But it appears Evans is not in Victoria’s plans for next season and at 24 he has reached a now-or-never point with the football option.

Yes Soldo was added as a Cat b in Nov 2014Give you Soldo on one side of that equation. Was recruited about 9-10 years ago though. Not much since then with lots of injuries.
Why don't we get any Irish players?
Perhaps, but the successful ones turn out to be serious players.Failure rate is high across the league.
Yes, thinking we got lucky with His cousin bringing him down to the club rather than club identifying him as a talentSoldo got us a second rounder and a third rounder as well as playing in a premiership so was a success.
Can't recall Soldo having that decolletage.I'll let Frank Drebin answer this:
