Replying To ValPadden:  "Roarty will be a big loss to Donegal and the GAA. Is it the money or the experience that's turning the players heads? Climate may be a consideration too. Sunshine beats wind and rain."
Its a no brainer for young lads to go.
They will be full time athletes with little to no financial output as accommodation/flights/food/travel expenses covered.

To be honest I hope more go because it'll finally show up the GAA that we have have been treating our players poorly for far too long.

It'd need to be a serious wage to be listening to Aussies non stop 12 months of the year. I wouldn't do it for 500k nevermind anything less.

€25 admission fee with zero concessions for students or OAPs is stupid business sense.

Connacht club championship matches last year which is level above any county final was 15€ to attend. And a level above that again the Roscommon v Galway Senior Connacht final in Dr Hyde back in May students and OAPs could attend for 20€

An opportunity to play professional sport appeals to many young athletes. The money wouldn't be hectic for any of the young players heading over, but the possibility of doing well is there. It's a challenge which people want to try, and see how it goes. They'll be less likely to get the opportunity again at oan oder age.
It can open other opportunities too. Colin O'Riordan is coaching over there now.

Replying To MonaghanMan44life:  "Emyvale must be the biggest flops in Monaghan football. The talent in that group and they constantly underperform"
Bit harsh on their performances this year...

Only up from junior (whether or not they should have been in junior is a different story) finished 3rd in league and beating by the eventually winners in the knockouts (correct me if wrong)

Semi final in championship against Donaghmoyne, and the game turned in a matter of seconds. 2 county men on the bench who weren't fit for a full match which easily could have tipped game in their favour.

I'd say overall they'll be relatively happy with their season.

Replying To WeGoAgain:  "That's the spirit!!
Why no Langan, is that injury he came off with a few weeks back worse than it looked?"
According to some , his injury is worse than initially thought. That could be hearsay though. Hope it is.
