But the fact is that Sydney
And Richmond have had combines in Nina and Atlone.
in the last month or so, maybe month, month and a half, uh where they have gathered some of the best in Sydney's case that were younger than what was brought to Atlone for Richmond, by my understanding.
Uh so clubs individually now and Richmond would not have been a club that would have pursued
Irish players with any great vigour, uh I think I'm right in saying John Heslin spent some time down there, he came back and Jamie O'Reilly from down.
They would have been the only two.
Sydney obviously have had Colin O'Reardan and they've had
Ty Canelli as well.
So uh that's that's of interest that clubs are now seem to be going it alone.
The AFL did have
Did have a vehicle here for some time where there was kicking sessions and they brought players in that they thought there was local agents on the ground here who
brought players in for kicking sessions and scouts came over and communally looked at them together.
And and look a lot of other clubs operate on a on a single entity basis.
There would be scouts and people feeding in information back to the clubs.
Uh quite a number of clubs would have individuals on the gl ground here and they don't go through combines in that regard.
They they make individual contact and they they operate that way.
But I always think as many that go out
will come back and the numbers have all backed up that.
Now maybe that's going to change in the next few years.
But from what I've I've seen at eighteen, it has never it has never surpassed twenty.
