Kennelly happier with AFL recruiting

Former Sydney Swan and All-Ireland winner Tadgh Kennelly stated the AFL’s recruitment in Ireland has changed for the better.

Mayo minor All-Ireland-winning captain Stephen Coen was among 22 young GAA players at the AFL Europe Combine in Dublin City University on Saturday, where Kennelly dubbed the previous method of recruiting players as “filthy”.

“I just really wanted to centralise the whole thing. When I was away and over there and I heard clubs doing things behind backs and it was all back door,” he said.
