Kerry's Tommy Walsh breaks away from Kevin McGuckin of Derry during the NFL Division 1 final at Croke Park
Essendon's Michael Walsh has warned Kerry ace Tommy Walsh that he could struggle in Aussie Rules if he decides to leave the GAA because he is too big! The current Young Footballer of the Year is only 21, but former Longford minor star Quinn believes he could find the going tough if he decides to join St. Kilda later this year. He told the Irish Sun: "Tommy came out to Australia for a trial with St. Kilda last November, but any number of GAA players would have done the same thing if they had been offered free flights and accommodation after the All-Ireland. "Tommy's a great player but Australian Rules is more suited to shorter, quicker players. "I don't think Tommy will want to leave the GAA, but if he does he might struggle, because in his early 20s, he would be starting his AFL career late."
