Darragh Joyce (2014)
The Brisbane Lions have claimed their first AFL premiership in 21 years after dominating the Sydney Swans in a 60-point victory in the grand final at the MCG last September.
Among those celebrating is Kilkenny man Darragh Joyce, who despite not featuring in the final, has played for the club on a number occasions over the past two seasons.
The former Kilkenny minor hurling captain, who joined the club during the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period, experienced a solid first year, making six AFL appearances in 2023.

The defender is known for his physical presence in the air and played an integral part in the club’s march toward a VFL Preliminary Final last season.
Joyce also played a further 13 AFL games with St Kilda between 2017 and 2022.
Before heading Down Under, the Rower Inistioge clubman was well-known in Kilkenny GAA and captained the Cats to All-Ireland Minor Final glory against Limerick in 2014.
