O'Dwyer first Irishwoman named AFLW All-Australian (RTE.ie)

Tipperary dual star Orla O'Dwyer has become the first Irishwoman to be named an AFLW All-Australian, Aussie Rules' version of the All-Stars.

Considine featured in the Crows' 40-26 win over Fremantle at the same stage and the two Irishwomen could go head to head in the final on Saturday (3.30am Irish time). The sizeable Irish AFLW contingent (14 players) have been able to return home and represent their counties in the All-Ireland championships in recent years but a mooted August start to next season could mean hard choices ahead for some. Jim Stynes (1991 and '93) is the only Irish man to have achieved the same honour.

O’Dwyer has also played camogie for Tipperary in the past, although she could be prevented from lining out for her county in either Gaelic football or camogie in the future, as next season’s AFLW season could be brought forward to start this August. The Brisbane forward has become the first Irish Aussie Rules player to be named in the All-Australian team (the equivalent of the GAA’s All-Stars) since Jim Stynes was named in the men’s team back in 1993.
