Eager Walsh poised to make Saints debut

KERRY All-Ireland winner Tommy Walsh looks set to make his competitive Aussie Rules debut next month.

The former young footballer of the year has been earning rave reviews for his efforts in training since joining St Kilda on a two-year international rookie contract in October and coach, Ross Lyon is anxious to see how he fares in first-team action.

With that in mind, the 21-year-old who “physically, is capable of doing anything” has been tipped to be left off the leash in the pre-season NAB Cup against Collingwood on February 19.
