IIRC Irish rookie listed players are selected at a Club's last rookie pick so he'll practically be player No.46 on our list which matches the odds of him making it or not. Interesting to see how he goes. Heslin's far more solidly built than skinny O'Reilly was so he has that advantage in making the transition from Gaelic football to Aussie Rules.

Games on Irishman’s agenda (RFC)

Games on Irishman’s agenda
By Adrian Ceddia
richmondfc.com.au
Thu 26 Jan, 2012


Richmond’s international rookie, Irishman John Heslin, says he is itching to experience consistent match play, after six months of solid training.

“Six months is a long time not to play games, and I’m getting to the stage where I’m just itching to play games,” he said.

“Back home I used to play games once a week, sometimes twice, for the whole year, and only have a week or two off.  So six months of just training has been tough that way. “

“It’s my first time having a pre-season ever, because I never had one when I was in Ireland,” he said.

“It’s been a real learning experience for me.  The best part of it has been getting to understand my body."

Homesick Tiger rookie quits
RICHMOND'S Irish recruit John Heslin has returned home after just three months on the Tigers' list.

Heslin is the third Richmond player in the past two years to give in to homesickness. Relton Roberts and Troy Taylor both returned to the Northern Territory after brief careers at Punt Rd.

Heslin was selected at pick 90 in the 2011 NAB AFL Rookie Draft but has returned to Ireland 'indefinitely'.

In a statement released by the Tigers, general manager of football Craig Cameron said the club would support Heslin's decision.

"It’s never easy for young players to relocate to a new country, a long way from their family and friends. John found that transition difficult, and has experienced homesickness," Cameron said.

"We have worked hard to support John and will continue to do so, but we understand his decision to return home at this time."
