Reports have come out that a number of AFL clubs are looking at potentially signing Dublin minor star, Cian Raftery.
The 16-year-old was called up to the minors this year, and scored a whopping 2-20 in three group games.
The clubs said to be taking an interest in the Whithall Colmcille man are St Kilda, Sydney Swans, Melbourne Demons, Brisbane Lions and new franchise Tasmania Devils.
