'Blank canvas' GAA players increasingly attractive to Aussie Rules clubs

Former North Melbourne and St Kilda midfielder Nick Dal Santo has pinpointed kicking ability alongside AFL-ready athleticism and conditioning for making GAA players increasingly attractive to Aussie Rules clubs, with many of the native products not possessing the same ball skills.

His comments come as a number of clubs are said to be interested in Tyrone All-Star Cathal McShane, with Adelaide leading the way. McShane will train with the Crows in the coming weeks in what is seen as a trial for both the club and player.
