Walsh waxes lyrical about Australian adventure

TOMMY WALSH has admitted that the manner in which he ended up with St Kilda couldn’t have worked out better for him.

The ex-young footballer of the year had a trial with the Melbourne-based AFL club in 2008. It was too late for him to join the Saints though, so he returned home and won an All-Ireland with Kerry last September.

Crucially though, he also had time to think about whether he wanted to try something completely different and came to the conclusion that he might regret it if he didn’t.
