When you are going for 5 in a row and the success seems to be continuing then its easy enough to stay and win trophies
Guaranteed part of history, life-time guarantee of fame and and the great opportunities that will come from that....easy to sell that over the limited chance of actually making it in Aussie rules.
But imagine how many Dubs youngsters will never get the chance to represent Dublin? To make the best 15 in any county is a great achievement but in the capital city with a million population is something else.
Other thing with the Dubs is how many of their players even suit the Aussie Rules?? You're looking at Fenton, and he blossomed too late to be picked up. Other than him, only Paul Flynn stands out as being similar in athleticism to the other guys selected.
