Wonderful to see Zach get a senior game, his form has well warranted it.

Unleash the Laoisman!!!!! (or is that unlaois the leashman? I don't know, it all sounds the same).

Wear the navy blue with pride son.

But, I note that according to the AFL site Zach is elevated because Mitchell needs more work on his shoulder:

Tuohy's elevation comes at the expense of Mitchell once again, with the former Calder Cannon requiring further surgery on the same shoulder, which has seen him returned to the long-term injury list.

Given they gave Mitchell a run last week, it sounds like something went wrong. I'm getting worried about the chronic shoulder issues. Anyone know more?

It's great news, and we're all looking forward to his debut.

Gratz to Zach!

Hope he has an awesome game.

Did he get a ring in that preso with Ratts as well as the jumper?

Good luck on Sunday Zach.

Interesting article by Tony de Bolfo on carltonfc.com.au and now reproduced on the Blueseum:

If you focus on Irishmen and county of birth, Zach will be the first Irishman born in Ireland to play for over 100 years!

Setanta was born in Sydney, and Carlton's attempts at bringing over other Irish players - from Corkery to Aisake to Michael Shields - haven't met with success....

This game will mark the first time for almost 20 years where two Irishmen have been part of the one team.

Last time was against Carlton...which 2 Irishmen played against us in 1992?
