERGING GAA TALENTS in Kerry and Longford are bound for the AFL after signing deals with Carlton Blues as international rookies.
A statement on the team’s website reads that the club scouted the pair during a “recent trip to Ireland.” “Whilst a standout in high-level Gaelic football, Monahan has also excelled at hurling and rugby, displaying an impressive multi-faceted skillset that will transfer well to the AFL.” The club statement describes Duffy as a “running machine” who won a 2km at the Irish trials. He becomes the second Longford native to sign for an AFL team following Mickey Quinn who joined Essendon in 2008.— Carlton FC August 17, 2023
