No rush with Kingdom hero Walsh, insists St Kilda chief

ST KILDA chief executive Michael Nettlefold has admitted that the AFL side expects great things from Tommy Walsh – but not in the immediate future.

The former Young Footballer of the Year’s switch to the oval code has generated huge interest in Ireland and in Australia and there was even talk of the Kerry man being pitched in for his new club’s first pre-season game last month.

That didn’t transpire and Nettlefold’s reasoning explains why.
