He looks good does young Brophy, he's a serious size of a lad for a first year Irish rookie. He's putting up good numbers in the WAFL with East Perth so it definitely wouldn't surprise me if he debuted at some point this year, especially given the Eagles seem to have seriously hacked off the injury gods.
In other Irish news:
P. Hanley is 3-4 weeks away from returning, most probably after the Lions' bye. Will be great to see him out on the park again. C. Hanley won't play this year but his recovery is seemingly going well and he is back running.
Byrne will hopefully be back next week and will most likely play one or two in the reserves before getting another AFL shot but I expect him to play a lot in the second half of the season as Carlton are bloody awful at the moment.
Not such good news on Sheehan. He hasn't been seen since week 1 of the NAB which is over 2 months ago now. He's been listed as 1-2 weeks away on the Carlton injury list for the last 6 weeks and rumours (BigFooty so take with appropriate levels of salt) abound that he needs/needed surgery on a dodgy groin. Not sure why Carlton are reluctant to expand on his injury.
Tuohy has been plugging away in an under siege Carlton backline and has been going well considering, although he was average enough at the weekend. He's up to 50+ consecutive games now which is great going.
Sean Hurley played his first senior Peel Thunder (Freo reserves) game at the weekend which is good progress. Didn't get much of it but he was playing as a KPD so not really surprising. Hopefully he can hold his spot there for the year now.
Padraig Lucey played his best game for the year for the Geelong reserves against Collingwood at the weekend and kicked 4 goals. He's definitely not physically developed enough to compete consistently in the ruck but his contested marking as a forward is excellent for a rookie and his kicking is very efficient. The full game is up on the Collingwood youtube page if anyone fancies a look.0 -

Sheehan confirmed to be having an operation on his groin and will probably miss the rest of the season. Terrible luck really when he would have played probably every game this year on the back of his 2014 form. Hopefully no lasting damage and he can return better in 2016 (on the assumption he'll be kept on, I'd be 90% sure he will be regardless of the injury)
Gutted for him

Sean Hurley is doing pretty well for a first year player. Started off in the Peel Reserves but was bumped up to Peel during the season.
From the Fremantle Website:What the coach says (Marc Webb): He’s made the adjustment and been fantastic in the way he’s adapted since coming from Ireland. Zac Dawson has taken him under his wing with the potential of Sean being a defender
Coz the world needs another Zac Dawson
:cool:
Ah no, seriously, he (Hurley) is supposed to have taken very well to life over there in WA. Would be great to see another Irish AFL player break through!0 -
