The Monday Club podcast: Are the NFL and AFL friends or foes to the GAA?

We are back with another top episode of The Monday Club, a new GAA podcast from The Irish News.

On this week’s show, Neil Loughran is joined by Cahair O’Kane and Kenny Archer.

They chat about the AFL and how Australia can hold an irresistible attraction for young GAA players.

The panel look at the success stories for Irish players Down Under as well as those who haven’t made and pose the questions - can you really stand in someone’s way if they want to carve out a career in professional sport?

As well as Australia, the US has also become a destination for Gaelic footballers looking to follow in the footsteps of Charlie Smyth.

Gaelic football goalkeepers throughout Ireland are being sought out for their kicking prowess and for those who make it, a lucrative career in the NFL could be on the cards.

Also on this week’s episode, we look at attempts to make players and management more visible and there’s praise for Kieran McGeeney whose post-match performances are almost more entertaining than the games.
