Replying To Lockjaw: "While it's obviously disappointing from a Donegal supporter perspective, we can only wish Finnbarr the best in his adventure down under. When opportunities like this come your way in life, you simply have to take them or else you'll always have that "What if" thought in your head for the rest of your days. We were lucky the AFL never paoched Murphy. I can recall rumours about that possibility when Michael was younger." You're right surely Lock, I wish him the very best. It was like a punch in the stomach when I heard it this morning but when I got over that I can only hope the lad succeeds there. I'm sure he'll be back in the green and gold before too long, he's only a pup and please god has a long career ahead of him. I'd say it was Murphys choice not to head down under more than anything else, he seems like the kind of person who gets a nosebleed if he's away from his beloved county for too long.

Replying To eddieSize5Balls: "No Roarty, maybe no Langan and Murphy next year. Probably Jim's last season. Could be a bad one." That's the spirit!! Why no Langan, is that injury he came off with a few weeks back worse than it looked? WeGoAgain (Donegal) - Posts: 230 - 14/10/2026 20:36:34 2697339 Link
Replying To jacktheboy: "Its a wonder they dont look for Langan" I think Langan is a fair few years too old at this stage. Im nearly i sure remember when Gallagher was over us, Eoin ban and a few of them went down for trials or whatever but nothing came off it. Langan would be around that age bracket.

I remember Niall Moyna telling the story at a function in Letterkenny one night of how they took him out to the big open fields in North County Dublin to help him get over his home sickness when he moved to DCU first! peiledoir20 (Donegal) - Posts: 1752 - 14/10/2026 20:44:47 2697343 Link
The GAA will be under pressure with all this AFL rubbish. What a superb talent, going down under. Unfortunately, there's virtually nothing to be done if we want to keep the amateur nature of our game intact RoyalStalwart24 (Meath) - Posts: 129 - 14/10/2026 21:05:14 2697347 Link
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. eddieSize5Balls (Donegal) - Posts: 482 - 15/10/2026 01:07:20 2697361 Link

Replying To panamasam: "Bad news from a Donegal perspective but an exciting adventure to look forward to for Finbarr himself. Best of luck to him. I wonder when initial contact was made with Finbarr. Personally speaking I don't think he was near the levels this year he set the previous year. The Under 20 semi final and Cork game come to mind in particular.....was this a factor? Outstanding player and a huge loss regardless but we've got away light compared to the likes of Kerry and even Mayo with Kobe and Mullin." Eh what Donegal player was at the levels of the previous year? Strange one to pick out the young man as if he dipped solo. TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 8942 - 15/10/2026 11:17:56 2697392 Link
