Arena with Maurice Brosnan: Inside Irish AFL scouting and the prospect of an AFLW team

This week on Arena, we explore the growing influence of Irish
players in the AFLW and ask whether the rise of Irish talent
could one day lead to an Irish-based AFLW team.


 


From the league’s early years, when Irish women helped fill a
relatively shallow talent pool, to today’s competition where they
are among the standout performers in a fully professional
environment, the Irish impact on the AFLW has been remarkable.


 


Talent ID and skills coach Mike Currane joins the podcast to
discuss the future of Irish players Down Under, why they have
adapted so successfully to the game and what their success means
for the GAA and LGFA at home.


 


Arena, from the Irish Examiner, is a weekly feature-style
reflection on Irish sport. Listen free on the Irish Examiner
